    Nice video. Just so everyone knows: it's possible to add as many consoles as you would like to each section group. I add all the emulators I use into one. Then there's no switching between section groups (this should be optional)...which is annoying and not less simple than something like a retroarch frontend.
    Just edit the section groups to include all the emulators you want on one section.

    GREAT VIDEO MashTec - Detailed, simple to follow.... Keep it up my friend.
    It will be interesting to try a few things
    1) Various boxart sizes - I have converted boxarts in to lots of sizes - Will Simplemenu resize the images over 320x240 to fit the screen ?
    2) Will this support multiple image types not just PNG (AJPG is what I would like to test at fullscreen)
    3) Frontend Boot Animation with sound like one of the previous frontends (Like Esoteric)

    Many many thanks for your work, i've tried and everything works just fine.
    Only one question: when i get in full screen mode with Simple Menu, i have a black-coloured background behind the cover of the game: there's a way to change it putting another image in its place?

      Hey dude, greetings back from Germany :)
      What device did you apply it to?
      If the default images don‘t fir to the screen resolution of your device, you could exchange the image in the simple menu folder by a version that fits your resolution. May also be in the theme, i need to look it up.

    • @MashTec
      @MashTec  4 роки тому +1

      Hey dude,
      never faced that problem on my device. But maybe it can‘t handle some ROM names. Sometimes these frontends have problem with special characters in ROM names like: é, ê, ^ for example. Check for rom names with non-asccii characters in their name and rename them. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

    It's frustrating trying to get this to work on the RG300. I have it installed fine on my RG350. Initially setup on the RG300 goes well but as soon as you setup an ini file then relaunch I get thrown back to the stock menu. last_state.sav has been deleted as per the installation instructions. I'm completely out of ideas.

    hey Mashtec, Let me know when you drop this on the PG2 - I have a MiYoo Max Versionof PG2 but cannot get this running on Rogue CFW 1.0.5 - When attempting to launch the "Simple Menu" icon it doesn't boot. There is a just a quick flash then nothing happens.
    I tried the following to fix it:
    1) Redownload the "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" file in case it was corrupt.
    2) Deleted al partions on the Micro SD then formated the Micro SD and done a clean install of the CFW1.0.5 adding only "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" and the default apps included with Rogue CFW1.0.5
    3) Followed all steps above using previous version of Rogue CFW v1.0.4
    4Tried another Micro SD Card
    Any Idea's?

    Hey MashTec, I have a question about adding the subfolders to the ROMS directory. Example below for SNES ROMS -
    1 Licensed which also contains sub folders "1 - E" "F - N" "O - S" "T - Z"
    However the SNES folder also has other sub Folders. "2 Japanese" "3 Translated" "4 Lightgun" "5 Rom Mods"
    I am not sure if / how this would be added to the "Consoles.ini"
    Do they need a "/" or just a "," - romDirs = /media/sdcard/ROMS/SNES,1 Licensed,1 - E,F - N,O - S,T - Z,2 Japanese,3 Translated,4 Lightgun
    Should I Move the folders in "1 Licenced" to the "SNES" root rename them "Licensed 1 - E" "Licensed F - N" "Licensed O - S" "Licensed T - Z" ?
    What do you think is the best way to approach this problem ?
    Finally, can the folders in SNES have a dedicated artwork File ? Sorry about all the questions... I am sure lots of people like a stuctured ROMS folder to make it easier to navigate :)
    Many Thanks

      for point 1: I can recommend you a tool called "Bulk Rename Utility". It does the job for you ;)
      for point 2: What emulator did you try? Normaly, it should start the game directly. Not all emulators support this option, so have to choose your game again from a list.

      Hi Mark,
      you need to install the USB driver if you like to copy files directly between your PC and your device.
      If you don't have the drivers, there is still a way to transfer files:
      Take a micro-sdcard and copy your data to it from your PC side.
      Then, put that card into the PG2 external sd-card slot.
      If you need to transfer data to the internal sd-card, just open DinguxCmdr and transfer it from your external sdcard over to your internal sdcard.
      I hope that helps.

    ps: die console.ini und handheld.ini habe ich eben zum 20.mal nach fehlern durchsucht und kann keine finden.

      Yes, the Recallbox setting fits the best for EmulatioStation.
      Since the RG350 has a screen resolution of 320x240 i recommend you to choose 160x120 (max.). It's enough... for the beste load times of the images and image size.

    1) Redownload the "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" file in case it was corrupt.
    2) Deleted al partions on the Micro SD then formated the Micro SD and done a clean install of the CFW1.0.5 adding only "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" and the default apps included with Rogue CFW1.0.5

      Hi Kev, thanks for all the investigation here. I don‘t own a PG2 myself, so unfortunately i can‘t really test it.
      I guess the tutorial doesn‘t differ for all the systems i listet in the title as long as SimpleMenu is running on your device.
      Seems like the same problem we have with SM running on the RG350 stock fw.
      I guess this is something the developer can solve only. I investigated into this problem too on my RG350.
      You can try to run it with 'strace' active and see if you find a hint with it:
      1. Login with a terminal to your PG2
      2. change to the directory where your .opk file is located
      3. strace opkrun ./SimpleMenu-PG2.opk

    hey Mashtec, Let me know when you drop this on the PG2 - I have a MiYoo Max Versionof PG2 but cannot get this running on Rogue CFW 1.0.5 - When attempting to launch the "Simple Menu" icon it doesn't boot. There is a just a quick flash then nothing happens.
    I tried the following to fix it:
    1) Redownload the "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" file in case it was corrupt.
    2) Deleted al partions on the Micro SD then formated the Micro SD and done a clean install of the CFW1.0.5 adding only "SimpleMenu-PG2.opk" and the default apps included with Rogue CFW1.0.5
    3) Followed all steps above using previous version of Rogue CFW v1.0.4
    4Tried another Micro SD Card
    Any Idea's?
    Thanks
    Kev

      I had the same issue, get the new 5.6.1 version, it works fine now. (I posted the issue on GitHub and the dev worked out the issue)
