What's new

  • Sections can now be grouped. It's now possible to have different groups for consoles, home computers, arcade emulators, etc., avoiding long lists of consoles which can be cumbersome to travel through.
  • Pressing and releasing "B" will bring up the section groups screen.
  • Added "Section group backgrounds", all of them created by RxBrad for https://github.com/rxbrad/es-theme-gbz35.

Notes

  • This time, you are better off deleting your .simplemenu folder and letting the application create it again. Be sure to backup sections.ini and favorites.sav, before deleting .simplemenu
  • Note that there's a new "section_groups" folder.
    Whatever ini files for sections are put inside this folder, will be read as a sections group by SimpleMenu, and their names will be used as as group titles. If only one file exists inside that folder, the launcher will behave exactly like the last version, having one single list of consoles

Instructions

  1. Put the OPK in the /media/data/apps folder and run it from gmenu.
  2. After the first execution, the /home/.simplemenu folder will be created with the proper configuration files in it
  3. If you have a backup of favorites.sav or sections.ini
  • replace favorites.sav with your own file and
  • put your sections.ini file inside the "section_groups" folder
  • If you would like to have only one long list of consoles, feel free to delete the other ini files inside this folder, as well as the associated pngs (you will miss everything that makes this version special, though).
  1. If you don''t have a previous install, you will see that sections.ini doesn't exist anymore. Instead, you can edit the different ini files inside the "section_groups" folder, which have the exact same format as the old sections.ini. As already mentioned, you can also leave just one long sections file, like the one used until the last version.
  2. Make sure to check config.ini as well, to see which options you can change. Ignore the CPU section. The shutdown behavior is disabled by default so, if you want simplemenu to shut down your console, you need to set this value to "1" in this file

Potential issues

If after restoring your sections.ini file you get a black screen when starting the menu

  • delete laststate.sav
  • launch the application again
  • it will say there's no laststate file and quit
  • Let it exit and launch it again.
