About Banner Creator

Banner Creator is a tool for Windows (and possibly Linux via Mono) for opening and viewing existing banners, and to create your own.


Update Jan/09

This project has ceased development, work may resume at a later date, but I don't know when... http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3226,6584#msg-6584


Update Dec/08

The Banner Creator has been under minimal development, so I have decided to upload the current project in source code to my drop site. Feel free to download it, check it out, play with it, etc. I probably won't be doing any more updates to it, at least until the new year.

Additional: The FTD2XX_NET.dll is a .NET library I downloaded for access FTD200 USB devices (for example, USBGecko).
