Did another round of small fixes:
- fixed vmu beep issues
- added settings option for beep
- minor drawing changes for the credits+settings menu
- made the Grid3 UI aspect aware publically, started on LineDesc
- fixed weird issues with garbage items showing up
- fixed empty filtered lists
- fixed grammar for vmu blocks
- fixed missing boxart for some specific titles

to be done before release:
- make LineDesc aspect aware
- add confirm to exit, also potentially add to options menu
- think about adding instructions inside the app itself
- possible more fixes as reports come in (please let me know when things are broken!)

The feature we all wanted and never thought was possible!

About D2 , is it possible to use the switch button on the gdemu "in-game" to change disc when prompted ? I have tried but with no luck (images are folder ex 03 04 05 06)

I do have a clone gdemu that works flawless otherwise btw if that makes any difference.

And yes again, a great addition MrNeo please continue with your fine work , I'll buy you a new cup of coffe @ https://ko-fi.com/haydenkow after Jap games (most played) are implemented

I believe it's just hit or miss whether the clones have working buttons

I've started working on popular Japanese games, and applications from any region.

What do you personally have on your card that is an application or a jap region game?

write to GDEMU.ini
open_time = 2000
detect_time = 2000

I think all of the games (about 35-40?) I wrote synopsis for in the document will be a good start. On vacation atm and don't have the computer here (but my Dreamcast is with me!) That's like all shmups, cosmic smash etc.

About applications or indie games , is there any way to make open menu recognize them if they don't have an game id ? Is it possible to add that in some way for ppl not experienced in development . What I'm thinking is if there is a way to "open" a CDI , modify 1st bin or something like that to something that openmenu will be able to read ?

I understand that might be a hard thing to do , but it would be really cool to have the possibility if one can change a image to be recognized.

That way you could have a list in faq/info.txt with openmenu that tells the user id1= nes emulator

If user then modifies the CDI with a id1 tag then openmenu will recognize it and put a cover to that image , cover don't have to state what emulator just a "nes emulator" cover and the user could use whatever emulator /ROMs he/she wants as long as the disc is game id1 (just an example)

It's easy to "think stuff" sorry for this wall of text just had to say what I am thinking.

This commutiy is ace !
