bluebird, I'm really starting to dig your loader. It's pretty close to the concept I posted earlier...shoulda read your post first I suppose lol. The only difference was I was going to incorporate a whole host of database-driven game details, including ESRB Rating and Parental Controls, Screenshots, Game Site Review, Required Peripherals, etc. Here's a mockup of the GUI layout I designed. I'd be happy to collaborate with you on creating a game database and a new GUI for yours.

There is just too much going on, on that mock up for me.

I like to see the box-art image. and which button to scroll ... and start a game. Anymore is just cluttering in my opinion. (For the kids, they see a picture, and "Press "A" to start the game" Anymore, will not be useful to a 10 year old

But, we all have different likes and dislikes I guess

So... will someone please compile this loader without the Child-Proof restrictions?

I like this idea, but I'm not a child, so I still want to add games from the interface! =)

Thanks!

All of that in 1 loader would be awesome. There are just so many different loaders out now, it's difficult to keep up.

Yeah all in 1 loader would be some nice "spring cleaning" but maybe have a non childproof version along with a childproof or something...
This sounds great. It would be perfect for most people.
 
UPDATE

-Increase the list of games displayed on one page
- Force NTSC
- Force PAL
- Use TV's default setting
- Child Features (No install, format, delete, etc).
- No Confirmation text, just boot straight into game
- Load background png from SD card
- And of course, now load game banners from SD card

- Ocarina Support
- Waiting time to init drive; increase computability.
- And i think Diggity is working on a "Press 1 for Force Pal and 2 for Force NTS

Please Note: This is NOT my work. Do NOT credit me with this. This is usptactical's gui setup!!! I am just adding features from other peoples (so far sorg and m-tek) patches.

I'll edit my reply with a download of so far what I did.

you rock! I really appreciate you making a separate d/l for the extras you're adding. It makes copying them over less painfull (overwriting/not overwriting). I'm sure eventually they'll all be in the same rar though

So, bluebird... If you've added these features, are you able to remove them too?

QUOTE(icpmattj @ Apr 7 2009, 11:09 PM) What exactly does the force ntsc and force pal features do?
Forces the game to play in the "forced" regional setting.

Can anyone help me out? I have no clue what loading game banners from sd card means. Does it make you a banner when you install a game to the hdd? Oh and thank you bluebird and kosaic for all the hard work.

True about the kids Kosaic, but at the same time, adults who have no idea what a particular game is about could flip to Info view and see screenshots, reviews, the works.

Here is a concept of the fade-wipe screens

 
Yes I can remove the features, i plan on removing the child stuff
"loading game banners from sd card" That's the entire point of usp's patches. u put in a png image of the game banner, properly labeled, and when u go over it it shows up.

To DinoFanO1: Game banners is the same as game cover art. Shows what it looks like if you had the game case.
