What in the ever living fuck? He just recreated GEMenu better as a theme hahaha! Why anybody would use GDEMenu after this even if they preferred the layout is beyond me. OpenMenu does what GDMenu don't. Now they can move on over to this and never look back.

I can't wait until we have a built in cheat menu, this murders GDMenu in ever way possible. I especially like how smooth it is when flipping through game cover art.

i almost made a release but i was secretly working on something that i thought would be good enough to wait for.

Thanks to the incredible effort of people who worked on the Metadata DB know you can filter games by genre

Looks fantastic MrNeo240 and even a skin for that one difficult person out there who preferred the look of stock GDEMU menu :D

Awesome release as always Mrneo.

Feedback:

- Pressing Y quits openmenu ATM and takes you back to DC original boot menu.

- Aspect ratio does not seem to work (ex I only get 3x3 covers to show)

- filter Function works great ! But I got a funny kind of error when I filtered on something I did not have (see screenshot under)

Would you prefer quit be on the options menu? Maybe keep it where it is but add a confirm?

Aspect ratio wasn't quite finished for public consumption, soon.

Thanks for breaking that, I'll fix and update.

Thank you for the continued appreciation and testing. Bear with me as things are growing.

That's up to you :) I think if you gonna keep it at the "y" button ,a confirm is good.
