I once tested OpenMenu awhile ago and games that appeared/played perfectly on GDMenu were either missing or wouldn’t play once implemented to OpenMenu. This very reason is what stops me from transferring over permanently, it’s just not up to speed yet in my opinion. You should expect that EVERY image you have playable on one front end will be perfect on another but this isn’t the case. There was also the problem of using a wireless Xbox One controller on OpenMenu, it would double jump on a single press making it almost impossible to select games. Like I said, until these type of things are refined, I can’t see openmenu being the go-to viable way to use GDEmu. There’s a reason lots of people still use GDMenu, it works with next to no issues at all.

I can't speak to using other controllers, but the disc image compatibility issues have all seemingly been fixed. I haven't run into a single one since the last few releases which failed to boot. I like to think I've put openMenu through its paces in that regard.

By the way, haven't you brought this up on Discord before?

I use a Brook Wingman SD with Xbox One controller and openmenu scrolls out of control not allowing you to properly select any games. I consulted Brook about this, no joy. I also consulted Megavolt, no joy. The original GDMenu front end works flawlessly however so i have to assume it has to be something internally to do with openmenu. If you are saying there has been plenty of updates recently that have sorted the unplayable CDI situation, then I guess I could give openmenu another go soon.

I've helped quite a few people with the process of converting their old GDmenu SD card to openMenu, as well as configuring things like artwork and metadata. As a result, I decided to set aside a little time to put together a video tutorial. My hope is that this tutorial once and for all teaches people who easy this process can be.
