Options Menu

A menu you can open at any moment on your NES, SNES, Famicom or Super Famicom Classic — on the Home screen or in the middle of a game — to power off, back up your saves and settings, manage Wi-Fi and RetroArch, tweak the controllers and more. Other hmods can add their own entries and screens to it.

It's my continuation of CompCom's Options Menu (last release 1.3.4, 2019), with a new interface, 9 languages and new menus.

Start here

1. Installation — which build to pick and how to install it
2. Using the menu — opening it, the buttons, power options
3. The menus: RetroArch, Network and Wi-Fi, Save Manager, Advanced Options
4. FAQ — common questions and problems

Making an hmod? Creating a plugin walks you through adding your own entries and screens, and Building covers compiling the menu itself.

What's new compared to 1.3.4

• New look: smooth TTF fonts, preview icons, toggle switches, submenu markers and button hints, with colors you can change in /etc/options_menu/theme.cfg (see the README)

  

• 9 languages: English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Português, Русский, 日本語, following the console's own language unless you pick one

• New menus: Controller (autofire, Home combo, Start on the 2nd Famicom controller), Diagnostics, Save Manager, Wi-Fi backups, epilepsy protection

• Entries that need a USB/SD drive or a missing component are hidden instead of failing

• Lists such as Wi-Fi backups let you delete entries by holding B

• The opening combo is picked automatically for consoles without shoulder buttons

• A compat build for setups where another hmod replaces the console's libstdc++

• For plugin authors: toggles, submenus, conditional entries, deletable lists and translations
