How do you convert 2.003.2 bins into 2.004.4

darkneovamp · 12-24-2007

I just upgraded my firmware to 2.004.4 and would like to use some of the 2.003.2 skins. Is there anyway to convert the bin files?

Hi,
you can use for example miniPlayer Resource Editor, then you open the 2.003.2 bin file, do Edit -> Export all pictures. Then you pick some folder and pictures are saved there.
Then you open 2.003.4 bin file, and do Edit -> Import all pictures. Then you pick folder with exported pictures and there you are... =)
Now just Save and copy your resource.bin to the root folder of your player and install it.

I hope you understand my pretty bad English xD

This method does not actually work to well the reason being that the image numbering changes between firmware versions so some images are loaded to the wrong place, things like the Video loading animation has more frames and there are xtra images in 2.004 for the menu bars.

Aaaah, sorry for that mistake... =( I thought it work. =( I wanted to do it this way, but now I now it is nonsense.
Thx

P.S.: And what about compatibility between 2.003 and 2.004?
