    How do I change rom icons on my PC?

    For example, I always see people on their YouTube tutorials how they have their .nds rom icons reflect the game they are playing instead of the plane old blank icon.

    How do they do that? Anybody?

    I think it might vary from loader program to loader program on your flashkart? But if you use akaio, you would have to use a bmp image that is 32x32 pixels saved at x1 r5 g5 b5 which you would then save in the same directory with the naming matching that of the rom that you wish to use the icon for.

    Thanks for your reply Nia_Teppelin but I don't want to do this for my flashkart.

    I would like to do this for my PC. So when my 4 year old daughter who can't read yet can open the rom from within no$gba by looking at the roms icon and be able to tell her games apart from the rest.

    Get the CycloDS tools. http://www.cyclopsds.com/downloads/EvoTools-1.0-BETA2.zip

    That package contains a thingy that will make your .nds ROMs display the icon.
