ba-GUI-nnertool is a homebrew prgoram for customizing 2D/3D banner and icon/SMDH. It was originally a simple tool that allows you to extract banner.bnr from any decrypted CIA, more features were later added and it is now more like a CIA editor/builder.

  • Remane them to banner1.bcmdl, banner2.bcmdl, banner3.bcmdl... (don't touch the banner0.bcmdl or banner.cbmd).
  • With an exheditor open each "bannerX.bcmdl" then search for JPN_JP and modifiy to *corresponding region/language then save. (ex: EUR_EN for banner1.bcmdl).

FAQ

Q. How can I import 3D model in the banner?

You can use 3D Studio Max to create your .OBJ file. Then import it as a new CGFX file in EveryFileExplorer.

Choose .bcmdl/.cgfx (it's the same) to save the result and built a new banner.bnr.

Q. How to I edit the Icon text?

It is the description text wihch you can change in the Icon tab of ba-GUI-nnertool (the text is in the icon.icn).

You may need to delete the cache afterwards for the edited texts to display.
