Here's the menu that I'm using for the Sandman demo disc.
http://dreamon.cyberdogcastle.com/menuupdate.zip
You can have as little as one game on the disc, or as many as 15. The menu is stupid right now, so it only accepts data in a specific name. The menu scrolls left and right. Unlike Dream Inducer, the menu can start a game with either A or start. It can play an ogg music file, but it is not required. It can also display blinking arrows to let the user know that the menu is moving left or right (this is a cheat. the blinking arrows are images - ex: game01left.png and game01right.png). The menu expects all images to be 640x480 PNGs. If you don't want to use the arrows, or you don't want menu music, just leave them off the disc. The menu checks to see if any of the files are present on the disc. If they aren't it ignores them.
The layout is now as follows:
/games/game01.bin
/games/game02.bin
/games/game03.bin
/games/game04.bin
/games/game05.bin
/games/game06.bin
