What's new

  • Better speed when switching sections
  • Empty sections now possible, displaying the text "No Games"
  • Fullscreen background incorporated, can be replaced
  • Fixed bug when reordering section names
  • config.cfg is now a proper ini file and was thus renamed to config.ini
  • sections.cfg is now sections.ini
  • last_state.cfg is now last_state.sav
  • Font, logo background and fullscreen background are now configurable in config.ini
  • The media folder is configurable in config.ini, so the usual .previews folder can be used, if desired
  • Added support for the png extension, for pico8 games

Notes

- I had to fix the new pocket go OPK. If using the New Pocket Go version, which is slightly newer, add this at the end of config.ini:
;=========================================================================
;DON'T DELETE THIS SECTION, ONLY MODIFY WHAT YOU NEED!!!
;=========================================================================
[FAVORITES]
headerBackground = 1B1F22
headerFont = E76D3E
bodyBackground = 313A42
bodyFont = 989D98
selectedItemBackground = F85529
selectedItemFont = 1B212A
logo = resources/favorites/logo.png

  • Scaling images (especially big ones) takes more processing power than using images that fit the screen resolution (320x240), so navigation may be slower if doing this,
  • I don't have my Bittboy with me at the moment, so I'm not making a release for it at this time.

Instructions

  1. If you have a previous installation, backup your sections.cfg and favorites.sav, delete your old /home/.simplemenu directory
  2. Put the OPK in the /media/data/apps folder and run it once from gmenunx
  3. After the first execution, the /home/.simplemenu folder will be created with the proper configuration files in it
  4. If you had a previous installation, you can replace the contents of config.ini and favorites.sav with the contents of your backed up config.cfg and favorites.sav files, respectively.
  5. If you didn't have a previous installation, just edit /home/.simplemenu/sections.ini with a good text editor, like notepad++ (so you get syntax highlighting), to set your emulators and rom folders for each section.
  6. Feel free to edit config.ini as well, it has more options than before and allows for more customization
