MENUdo [Coffee Sabaw Demo] - PS3 XMB for DS

***wraggster*** · August 20th, 2008, 20:36

Soulanger has posted an entry into the Neoflash Compo:

Best way to describe it is by looking at the video. Basically it massively beautifies your Cart's gui, with an PS3 theme as a default gui.

How to customize the menu.

The full customization relies on the ini.
There are two ways of editing via notepad or Menudo Assistant. This tutorial helps explain the functions.
Open up system_theme.ini. The ini is somehow similar to an html, honestly it feels like a scripting language to me.

Menu0runs = fat:/TTMENU.nds
If you press A while on Goto Original Menu (Menu0) it would run:
fat:/TTMENU.nds

You can also change it make it to view a folder by linking it with the folder instead.

Menu7runs = games
When you run Menu6Runs(Games) it explores the games folder.

There are also special functions like:
gba - loads slot2
power - powers off

to use it just add it after the Menu(X)runs =
like so:
Menu8runs = power

Misc Stuffs:

You can speed up the animation by holding the B button while navigating.

To open a file via stylus slide the name towards to the left.

You can hold the buttons in directions before you power on your ds to do autorun runs.
Ini Example:
startupUP = fat:/TTMENU.nds
startupDOWN = games
startupLEFT = fat:/Halo_ds.nds
startupRIGHT= fat:/beup.nds
It uses the same style with the menu(X)runs.

If you can load any homebrews, try changing the ini:
//auto
//Chishm's DLDI Loader
//M3 Internal Loader
//GBAMP Internal Loader
//EZ-Flash IV (4) Internal Loader
//SuperCard Internal Loader

NDSloader = 0
the 0 variable runs auto detection.

The complexity of the customization would make it flexible.
Sorry but this demo is very unuserfriendly.
Make sure you extract all to root then dldi. I just noticed this version is very complicated but still I Hope you guys would enjoy.

I totally agree, this is totally unuasable, and even worse, I use a DS Phat and this app always shuts the backlight down.

I apologize for those who are all disapointed.
I know that this version is very unuser friendly.
This is still a demo, though.

Don't listen to the negativity, thank you for your work. Like I said this looks very good and for a first release it is great. It shows how slick this homebrew could be.
You have worked and given something on your own time and I think most people appreciate that.
Thanks again.

For a demo, I found it wasn't bad at all. I actually liked how fluid the menu is. I agree there is definitely some work to be done, but it is heading to be a great homebrew menu

I cannot believe that Soulanger made something everybody wants. AND released it early, because everybody wanted him to. But you guys are still dissapointed. Give the guy some time.
