Re: openMenu Alpha 1
Ok, this is a MUCH better looking menu than the made-in-garage GDEMU menu.
My GDEMU takes a lot to load the menu because the high number of games inside it, I would be happy if Openmenu takes just the same time to load.
How to install it?
Grid view moves very fast!

Re: openMenu Alpha 1
Ok, found the instructions on the first post.
Right now, all my games are in cdi format, so I hope some day CDI is supported too because I like this menu much more, and if you say it is instant, then is unbeatable

Re: openMenu Alpha 1
I just did a quick run through with this and really liked it. After adding a few games I tested the card - cover art in the menu did not match the game listed. I put the card back in the PC and relaunched the program. I added two more games (all gdi - did not try the shrink method), manually re-ordered the list and finished the card. All worked well, with proper art showing up per game. This is excellent! It even worked on a PC that the will not run the latest MadSheep tool.
