Senor Quack said:Just FYI for the threadgoers here, EvilDragon has sent me a Wiz to use for porting Open2X to the Wiz, which would include integrating GMenu2X. A lot of people here might not be aware of this, but GMenu2X is integrated into the NAND/OS in Open2X for the GP2X and is very customized and loads extremely quickly on this platform. I have no idea why noone has made GMenu2X better on the Wiz but rest assured I know the source code of it very well and will eventually get to porting Open2X to the Wiz. I won't have time to do it for another 6-7 months however.
Holy crap, that's GREAT news!Senor Quack said:Just FYI for the threadgoers here, EvilDragon has sent me a Wiz to use for porting Open2X to the Wiz, which would include integrating GMenu2X.

Well not much we can do about that other than hack the gp2xmenu binary into a script that launched gmenu2xDaveC said:Well the previous problem is that when you exit an app it dumps out to the Wiz stock menu. This kind of made Gmenu2X useless as it was only good to load one app.
the "autorun" part didn't work.
DaveC said:Also it took like 30 seconds to load Gmenu2X. That added to the regular boot up time made booting the Wiz with Gmenu2X slower than a Windows PC. I am not sure why Gmenu2X took so long to boot on a Wiz when it only took a few seconds on an old GP2X. Why so much slower?
I think that must be a bug which only appears on some Wiz' (what's the plural of Wiz?). At my Wiz it starts in a few seconds and I got about 20 games and 5 emulators.DaveC said:Also it took like 30 seconds to load Gmenu2X.
