If you have Brawl and an SD card, you may have noticed some weird folders on that SD card when browsing it on your computer. And in these folders, you may have noticed a lot of .BIN files. Well, some of those .BIN files are Brawl screenshots. When going through these folders, you should see one called RSBE, and inside of it, you should see one to three folders: al, rp, st. The screenshots are in al; rp holds replays; st holds stages.

This guide details how to customize your computer such that you can convert Super Smash Bros. Brawl screenshot files by right-clicking and clicking "Convert Brawl Screenshot". Please note that this method involves downloading two EXE files and creating a batch file. It is recommended that you virus-scan the EXE files prior to using them. Please note that this will also alter file associations for the .BIN file type. We take no responsibility for any damage or problems that may result from following any of the instructions in this guide.




Windows XP

You'll first have to download the two programs used to decode Brawl screenshots. The programs were developed by GTCoder.

Extract the programs from the ZIP and create a folder at the root of your hard drive called SSBB (C:/SSBB/ if you use drive C). Copy the programs into the new folder and type the following into Notepad:


@echo off set file=%1 set path=%~d1%~p1 set filename=%~n1 set extension=%~x1 @bindecrypt %file% "%temp%\%filename%.out" @out2jpg "%temp%\%filename%.out" "%path%%filename%.jpg"

Save it as "ssbbscrn.bat" in the same folder as the two programs.

Open any folder and on the menu bar, go to Tools -> Folder Options...
Go to the "File Types" tab and find .BIN in the scrollbox (hit "New" to create it if it is not present). Find it and hit "Advanced". A box should pop up titled "Edit File Type".

If you had to hit "New" to create it, then hit the "New..." button and type the following:
Action: Edit...
Application used to perform action: "C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe" "%1"
Now hit "OK". Click on the new action "Edit..." and hit "Set Default".

Now, we will create the "Create Brawl Screenshots" option. Hit "New..." and type the following information:

Action: Convert Brawl Screenshot
Application used to perform action: "C:\SSBB\ssbbscrn.bat" "%1"
