Hi, I was just messing around with Dolphin and attempting to do a few things.
1. Is there a way to pull a banner file from a .wad file where one isn't created by default? Or at least edit the code in a way to change the image. I was attempting to work through using a hex editing program to change each pixel to a colour and make an image that way, but it seems the exported size Dolphin uses (when right clicking the image in properties > info on the emulator) isn't the native size that's read and as such wasn't able to properly import a converted image to hex file.[From what I've found, blocks in the "A0 - 609F" range in the hex editor of .bin files are in relation to banner image, I'm not too sure on the specifics, but the .bin seems to be working with all other information past that point being nulled out and works as a simple image for the dolphin emulator]
EDIT - Putting an image in the same folder as the .wad file with the same name as the .wad/.iso (Not the game ID) works as a way to change it, but if possible, I'd like to get the banner image directly from the file since saving doesn't occur, I can't do this normally. This is for cleanliness to keep only bootable media in the folder. (I attempted to add another directory to banner icons and it didn't work, they need to be with the games)
-I seem to get an "Incorrect sBIT chunk length" when having the image inside the .iso folder each time dolphin refreshes/starts up also.
2. The method by which to use a file called "titles.txt" to rename titles within the game list doesn't seem to work with .wad files at all, and then when it comes to multi disc games for the Gamecube, the game ID is the same so I can't manually rename each disc without affecting the other. Is there a way to change this? Or in the case of the .wad files, do I need to edit the wad itself?
EDIT - In the creation of a "titles.txt", you only put in the first four numbers of the game ID and it will work. Editing the WAD itself has a character limit of 20.
3. Is there a way to rename the emulated Wii system? The default name given is "dolphin" but I'd like to change this if possible to be another name. This is due to some games using the system name for certain reasons and is having it automatically injected into the save file and is unavoidable whereas I'd like to get some customization in that regard.
EDIT - Through the installation of the Wii system menu, you're able to change the name of the Wii for emulation in games via the settings, a way to do this without doing so would be a good thing to know if anybody has more information
If anybody is able to help with any of these issues, I'd really appreciate the help.
