SuperCard DSTWO Flashcard

Information

A '.ds2skin' pack is a multiskin package for the DSTWO flashcard - developed by Stormwave

Each skin pack can contain a selection of graphics for each of the following 'Skins'

* plugin - this 'skin' is the one you first see once you have selected the flashcard from the DS/DSi menu

* eos - this 'skin' is the one you'll see once you selected to run a NDS game

* Loading - this is actually just a single screen that you see when you start up a NDS game etc

* NDS-GBA: this 'skin' is the one you see when you run the GBA emulator

* NDS-SNES: Similar to the GBA 'skin' but for the SNES emulator

* RTM (or Real-Time-Menu): This one is the screen you see when you use the DSTWO 'Real Time Save' option

* iReader: When using the 'iReader' application - this is the skin you would see

By using either his PC program or the DSTWO plugin homebrew (avaliable here) & selecting one of the packs (shown below) stored either on PC or SD card (depending on which program you use) - the program will install all the 'skins' within it into the appropriate folders on the SD card

(More information about the actual programs can be found here)

This Wiki contains a selection of '.ds2skin' file packs, of which most of the skins can be found in dedicated sections @ this post, which you should visit to see if any skins have been updated

Skin Files

Installation of ds2skin files:

Download any of the files below & extract it to end up with a '.ds2skin' file

Place the '.ds2skin' file either:-

* Somewhere on your PC & use the PC program to install it to the SD card

OR

* Store it in a folder called /_dstwo/skins/ on your DSTWO flashcard, and use the 'plugin' software to install it

Please note that when you change 'skins', that if the pack you are changing to does NOT have a particular 'skin' then the previous skin will still exist/show. To remove the previous skin, you will need to replace it with another
