ATTENTION:
If you use gameblabla's Useless CFW, download the release built with musl.
If you use Steward-fu's 97Next CFW, download the release built with uclibc.
## Highlights
**2018.09.16** (*Codename: No more tears (AKA: My work is done here).*)
* Renamed fork to GMenuNX;
* New gridded menu layout:
* Allow to customize number of rows and columns in settings;

* Do not hardlink icon and manual when adding a new link;
* Properly detect TV out on boot;

* (Try to) Fix SD card mounting mess introduced in Useless CFW;

* Assert '..' directory is the first in list;

How to add previews/screenshots/boxart (the simple way):
1. Edit link and set a path to "Selector Directory"
2. Drop an image file (jpg or png) with the exact same name as the rom file with no extension, in the same directory as rom file.
It will automatically show the preview when you select the rom file.
Complete way, with more details and scrapper utilities, check the excellent manual by @m1024:

How to add rom name aliases:
1. Edit link
2. Select a path for Selector Directory
3. In Selector Aliases, select a .txt file containing the original file name (no extension) and the name to be shown in file selector.
E.g.:
nam1975=NAM-1975
bstars=Baseball Stars Professional
tpgolf=Top Player's Golf
...
Attached follows aliases with commom names for FBA, Mame and NeoGeo game files.

Hi,can someone please tell me the max resolution of the selector screenshots tanks and i canot open the alias file ".zip.txt " ???
-
Supposed to be only .zip, not .zip.txt

Hi,can someone please tell me the max resolution of the selector screenshots
The size can change due to skin settings. Anyway, pick a 128x128px and it's ok.
i canot open the alias file ".zip.txt " ???
Dingoonity no not allow to upload .zip files. Just rename the .zip.txt to .zip and you will be able to extract it.

Hi. I'd just like to ask about the plausibility of porting this (or the 'vanilla' GMenu2X) to the Pap K3 Plus, as its stock GUI is crap. Thanks

Hi, is there any way to get this working on the new RetroFW? I just get a black screen when ever I try to install it. I would really like to get it working so I can get the boxarts for my games.

RetroFW uses GMenuNX by default.
If you want to update, just download the latest gmenu.ipk in repository:

Sorry, I don't own a K3P Plus, so I can't do the work by myself.
Anyway, gmenu2x source code is available for anyone who's willing to try. ;)

Hi Pingflood are your latest releases here for the RetroFW

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll fix that in the next version.

I just found a cool trick with the file "input.conf". My PAP Gameta 2 console has broken power button, so I open "input.conf" using Glutexto, change the line
power=keyboard,279 to power=keyboard,49 and it was mapped to "volume down" button instead, but only on GMenuNX :)
This will not work when the device completely turn off.

Hi pingflood，I found that the last problem has been solved, thank you very much!I made a theme because of interest, but one question is whether the wallpaper in the folder can be set separately. Instead of sharing wallpaper with the home page. If you share wallpaper, it will look bad because the text and wallpaper are mixed. If I can set the wallpaper separately, the theme will be perfect! Thank you again for developing such a wonderful Gmenu2x.

This is the theme I made, based on other themes.The homepage looks great, but the pages in the folder are a bit dazzling.I really want to solve this problem :'(

Was just about to look for a place where GMenuNX issues can be reported, as that is what comes loaded on the new BittBoy:
- the pcsx rearmed emulator locks up when trying to enter options/display
- the about/uptime counter not working or displaying garbage
- the date & time display under settings doesn't work, shows the same date and time forever
Build date says Mar.6. 2019.

Hi @simpleasy, you can't set multiple wallpaers, but you can set different backdrops for each emulator.
Just add a file in "backdrops/appname.png" (just like you do with the icons), then enable the skin backdrops option.

@pingflood,thank you for your reply! I have set up different backdrops for each emulator.because I can set the backdrops, so the idea can be achieved.please see the attached picture. it there is a drawback that some confusion in folder.if I can set the wallpapers on the homepage and folders separately, it would be perfect. I hope to add such a function, thank you.
by the way,In the folder "backdrops/appname_result.png" What is the role?

Now I see what you are doing. You are using the backdrops in lieu of icons, right? Well, that's a really unexpected use of backdrops.. :-[
I don't plan to add another function to customize multiple wallpapers, but thinking in your case, maybe I can add a new option that could help:
Selecting where to use the backdrops: Main menu & Selector, Selector Only or Main Menu Only, it could help?
