I try to update from b131 to b133
it shows updated
but when I check version
it is b131?
what is the problem
 
So I just took a look at the source... and it looks like you're doing all the rendering on CPU!? No wonder I'm having framerate issues on o3DS with a background image...

original homebrew launcher does this as well. https://github.com/smealum/3ds_hb_menu
Currently, everything in hbmenu is rendered in software. The reason for that is of course that homebrew GPU support is still unstable and very much a work in progress. Eventually, one of our goals should be to make hbmenu use the GPU for rendering.
 
Still, from a cursory glance I can see a couple ways drawing could be optimized even if you're staying in CPU (namely, pre-drawing each page's grid itself onto a separate buffer and blitting that instead of redrawing each and every one each frame, especially if you have overlapping sprites that could just be baked down!)
 
I looked in the wiki but i didn't found my answer, is there any way to directly show the home menu instead of the 3ds folder? I saw that we can change the folder but what about the home menu?

I feel that the "background title loader", which loads titles in another thread is continuing after exiting the "title selector" and that slow down the menu for a bit. That may just be a false feeling.
 
I Installed it an dit worked, but when I try to boot into the hombrewlauncher now from a cold boot with L pressed, it won't work? How can I get that to work again?
 
For some reason, I can display everything BUT FBI or mGBA. They just won't show up on the launcher whatsoever.
I have it set up like; sD:/3ds/mGBA (1-13-16)/mgba.3dsx & mgba.smdh
SD:/3ds/FBI 1.4.17/ FBI.3dsx & FBI.smdh

I tried both 2 rows and three row view. I'm on the latest version of grid launcher.

Also one other thing. I thought SVDT was a save manager. How come whenever I choose it, it shows me a list of titles from my home menu?

1.Folder names must be the same as the .3dsx and smdh

2. Choose the game you want to extract the save when it shows what game you have

Ah I see, I had no idea the name mattered like that.

Whenever I choose SVDT, I'm not brought to another screen. Instead it's showing me system titles like Camera, music, or just about anything installed to my home menu. I thought SVDT brings you to a whole new black screen. I'm gonna check all the folder names + .3dsx & .smdh names.
