Upgrading from 1.0:

  • download and copy the new SleekMenu64.z64 over the old one at
    the root of the card
  • download the correct prep GUI version for your setup (orsleekmenu-prep.pyz v1.1)
  • prepare the card once with the prep GUI (orsleekmenu-prep.pyz v1.1)

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.
