Hi guys! 
Many of you from the GP2X era will know the popular menu GMenu2x. It was originally planned as the default launcher interface as an alternative to full-desktop.
There were some problems (I don't remember what) and basically all effort to get it working nicely on Pandora was abandoned. Ryo has even removed the WIP Pandora code from the current repo.
In any case I have been hacking around the source and managed to write some code that can read the .desktop files that the PND system creates and use those to launch the actual apps. This kinda works but What I'm actually going for are the following features...
The GPE files feature, is probably just malformed commandline. The issues with NotazSDL is that after running an app with it... everything else tries to use it... Finally for some reason the Scanner is not working... I have to add links manually..
To cut to the chase I'm wondering if anyone would still be interested in GMenu2X? I'm also wondering if anyone would like to help me work out these issues and get it to a user-friendly state?

- Ability to add GPE files to the menu and have them launch automatically with GINGE (currently not working)
- The ability to toggle NotaZ SDL for a Pandora app for VSync and scaling benefits (working with some issues.)
