Hacking New Theme for EZ-Flash Omega!

[Shikaki]

There is a script in the "Grit" folder that will convert your images into the proper format.
Also, make sure you grab the latest source code. The source code on GitHub right now is v3.42

Thank you for the clarification on this, apologies for the confusion it seems I have an older version of the source code from github saved on my computer. I have now redownloaded the latest source code from github and everything works great now! The build is now v3.42 on the built kernel. Thank you very much for the assistance!

I converted a .jpg image using the converter in the tools folder and put both the original and converted on my sd card and both briefly say loading and then show a blank screen

I was able to edit mine by saving them in .bmp image format before using the build skin files script in the Grit folder. I also only edited the images in the source/dark folder using MS paint and applying my custom image on top of the .bmp file already saved in the source/images folder

That's pretty odd. I'll DM you and we can figure this out.

Being using simple light for a while, but sometimes the NOR writing stops working, stucking on "(Copying..." and nothing happens after that.

Is it some kind of bug?

The counter stops too?

Can I save display options (palette, SGB mode, etc) in Goomba emulator?

Unfortunately, the saving of settings have been disabled because of the poor implementation of the direct save to SD card. If they were turned on, it has a much higher chance of causing SD card corruption

Is there a counter? With numbers?

There used to be a bar on the lower part of the screen, but now it only shows ' (. ' as if it was starting to load but it freezes.

Most of the times, if I leave it there for a while, the game eventually is written to NOR, but with bigger games and roms with different checksums, it doesn't work sometimes.

I think something is up with your NOR.
Try formatting it and see if that works.
Go to the NOR page, click on a game, and select FORMAT.
If that doesn't help, then I think your cartridge is defective; every time I tried it works just fine.

Ok so my free EZ-Flash Omega DE has arrived, liking it so far.
I really hope that they continue the open-source trend.
The new cart is going to be a hard sell for people if this kernel can't be ported.

I'm excited to see your progress on the Definitive Edition!
Best wishes man!

One question, while using the simple theme (even the latest) I should not update to the 1.07, right? just keeping it at 1.06 by now

Thanks!
So as the simple theme is based on the 1.06, it's not possible to apply it to the 1.07 . thanks again!

Ok, thanks for the reply

I got the PogoShell stuff implemented on the definitive edition, just adding the rest of the stuff from this theme and there will be a public beta soon

 

[Sterophonick]

So I think that I am ready for a public beta of the port to the definitive edition!
Give it a shot and tell me what you guys think!

Good idea to make a thread of its own for this

Curious, why is that?
