Some quick concept code i wrote today.. basically following the idea of how the 3ds did it.

Adding a game to a folder will remove it from the dash and place it in the folder.. still mulling over the cleanest way to do this as far as code goes.. also trying to figure out the easiest way users could create folders and move games.. (for testing i just have shit hard coded to buttons for test lol..) but yea.. works as expected at least and folders can be put in folders. (and yes i fixed the thing that allowed you to put a folder inside itself lel)

Reminds me of a "webisode" (so not a full episode) of Doctor Who where he accidently parked the TARDIS inside the TARDIS. It was hilarious as he tried to figure out how to get himself back into normal space.

Off-topic: Yo @Reisyukaku, thank you very much for all your hard work!
You and @SciresM talking so professionally and respectfully about each others work is a real nice thing to see and it's making many people happy I think!

Back to topic:

[...]
I'm open to ideas and feedback btw.

  • One of the few things I like about my Android TV is this one feature where I can rearrange the installed apps by holding the Home-Button on one of those App-Icons, then all start to wiggle and I can rearrange them by sort of "drag-and-dropping" them.

Also, I THINK that it would be cool if:
  • When you create a folder and put the installed stuff in it (like games for instance), that that folder has a sort of list underneath it with the stuff installed and you don't have to "enter" the folder but simply "scroll down" through the list and are able to launch the games directly from there.

I'm not sure how easy those things are to implement, but since you asked for ideas :D

/edit: added bulletpoints to make the ideas easier to be read

Perhaps using the L/R buttons instead, to accommodate multi-row layouts. You could have A start the content and + expand the folder (or the other way around).

I would also like to add my own suggestion of pinning content (games, folders, etc) to the top of the list with different filters for sorting the rest of it (name, date used, etc). The pinned content would be arranged manually.

So, I've come up with a few ideas of mine and, just like someone before me, I thought I'd put the words into pictures.
Here goes nothing:

Here is my favourite: No folder per se, but simply the games that I want are stacked vertically and fade on top and on the bottom.
My idea is to, just as mentioned in my other post, hold A button on a title until they all wiggle and then you can drag the titles on one another to stack them.

The second version is with a folder where the title would be. When pressed, the "All Apps" screen gets blurred, showing only the folder and the titles inside.
I haven't thought about the visibility of the text next to the game, but perhaps every title should have text visible but the text should have the same opacity as the icon?

/EDIT: Maybe even some kind of zoom in/out animation when the folder opens? Or am I just getting too excited right now?

Last but not least, my first idea (which seems kind of uncool now seeing the other 2), where only a list of the games are shown under the folder (if only visible when scrolled over, or always visible, or other details, I don't know yet)

As of the possible implementation (if possible at all, how hard it would be) only Rei can tell. I hope you guys like my ideas!

PS:
I hope I didn't break any forum rules by uploading so many pictures in such a resolution :D


/EDIT2:
[...]also trying to figure out the easiest way users could create folders and move games.. [...]
How about binding it to the "-" button since (for me with unchanged button layout, hence "standard") that does the same as the "+" button when pressed over a title.
There you can choose whether:
  • Move to new folder
  • Move to existing folder
  • ...

Yea, last sunday in ReiSwitched i seen him asking how to compile the leaked shit.. He aint fooling anyone.. not to mention he forgot to remove the HB button kek.. or at least mask it as the controller config.

I asking about how to build exefs.nsp only, but not how to build Delta.
I don't use your code. I show my code in discord. Where you see Dletla's code? You are banned me in discord, for what?

I write app by myself.

Very nicely done! I like the first one as well, but the second one is probably a little bit better IMHO ;)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
