The firmware of 1.70 operated. Thanks.
However, the screen broke in case of the downgrade to 1.63.
but, It reconciles if it returns it to 1.70 afterwards.

NOT DOWNGRADE!

and, I cannot dump the firmware in scdumper.

Cant find anything with this either that looks similar to the picture.
BMPtoABG must do something extensive to the file

A question for someone who has installed that 1.70 firmware. Did the graphic on the bottom screen change any? Like it had two wavy line things at the top and bottom?

If the graphic he sent me is the one he is going to use in the next release, then I believe my first guess was correct. The current bottom screen graphic is not a full 256x192 image, but a cropped down image. However if in the next release he uses this new screen he sent to me, it will be full size and much easier to find.

I have not changed graphic.downgrade was done to 1.63firmware by way of experiment, the display became amusing.
It returns normally if 1.70firmware is written again.

Actually, I ment, did it look like this:


Thats the pic Romman sent to me. So I am guessing it is going to be the one he uses in the next version of the firmware. I do hope we can skin over it, because frankly, it blows.

Yeah that sucked  :lol:
Why don't they hire a nice gfx artist to make SC a much more nicer looking product.

Hehe. I even offered him my services as a graphic artist a while back for free. His turning me down is what made me go dig up the info on this skinning program.  :lol:

I think it's better to wait for official 1.70, it may be easier to mod as arcc said. I hope the actual tools will still work with it  :?

Will we be able to upgrade our firmware safely after we've skinned the firmware?? Or is there some risk?

Many firmware mod have been done in the past (eg Autoboot) without disabling upgrade, so I think we are safe on this topic.

flashmp doesnt care what firmware its overwriting, so u will always be able to use that then upgrade if da worst comes to da worst =/

[ghaxaq]

But I have already skinned my firmware..so if I want to upgrade to the newest firmware and overwrite the skinned one there will be no problem??.. or do I have to reflash back to the old original skin firmware?

By now it is not linked on the Supercard page.

It would be nice if you can get it work on SC Lite.

No problem.I confirmed it.

or do I have to reflash back to the old original skin firmware?

No, cannot do it.I wrote the other day,display becomes strange.

Sorry.
SCL and Rumble series, these cannot do the downgrade.It is because there is only upgrade.scu of ver.1.63.

But, CF and SD and MiniSD version, these can do the downgrade.
write procedure.When it is CF(ver.1.63) now...
-> 1.70.bin -> 1.62.bin -> 1.63.scu(or flashmp.nds).
If you do according to this procedure, can do the downgrade.

Try it!
