You can do it however you want. The best way would be just have all the programs ready in the zip/rar files and wait until your SD arrives, then have a play.

GMenu2X will go on the root of the SD card unless you want it on the NAND.

I'd sort everything into relevant folders on the SD like /mnt/sd/emulators/snes/
/mnt/sd/games/Noiz2sa/
etc

yeh but how do u set gmenu2x up, dont u put it into the sections?

 

[PokeParadox]

you arrange your stuff however you want to. Just put GMenu2X on the root of the card.
You add "links" to the programs using the select button in GMenu2X.

File autorun.gpu and the directory gmenu2x should be at the root of your sd card.

yeh i done this now, but i running out of room on me sd card

I have the gmenu2x application, icons, links, etc on the Nand memory and a tweaked autorun.gpu on each of my sd cards. Gmenu2x is smart enough to hide links that don't exist.
This way you only need one install of the app, one set of icons to maintain, etc no matter how many sd cards you end up with

I've done a similar thing, but I've got the autorun.gpu on the NAND too. I've set up the option in the settings menu to automount the NAND on boot. So gmenu2x runs whether or not there's an SD card inserted - which is only really useful if there's other stuff on the NAND too. I don't have anything else there yet, but this seemed a neater way of doing it, especially since I own Payback and Vektar commercial games, so didn't really want to cause the copy-control to kick off on those.

Cheers,
Alyn.

meh gpmenu is a pain in the arse
just sat there and set up 100 links and now had to reformat the card
even lost all my downloaded homebrew games and emu's took me 1-2 hours
lost all
anyway i can download every homebrew game at once? because takes long time unzipping them 1 by 1

:lol: Sometimes it's smart to backup your SD data to your harddrive before formatting...

Gmenu2x is very useful for easy access and easy over/under clocking of specific apps. Don't let your own mistake alter your perception of it

 

[freddykreuger666]

so if i used the gmenu2x over/clocking feature, and go into say, picodrive, will it still be overclocked?

Propably not, because PicoDrive already has a built-in clockspeed setting, but for games like Quake, you can press volume buttons when the link is highlighted to change the startup clockspeed.
