'''
Step 1:'''
 
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">
 
<span>Spoiler: <span class="SpoilerTitle">Rom file selection</span></span>
<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">
 
Open the program. You'll see this screen:
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F54OzckM.png&hash=45493c396c129eec8a56abbe24205175|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
Press '''Open GB File''' button. It'll prompt you to pick a .gb file.
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsOLjSEr.png&hash=dc8ee421b27faae5aec18beccc94fe92|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
For this tutorial I'll pick the game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Link%27s_Awakening The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening] (not DX version).
 
When you pick a rom you'll be able to go to '''Step 2 (icon and name)'''.
 
</div>
 
</div>
 
'''Step 2:'''
 
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">
 
<span>Spoiler: <span class="SpoilerTitle">VC game icon and name</span></span>
<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">
 
This is the '''Step 2''' main screen:
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FM15JL1g.png&hash=1b86cd86a5b3bb2cc8e8a561d43292f2|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
All the fields are explained in the info boxes, but let me know if something doesn't understand.
 
Complete the fields making the most legit as possible (if you want to). ''For example'':
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7NI1V9l.png&hash=e6c54d8e1d0d39ec5645b9deb11db968|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
I used a title screen screenshot in it's original size as icon (the program will automatically stretch it).
To get that &quot;old pallete&quot; style in my screenshot, I took it with [http://bgb.bircd.org/ BGB Emulator], doing '''right click&gt; Options...&gt; GB Colors''', and setting like this:
 
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3sFybB1.png&hash=172b990ae6e69e2bdf148775618d28db|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]] [[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4r5DeJc.png&hash=c25c13dfe6430fd096962f3e663ecee5|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJCWzQTc.png&hash=b26860f9725749cbfc481ace856f4f20|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]] [[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FilKyMJE.png&hash=7fe8863368fea14eb1ff86e6207e8534|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
When you complete all the fields you'll able to go to '''Step 3 (3d banner)'''.
 
</div>
 
</div>
 
'''Step 3:'''
 
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">
 
<span>Spoiler: <span class="SpoilerTitle">VC GB 3D banners</span></span>
<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">
 
This is the '''Step 3''' main screen:
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fq6bAh2z.png&hash=3e9e2e989d3483307567501e1a2dc9ae|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
''Note:'' The program will load some default values (based on those in '''Step 2'''), but you can anyway replace these default values with ohter ones.
Example: if you want the icon and 3D banner to have different images, then first complete '''Step 2''' with the icon image that you want and then complete '''Step 3''' with the banner image that you want. Otherwise if you are too lazy or you want the same standard as legit VC CIA, leave it as is.
 
For this example, I'll let the same image as the icon, but <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">I'll edit the bottom banner, importing a custom one I made with GIMP (using the '''import and use custom footer image''' option):
 
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUEc6Xie.png&hash=8c457aaf86e163f65480a52209ca6897|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]�
You can also make your own text banner without leaving the application, as a quick and easy solution. You can change the font type, size, and brightness. Also there's a preview of that text banner (ignore the red borders, they won't be there in the console).
 
Doing my changes for this example:</span>
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F55ltoU3.png&hash=0c3e9d02d5883b088355111ceb75f585|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
When you complete or modify all the fields you'll able to go to '''Step 4 (VC parameters)'''.
 
</div>
 
</div>
 
'''Step 4:'''
 
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">
 
<span>Spoiler: <span class="SpoilerTitle">VC parameters</span></span>
<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">
 
This is the '''Step 4''' main screen:
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FuFbRvEZ.png&hash=6fbff5f018fbcd220ab1ae4097742519|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
<div style="text-align: center">
 
?
 
</div>
In this screen you can make the game full screen (as long as you launch the game without holding START or SELECT button).
You can also edit the ingame palletes for both ''normal'' and ''&quot;green effect&quot;'' modes.
The ''normal mode'' pallete is the one you'll see by default.
The ''&quot;green effect&quot;'' mode pallete is the one you'll see when you change mode by pressing L+R+Y.
 
'''It doesn't support custom ingame frame borders right now.'''
 
For this example I'll pick the Super Gameboy pallete for the ''normal'' mode. To do this I press the '''Edit normal pallete''' button, which summon a pallete selector form.
 
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FhTgZUjP.png&hash=f2faf40381fb1483bb0bb9ca9769ca45|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
The pallete selector form supports exporting a pallete to a file, so they can be shared between you.
 
 
For this example want the full screen mod, and the Super Gameboy pallete as normal pallete. For the ''&quot;green effect&quot;'' pallete I'll let the green original one. This is the result:
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmTLz0ZA.png&hash=cb345600500150e9e963c7fb0111567d|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
There's some things I didn't say, but I think they're self-explanatory (If not, let me know!).
 
Once we have everything ready, press '''Finish''' button.
 
That's it! The application will ask you where do you want to save the CIA file and It took some seconds to create it.
When the CIA is ready, the application will let you know it.
 
[[File:proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FWeSqtjy.png&hash=7e5c79dad397a604ea13428da0954c77|class=bbCodeImage LbImage|[?IMG]]]
 
Then you can install the CIA in sdcard using any CIA manager (actually I use the new FBI).
