What's new

  • All new config file, easier to modify.
  • Favorites screen title now displays what console a game is for.
  • Revamped picture mode: now a menu is shown over the pictures, every time a key is pressed, and it's hidden after a while.
  • Multifolder support for roms: more than one folder can be specified to be scanned for roms/files, for a particular section
  • Added support for OPKs
  • Added support for GMenu2x links: adding the .fgl (as in "friggin' GMenu link") extension to a GMenu2x link, will let SimpleMenu use it to launch the application the links points to, if the folder where the link resides is configured as a rom/file folder for a section.
  • Only for RG-350 (for the moment): support for more than one emulator per section. If correctly configured (check out the genesis section), pressing start before launching a game let's you select which emulator to use, only for that particular launch. Coming soon to the Bittboy version as well.

Instructions

  1. Delete your old /home/.simplemenu directory, if you have it.
  2. Create the folder /mnt/app/SimpleMenu, if on Bittboy, or /media/data/SimpleMenu, if on RG-350.
  3. Copy the contents of the zip file to the newly created folder.
  4. If you want to make SimpleMenu your default launcher, place autoexec.sh on the root folder of the main partition, if on Bittboy, or put frontend-start in /media/data/local/sbin, if on RG-350. If you ever want to go back to your old launcher, delete autoexec.sh or frontend-start, otherwise, if you just delete SimpleMenu, your console will boot to a black screen. I will include a better script in future versions.
  5. If you don't want to replace your main launcher, just create a link to the SimpleMenu executable in your preferred frontend and launch it as a regular app.
  6. After the first execution a .simplemenu folder will be created in /home.
  7. Edit /home/.simplemenu/sections.cfg with a text editor, to set your emulators and rom folders for each section.
  8. If you want to change the way SimpleMenu acts, like making it start in fullscreen mode or avoiding the shutdown combo to shut down your system (Start+Select), feel free to edit config.cfg as well.
