Supercard DSTwo Flashcard

Supercard DStwo - ds2skin packs

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-SFC: Similar to the GBA 'skin' but for the SNES emulator
* iReader: When using the 'iReader' application - this is the skin you would see
* RTM (or Real-Time-Menu): This one is the screen you see when you use the DSTwo 'Real Time Save' option
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' files, of which most can be found @ this post
