I have a few issues after using it.

For some reason, the VMU Icon preview isn't showing up for me, it's just a blank white window:


Also, after selecting the theme, do you have to manually change the font colors yourself to match the theme preview?
Whenever I apply a theme, it seems to default to the original GDmenu font and colors and doesn't match the font color in the theme previews.

I tried running it as administrator, but it doesn't seem to have cleared up the problems.

also yes you have to manually choose the font color you want, the previous font colors are basically there as a suggestion of what looks good

I'm using Windows 10.

Is it not compatible?

Also, I can't seem to apply custom font colors. Even though I set the color and apply, when testing on the dreamcast, the colors are still the default colors.

Applying the preset colors seem to work fine, but custom made preset ones don't.

give that a try and see how you get on, also windows 10 is fine providing you have .net framework 4.8

It doesn't seem to work properly. When applying custom font color presets and applying it to gdmenu, it just causes black screen after the boot intro on the dreamcast console.

If I apply any of the already made preset font colors, gdmenu works normally and doesn't black screen.

Also, I already have .net framwork 4.8 installed, but the vmu preview pics don't show properly.
I tried it on my Windows 11 machine and I see the vmu pics there normally, so I'm guessing it's another incompatibility somewhere with Win10.

I tried applying custom font colors on the Win11 machine, but it still black screens when loading up on the console.
Maybe custom font colors causes a bug that causes it to black screen on console?

• I believe i've fixed an issue with it not moving the altered 1ST_READ.BIN over when it should resulting in gdmenu not being built correctly and causing a black screen.
  Updated GDMENU Card Manager to v2.0.1
  Updated OpenMenu box art thanks to dubcity.
  Added a software updater which will make it much easier to stay upto date in the future.
