Hacking New Theme for EZ-Flash Omega!

[daddu3]

I'll do some testing when I get the chance to do so, and if I can make a patch for Goomba Paletted, then I will upload it here.

Alright---

Anyway, tested Goomba Paletted on my end further, and it seems unable to save at all, including SRAM and the color + border configurations.

Yeah, I think Goomba Paletted just has problems on this cartridge

It used to work on your former SimpleLight-themes though, hence why I used it for a year now or so before updating on this newer SL-theme. Though in general, 32kb games can't save on Goomba Paletted, but that was already mentioned in it's readme-document.

Wait, it used to work?

Yeah, I think it was around versions 2.5 or 2.6.

That is odd.

Can someone just upload the ezkernel.bin pre-compiled binary so I don't have to build it myself? Is there a reason making everyone build their own bins ?

???
The package in the original post IS the precompiled binary, and installation instructions.

OK, Thank you very much... I can see that now. Sorry for the confusion. I totally missed that the first time, and went directly to the GitHub link instead and downloaded and installed DevKit and started building the project. I guess now I have everything in terms of the developer tools that I need to start writing homebrew GBA games...

 

[Pkerga]

really amazing. Thank you so much. I just received my Ez Flash omega. I adopted this not so "simple" theme !

How should my files look when setting this up? Will there ever be a tutorial on Youtube? I cant get images to appear after I updated to your kernel, yet it worked on the old one.
(Nevermind, just saw the top of the post.) But i could only find the newest version of the light theme, but the dark seems to be outdated from the (i think) 2.0 release?)

I'll admit, I wasn't a big fan of the original font in the earlier versions. But after using the latest version for a few months now, I must sincerely say, this is one of the greatest additions to the flash cart and Game Boy community I've ever seen. The Omega on its own is already great enough, but now you've gone and transformed it into an absolute powerhouse. I've got my Omega jam-packed with all my favorite albums, movies, books, photos, and of course, thousands of games, not to mention all the homebrew titles and rom hacks. This theme has taken it to a whole nother level. I've always hated that there's no version of Bosconian across the NES and Game Boy lineup, but now I can just load up the MSX/PCE version and have at it. On top of the multitude of file types now readily accessible from a console released nearly two decades ago, is the beautiful user interface you've created. Just browsing through files is entertaining. I know I'm rambling on, but I truly appreciate what you've done and I cannot thank you enough. The community is lucky to have you.

There are a few small things with the font that could be fixed.

The left bracket " [ " is a couple of pixels too far left and the forward slash " / " is a pixel too low. Both can be seen in this image:

Also, the upper case "I" (as in "image") is indistinguishable from the lowercase "l" (as in library).

It would be nice to see these fixed.

Oof... i can relate, every time i notice something like this it just keeps bugging me to no end... That said, i would have phrased "It would be nice to see these fixed" a little bit different... you know... something like "I know it is nitpicky, but would it be possible for you to fix (insert somewhat unreasonable complaint here) in an update of sort, when you find the time?" That is just my personal opinion though and in no way mend to offend you in any way!

Did you REALLY have to pick apart what I said? I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. I don't see your point here and it just seems like an obnoxious nitpick. Not to mention it's insulting coming from someone who is non-English speaking.

I would prefer not starting any arguments with anyone over anything ridiculous like this. So if we can keep things civil and stay on topic that would be great.

So the personal opinion of some one who is non-english speaking is insulting? Right... let's better leave it at that!
