What's new

  • Bittboy and Original Pocket go are back in the game :)
  • Section colors are now separated in the new theme.ini, so themes can be created more easily
  • sections.ini has become MUCH simpler and easier to configure.
  • Several section configuration parameters are now optional (like category or aliasFile) to make sections.ini cleaner
  • The execDirs configuration is not necessary anymore
  • The execs configuration now needs the full path along the executable name (see new sections.ini)

Notes

  • Hopefully for the last time, you will need to delete your /home/.simplemenu folder, let the application create the default configuration files and rebuild your (much, much more simpler!!) sections.ini. Future releases will adhere to this same file scheme.
  • If you add sections that are not listed in the default sections.ini (like Daphne or PICO8) you NEED to also add their colors to theme.ini

Instructions

  1. For RG-350 or NPG, put the OPK in the /media/data/apps folder and run it once from gmenu. For Bittboy just decompress the zip file to apps/simplemenu.
  2. After the first execution, the /home/.simplemenu folder will be created with the proper configuration files in it
  3. If you had a previous installation, you can use it to rebuild the contents of sections.ini and favorites.sav
  4. 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.
  5. Make sure to check config.ini as well, it has more options than before and allows for more customization. It also has the shutdown behavior disabled by default for RG-350 and NPG, so if you want simplemenu to shut down your console, you need to set this value to "1" in this file
