So tomorrow there should be a release that saves to vmu and holds your preferred theme + region + aspect
Been thinking the same but did not want to stress you :)

Buuut , while speaking of even more great things to implement how about this:

"Let the Vmu display show you available empty blocks."

Eliminates the big question every time I'll start a new game if there is enough space to save.

I like this idea and it gives me reason to change/fix two things in the code. I doubt it'll be today though. I've not actually ever displayed something on the vmu so I gotta see how to do that.

Really nice , I prefer it with the dark BG. Very clean , I like that the "logo" reminds about the Dreamcast logo

Some people were asking about transparent images so they can do pseudo 3d things and such.

So that's now available

Wow the amount of work you have done on this menu is amazing neo, damn bro great job!

Quick question. Not sure if this has been asked already I am still semi-away from the community until my Battlefield mod is finished. But I wanted to know if you have ever thought of, or anybody else has brought up asking if there will be an ability to have music in the menu? Perhaps have a nice calm music theme playing something like how the Dreamcast boot chime is really surreal and dreamlike. I mean it could be cool if you also allowed us to customize the menu with our own background music? I think it would be cooler than just being super silent. Or have you planned sound effects when browsing through the list?

You could prolly use dan's s3m driver as it would run complete on the acia and not effect any speed or loading runs complete on the acia so no mixing or cpu time..


There is many great s3m tracks to use for something like this..
