What's new

  • Many, many, bugs fixed.
  • Added a waiting text to the first boot, so people don't wonder what's going on
  • Brought the Bittboy version up to date

Important notes!!!

Instructions for a fresh install:

  • OD/OD-BETA: copy the OPK to /media/data/apps or /media/sdcard/apps
  • RFW:
    • copy the OPK to /home/retrofw/apps
    • reboot before running it for the first time
  • Bittboy:
    • unzip the zip file inside the apps folder of the "main" partition.
    • create a link to the executable file "simplemenu" in gmenu2x
  • Run the menu once
  • Check the different section groups and sections
  • Exit the menu
  • If you want to modify the different sections (emulators, rom directories, etc.) open the /home/.simplemenu folder on your PC and modify the section group ini files under /home/.simplemenu/section_groups
  • Delete .simplemenu/last_state.sav
  • Launch it again

Known issues

  • The first time it's loaded after a clean install, the section shown when the "Arcades" group is selected may not display the background correctly. Switching to a different section group and going back fixes it forever. Currently looking into it.

Pending

  • Battery measurement not implemented in RFW
  • Still need work on a better battery algorithm.
  • GMenu2x shortcuts transformed to FGL, that include parameters (like the "Terminal" app), won't work, yet.
