NEW: cfg v29b: (beta)

http://sharebee.com/e9b93d0c

Changes:

- Theme support (See README-CFG.txt for details on how to create themes)
- option: theme = Theme_Name
Load a specified theme from sd:/usb-loader/themes/Theme_Name/theme.txt
- Runtime theme change from the options menu
- removed obsolete option: buttons=ultimate

I edited config.txt and put it in my apps/usbloader/ folder
CODEtheme = cfg_default, cfg_3D, cfg_Simple, cfg_White, cfg_White_3D, cfg_White_Simple, Console_Only
But, nothing happened.
Option menu says - theme : 0/0
Could you tell me how to edit?

And I want to change the themes base folder to other folder.
How can I change the base themes folder?

Let me know... oggzee

NEW: cfg v29:

http://sharebee.com/ab8a78e4

- option: theme = Theme_Name
Load a specified theme from sd:/usb-loader/themes/Theme_Name/theme.txt
- Runtime theme change from the options menu
- Fixed mp3 stuttering
- Now mp3 plays fine also while installing a new game.
- Faster loading of game covers and scrolling through the game list
- Now it works fast also with large (1000+) collection of covers in same directory
- Fixed: searching for music.mp3 if base directory is not sd:/usb-loader
- removed obsolete option: buttons=ultimate

(note: changed since the beta is just a minor improvement in theme switching speed)

The option theme does not accept a list but a single theme name.
If you don't want to use sd:/usb-loader/ dir then just move the themes dir from /usb-loader/themes to /apps/usbloader/themes

I checked it.
When my config.txt file is in apps/usbloader/ folder, the loader cannot recognize the themes in usb-loader/themes/ folder.
But it recognize the themes in apps/usbloader/ folder.

And I need to edit all again, config.txt and theme.txt files for proper work.

This theme option is really awesome. Thanks oggzee.

And if you think the options for selecting mp3 in loader, selecting cover image style in loader and selecting cover file image length in config.txt.
That would be awesome again..

I like this one just because I like modifying .conf files. It has just enough features I want and little else. I just don't care for fancy cover galleries or disc slideshows.

In v29 I get garbled graphics in the lower area of the screen when running 576i, in the previous versions this area was just black.

Hmm and in v29b it was fine?
Can you make a screenshot and send it to me?

EDIT: ok, no need, I can confirm the problem, will be fixed in a moment.

can you maybe add this option too?:
mark you favorite games (to show on the top of the list)

It's already possible to do this with the option pref_game = ...
But, you probably mean from inside the loader?
Maybe one day

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles

    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
