A new skins page & Mario skin

I couldn’t resist making a skin out of a Mario wallpaper I found on the net, but I wanted to make it with it’s own icons instead of the standard stuff I’ve been using.

I managed to find some retro Mario icons which I think work well with the theme, but I just used the ‘Vista style’ images as the template. I think it works well and the Nintendo logo looks good on the DS, it’s slightly off-center, but it doesn’t look too bad.

To download it for yourself, visit the newly created Game Character Skins page!

A few new babes skins

I’ve also put together a few babes skins for the people that prefer to use a skin of a slightly more mature nature, just as long as the kiddies that prefer anime/manga skins realise that the world doesn’t evolve around cartoons and that people have different tastes.

Anyway, I picked a few babes from a link in a comment and I have to say that although I tend to prefer brunettes, I do rather like Katina, she’s quite cute.

To download any of the babes skins, you’ll need to visit the babes skins page of course!

Three new Spongebob skins

Well, the weather got slightly better while I was making the skins and then decided to start raining again once I’d finished them.

To start off with, I’ve put together three new Spongebob skins, one of which features Patrick. These are quite exclusive as they’re done from screens taken from a couple of episodes that are on some free DVD the kids got from McDonalds.

With these new skins, it brings the total available to 5, not a massive amount, but a choice nonetheless. To see the Spongebob skins, you’ll need to go to the Spongebob skin page!

So, what’s next…?

I sit here wondering what to do due to already having done everything I want to.

I’ve recently downgraded my PSP, played the emulators and tested an iso/cso which seem to work, but as I’m using DevHook and not custom firmware, I can only go up to 3.01 firmware. I might consider using custom firmware so that I can play some of the later games I have (legal games by the way) as I really only wanted to downgrade to try out emulators and homebrew.

That may seem a bit far fetched and I can imagine the groans of ‘yeah yeah’, but I do actually believe in buying games that I want rather than pirating them, just because I have the resources to download and play pirated games doesn’t mean I do. It’s the same with the Nintendo DS, yes, I have an R4 card and 2GB Micro SD card, that doesn’t automatically mean I use it for illegal activities.

I might try having a go at sorting my Xbox out which b0rk3d when using a dodgy disk to load something in, I should have just left it soft-modded the way it was, but I had to go and try something else… I haven’t bothered even trying to mod the PS2, I don’t see the point since there’s not a lot you can do with it anyway, it’s not like there’s any specific homebrew scene for it anyway and all you can do is play ‘back-up’ games.

I’ve already done the porn thing on pretty much every console except the PS3 which I don’t have any interest in anyway, it was just a clip just to test it out since I don’t actually watch porn, the clip I used could have been anything, it just happened to be porn. Anyway, where do we go from here? It’s a ‘been there, done that’ situation in which I just don’t know what to do next.

It’s good to see so many people looking for info about the R4DS, I didn’t realise it was so popular until I started getting 100’s of views with a peak on June 21st of just over 700. I guess I have WordPress to thank for that with their optimised search bot crawl thingy, it would have taken months for me to get that many views before, which is why I’m sticking with WP as long as possible for people to find my info a lot quicker than if I hosted it elsewhere.

I’ll be making some more R4 skins soon, maybe later today if the weather doesn’t improve…
