I finally figured out how to make a skin after days of trying. It's still a work in progress but with a little work it will be nice. The sides need some work and that has never been my strong point. I'll show you what I'm talking about. If anyone wants to help me fix this problem, please pm me.

If you get it fixed, can you post it here? It looks stunning already!

Why don't you post what you already have on here, so everyone can take a look?

Looks great, I'm d/l it now and hopefully I'll be able to fix the sides, but I can't promise anything...

go to options, then video, then render method, and it should be there.

Although I removed the white edges in Paint by changing the background to black so I could see them, when I substitute it for the original it makes no difference! And I can't run the region creator, as I use XP. Can someone do this? I cleaned up an area I missed at the top:

Does it have to be a bmp file?

Yup, gave it a little facelift in PS but I'm not sure if I removed to much... You should add a power on /off animation...

I use XP and I can run it. Just run it through the command prompt. That's how I did it.

Also, do you still have the original image? It seems the left edge of the GBA is nudged... Look for a big, read circle

Maybe forgotten knows. It would be much easier to use a gif or jpeg.

Here is a png with transparency. The edges need some slight smoothing if it is to be used. Oh, Internet Explorer is broken so the image will not appear transparent...
