Over the past weeks I have been working on Project CiTRUS (citrus). Currently this tool boasts the capability to output "proper" Nintendo 3DS (CTR) BaNneR and ICoN files using my XBSF format.

You may notice that creating these formats is not yet available in any other released tool. Over the course of time I will do my best to add creating new formats of 3DS files among various other calculations if I see users are liking the program.
If you have v0.1 please update it! There are new bug fixes, GUI changes, and updates! It is also more n00b compliant than the previous version. (now has a lot of help text)
I do not include an editor for the image formats, however, I do include an example of each required file for generating a test banner/icon. I do this not to troll, but rather in the hopes that it will encourage other talented users to make programs for the 3DS.
USE
Since v0.2, a readme is not really necessary anymore. I've included helpful text inside each tab in the CiTRUS window to do things on-the-fly without needing to switch between notepad and CiTRUS.
INPUT:
- 1x XBSF (Xtended Banner Specifications(Spec) File)
- 2x CTPK (CTR Texture PacKage)
- 1x BCWAV (Banner CTR Wave)
- 1x CBMD (CTR Banner Model Data)
OUTPUT:
- 1x BNR (Optional)
- 1x ICN (Optional)
ISSUES
I don't think there is any, but since this is a beta please report to me if there are issues that come about!
UPCOMING
Currently I am working on some *ahem* things I would like to keep private until they are stable as I am currently unsure of how long it will take or even if they will eventually be stable.
Please stay tuned!
News: I am working very hard on a new feature. For now I will *not* say exactly what it is BUT I hope to unveil it at the GBATemp Homebrew Bounty.
The new feature is not ready just yet but it is currently a working proof-of-concept. I will give a hint that this "new feature" will revolutionize the 3DS's so-called "scene".
