As some of you may (or not) know, I'm building a flashcart theme website. So instead of having to look through page upon page upon thread upon thread for a theme you like the themes will all be searchable by name, color, flashcart and firmware version. The preview images will be automagically generated, and the website will be fast and navigable.
I also have plans for 'theme serieses' (sp?) which allow the author to group certain themes together. Say they created a theme with a version for all the flashcarts, they could group them all in the same series.
Anyway, on to what I need help with.

I've finished about half the work so far, but now I'm onto the bit where it checks that all the needed theme files are there. The problem is that I don't know exactly what files are needed... I am looking for these answers as well, but it takes up my time. It would take me a lot longer to find out for myself than for somebody who knew to type it out. (I've tried looking and I'm still searching, but some help would be nice)

If you think you can help me, please do. I'm setting out my results like this:
R4DS
 1.05
   bckgrd_1.bmp
   bckgrd_2.bmp
   icons.bmp
   logo.bmp
 1.07
   + theme.ini

The name of the flashcart, then the firmware/OS version then the files needed. If a later version needs more files, do as I have done in my example. All the indentations are two spaces, by the way.

I don't need to know every file, just the required ones. For SCDS1 that would (probably) be the top screen graphic, the bottom screen one and the menu graphic. Ok, I don't really know. That's why I'm asking for help.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and if I can offer anything in return for the help just ask me (within reason!)

Thanks a lot

I'm looking for:
    R4DS
    SuperCard DS 1
    EZ-Flash V
    DSOrganize
    DS-X[/list]
    Cyan items have already been found by myself or others. Thanks!

    For R4, theme.ini is optional, and you can also have a theme-matching gbaframe.bmp.
    Manually signing your posts is dumb.

    Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

    Yeah I'm not sure how to organize things like that... I could have a page with a list of files contained like so:
    Required Files
     + theme.ini
     + gbaframe.bmp

    In fact, that's how I'll do it.

    Thanks
