ROM Hack Idea...Iphone Menu For DS

[spanner]

I have a idea but i need help if anyone can..

I want to make a menu like the iphone but working with shortcuts to.nds files

If you what to add your apps to it (like a calculator or something)you can,maybe we could make this a work together project.

So what i need is to make a background for the image then the buttons and skin them,have links to them to the file system on the card so when you click on one with the stylist it boots the .nds file up..?

I don't know anything about C++ but i am willing to learn..
I have Palib,devkitpro and VC++..

Here is a pic of what i would like it to look like..

Please help..

This could work but whats the point? I mean really. If you already have a M3,R4,Cyclo, thats enough of a menu. Will be cool but no use for it.

I think I know someone who might help you: spinal... I contacted him via gbadev.org so let's see if he will reply to this thread... if not then I will post his reply here

[spanner]

Palib forum

Not sure about DLDI surport..i Use it with DSOrganize,I tried booting it on it own and it didn't work...

 

[pasc]

I got it... but I don't quite get how it works, it seems quite strange to me

 

[monaug5]

Its a waste of time because Bootloaders are already present.

From Spinal

"The .ini file should be straight forward, each icon has an X and Y coordinate and a size. Also each icon has a path. Just look in the .ini file to check. I have allowed up to 20 icons and cheated a bit by just using a single background image."


Here is a picture of mine but i have changed the background image,I think it looks better this way..

i have an r4. is there a way to boot this and NOT go into the R4 menu? and the calendars, sketch icons really work?

 

[JDMEVOIXMR]

Can somebody upload it again?
palib.info is down...

 

[Dylan]

Yeah it looks good but can you really be bothered if it has no real important purpose?

WTF I booted it on acekard rog and it does nothing, why is any sense of that.

edit
I read on palib forum that you have to edit (i think ini file) and write a patch of what icon boot what thing, it is stupid really for iphone fanboys only.

Hey guys. Been trolling your boards and decided to register b/c I wanted to share this.

A guy has already made iPhone icons for DSO. Problem solved! Hope this helps.
