Well im a collector and a huge SEGA fan aswell.. But to be honest before jasper startet to release his cfw i didnt mind about the flashback hd.. simply because the quality is low.. now its time to correct the stuff atgames made wrong :-)..

Mad props to Hekel!

he pretty much turned my messy install into a one click affair!

get ready for initial release guys! Replacement dashboard release inbound!

also i hear you guys, i will be adding atleast some self skinning options to my dash soon. not a terribly skilled coder but i will try to make something that people can make use of in terms of prettying it up!

Haha nice :-). I created an uninstaller aswell, now ist easy to deinstall it if someone wants to turn back. I had the same Problem as you have with retroarch.. as retroarch is launching above the ordenary dashbord.. i could fix that but normaly you dont have a cfw installed.. this is only cause we uses jasper release.. if someone makes a Flash from stock theres no Need to tweak anything on my installer.

WD_Gaster · Jan 11, 2018

also just a heads up!
the original launcher and retroarch can be launched from my app. just go to the app drawer button and go from there

Got an idea how to fix this Problem.. should i fix it? it just kills the selflaunch of retroarch but will Keep it installed. so no effect on useage.

the good thing is we can still launch retroarch from the app drawer of my launcher. also a note to everyone else reading the thread, this only affects you if you are using asper's cfw. However like Hekel said im sure there can be a tweak that can be done to it to solve this issue.
@Hekel if you can fix this in an optional batch, file please by all means, you sir an MVP!

Hekel · Jan 11, 2018

Fixed, now retroarch shouldnt Launch anymore.

Proof-of-Concept video. It shows my Dashboard changer:

WD_Gaster · Jan 11, 2018

wow.

crazy day all around today. lots of developments, wouldn't you say?

Hekel · Jan 11, 2018

Theres a lot more :-D but at Moment i had to clean my Desktop.. but in about 10 minit i will provide a Video with my work in Progress.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

This might be usefull for some of you: I made a Little script, it removes the stock games from the internal Flash. This gives us some freespace (about 60MB) for lets say.. xD better stuff..

No worry if you wanna reload them into the System theres a Re-Installer. Before the Games will be deleted from the System the scripts dump them to youre PC. Some Feedback would be welcome.

Works good. good work

a bit slow on this, but i can confirm the game remover script is working properly on my unit as well.

also i have a question for you guys to those of you that got my dash, do any of you have a 4gb unit? and if so is it reflecting as such in the system information screen? (bottom right button with the "i" symbol)
my guess is that its reflecting 1900+mb as available or so right?
on my 2gb unit it shows 800mb which makes sense since we only get 1 gb for the sd card partition.

thanks

Thats pretty cool, but more interesting would be if we can change the emulator to md.emu or probably can replace the launch strings, so we would be able to use any emulator we want. This would open the possibility to add 32x, MEGA cd, SEGA cd.

I've already done that. I can launch MD.EMU directly from the launcher, it's the same job as you've done, edit the decompiled classes.dex. I can run Genesis and SMS games when they are compressed as .7z. Unfortunately I couldn't launch a SegaCD game from the launcher, but I could load it using "am start". I don't think it worth sharing this modified launcher as my Genesis Flashback HD is the .obb version and messing with the launcher can 'brick' the console.
Now I'm trying to build MD.EMU with the key mapping from the Genesis Flashback HD. I already found the files and remapped them, but build it tricky as the source is near impossible to be compiled. I could compile the "imagine" and "EmuFramework" but it's failing to compile the emulator itself. I will try to do that on the weekend but I'm not sure if it will work. If I have any progress I will share with you all.
