Gmenu2x V0.2 Released

[ryosaeba]

My bad, you are right "icons/squidgesnes.png", I don't understand why it doesn't work. The only possible reason is that it's not a valid png image.

No compilation, just plain text files. I don't know the applications for mac. The only hint I can give you is to search for a "unix line endings" option.

I personally always create them in linux, but I had to create them from windows when I installed it on a friend's gp2x and I used EmEditor (http://www.emeditor.com) or you can use Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org) as others suggested.

Ryo,

How about my question? How do you set the order that the section icons are displayed?

Thanks for everything.

Ryo,

Thanks for everything.

At the moment they are in alphabetical order. The links are in the order they are read from the filesystem (in some manner related to the file creation date).
I'll think of something to rearrange the order...

I use the ordinary notepad (textredigerare på svenska) on my mac and that does it perfect!

Im really frusterated

Maybe it's line-endings for you too...
I'll look if I can let gmenu2x "eat" them in next release.

Impressive work Mr. Ryo B)

I think I figured out why my SNESGP2X link wasn't working. It had DOS line endings. This link isn't working still, however...

title=RACE!
description=NeoGeo Pocket Color emulator
icon=icons/neogeopocket.png
exec=/mnt/sd/emulators/race/race.gpe

hmm. Not sure what that means exactly (im not very linux saavy). Is there a way to test, or try another type of line ending?

Also, can anyone on here provide me with a nice icon i can use for the "emulator" section I made? i have trouble making these kind of decisions

 

[Paradox]

anyone know why im getting just a black screen when im loading it?

 

[ryosaeba]

@daclassicgamingmaster: Unix saves and reads text files with a character called "Line feed" (\n) to separate lines.
Windows/Dos instead uses 2 characters "Carriage Return" (\r) + "Line feed" and that sometimes causes problems.
The solution is to create the links with an editor capable of saving file with just "line feeds" at the of lines like unix does.

@Paradox: From the moment you posted that, another version has been released. Are you sure you are using version 0.2.1? that bug should have been fixed.

I made a section for emulators too, and had a browse through the Nuvola icon set for something appropriate, as some of the icons Ryo supplies are taken from it.

I couldn't really find an icon that said 'emulators' to me, so I settled on this cat.

Aww!

 

[Magnulus]

Cute!

 

[TelcoLou]

Here's what I used, also from that Nuvola Icon pack:

For the Handheld Emulators:

For the Consoles/PC emus:

For Homebrew:

Looks like that controller you provided will have to cut it for me, as nothing else seems as appropriate. Thanks Lou.

@Ryo: If I use programmer's notepad, can I solve the potential issue I'm having? If so, how do I do it and what do I select?

It's easy to set up, just open/create/edit your file as you like, then go to Tools > line endings > Unix(LF)
Tada!

how do you change line endings in programmers notepad?
