SleekMenu 64 v1.1.0
Upgrading from 1.0:
- download and copy the new
SleekMenu64.z64over the old one at
the root of the card - download the correct prep GUI version for your setup (or
sleekmenu-prep.pyzv1.1) - prepare the card once with the prep GUI (or
sleekmenu-prep.pyzv1.1)
A card prepared by 1.0 still browses, but only a 1.1 prepare gives it the box view's covers and the fixes below.
Note that the Prep GUI tool is unsigned on Mac so it will trigger a warning. You can open an unsigned app on macOS by attempting to launch it, then going to Settings under Privacy & Security in System Settings to click "Open Anyway"
Fixed
- Games are found anywhere on the card, not only in ROMS/ (or pick one folder in the GUI and it will be remembered)
- Some hacks that booted to black screens now properly: the header checksum is fixed at launch, like the EverDrive menu does
- Games with accents in their name (Pokémon…) showed up twice with weird characters and wouldn't start if the card was prepared on a Mac
- Long descriptions now scroll instead of being cut off. You can also scroll using d-pad up and down
- Everdrive X7: games that use the clock (Animal Forest) get it set at launch. Thanks TheDiscordian for the PR!
New features
- Start launches the game straight from the list, A still opens the details
- Box view: A on the details shows the box art full screen, with optional high-res boxes
- Games you copied since the last prepare show up anyway and play (marked NOT IN CATALOG, so no metadata and covers)
- High-resolution boxes: an option fetches libretro's 512-pixel boxes for
the box view; a card that has them keeps them complete from then on. - Your own box art and metadata, handy for hacks and homebrew (using the GUI)
- Version number on the start screen
The prep GUI
- The card is now prepared from a GUI, one download per system — working on macOS
(Apple silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux — with nothing to install.
Pick the card, press Download the first time to fetch the box-art
collection onto it, then Prepare. - The Catalog tab shows the card as the browser will: every game, its box
as the console draws it, and where each fact came from. Search narrows
the list; Show narrows it to what you changed, or to what is not in the
catalog yet. - Give any game, or every game with one game code, your own picture, text,
title, genre, publisher, year, players and regions. Save puts it on the
card straight away; Remove my edit puts the original back. - Prepare is incremental : only new or changed files are read.
