R4 SDHC (r4ultra version) custom themes not working...

nice one bboy1!!

The crap themes that came with my R4 didn't bother me...

Until I saw some of the awesome user created ones!!

 

sry guys im not doin my sight anymore...

 

You need to open each image in photoshop and then save AS, Bitmap, 16 bit...There might be a freeware image editing program that does this too, but I don't know of one.

 

bboy1 - Can U Plzzzzzzzzzzz turn this into 16bit

Hey Guys,
My mom actually found this one to make em work and its easy and free!!!!

GiMP is freeware that can convert the themes from a bit depth of 24 to a bit depth of 16.

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

1. Go to GiMP (see above link)
2. Download GiMP file (the one at the top/center for use with 2000+)
3. Right click on file name
4. Select 'Edit with GiMP'
5. At this point, you can change the image, then go to File/ Save As
6. Leave file name the same (or change if you want different name) and click Replace
7. On the next window, click on Advanced Options
8. Under 16bit, you MUST select the x1 R5 G5 B5 option (red, green,blue 15 bits + parity)
9. Click SAVE

Done. You do this with all themes you want to convert.

Way to go Mom!!!!

Hi Guys,

Just read this forum today, and thanks to the pointers given here, I manage to find the solution. So I'm sharing it with you all.

To those who doesnt want to download big apps like Photoshop and GIMP, there is a small application that can do batch conversion for BMP from 24 bit depth to 16 bit depth. The application is Easy Graphic Converter. You can download it from here:

Just open the directory that contains the 24-bit depth image, then go to settings, set output directory and 16-bit depth image.

 

Hi Guys,

So yeah, thanks for the info. I figured it was a problem like that. And thanks also for the little file convertor program. I wasn't looking forward to reinstalling photoshop to do it one by one.

So, nice one. I still think an R4 Ultra website is a good idea though. Or at least a sub-forum dedicated to it. I suppose I could reopen my old forum for that purpose if you're interested in the idea.

Lemme know anyways.

One more thing though. Did anyone figure out how to make the themes switch for the R4 Ultra? It's just select on the old one, or select and A or something or other. But no combination of buttons seems to work for the Ultra.

There isn't a patch out yet for it, either. At least I didn't see one in their site. So maybe some programmer-minded out there can fix it for us?

 

Hey i know its not nice bring this topic back but i was having the same problem then i download R4TC Alice 0.8
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SDU4MNAC
note. you will need the Microsoft .Net framework
then i open the theme on import option the last one
then when its loaded change the color depth to 16 bit (1)choose a export location then click on export. There you got an R4 ultra Theme Working!
note. Later i will made a post with screen shots for better view
