Wii U DS VC Custom Layouts
What this is:
This allows you to modify the layouts of the DS VC and even use custom backgrounds!
What you need:
Dumped DS VC ready for Loadiine. Injected one work too
Editor for .json files, I reccommed Notepad++
.png editor if you want to use custom backgrounds
How it works:
Custom Layouts:
1. Open your VC's configuration_cafe.json in an editor. Located in SD:\wiiu\games\VCDS\content\[numbers]
2. Inside, you'll see all the layouts. Heres the discription what everything does:
3. Just edit as you like. Pretend your TV has a resulution of 1280x720 and the GamePad 854x480.
4. Thats it, just save and try it.
Custom Backgrounds:
1. In configuration_cafe.json again, search for "resource" of one of the layouts.
2. Change their names as in the example above. Keep the dictory and use 2 different names for Gamepad and TV!
3. Go to SD:\wiiu\games\VCDS\content\[numbers]\assets\textures and create 2 images.
They have to be as follow:
5. Save them, you should be good to go.
