Add a simple Jump_to/search capability

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My idea is to add a [JUMP] button to the top/bottom gui bar.
Pressing it will bring up a dialog box with radio buttons for # and A~Z (27 
buttons)

pressing one of the radio button will bring you to the page with a game 
beginning with that letter (Grid mode) or centered with that game (coverflow 
mode)

e.g. Press "P" will jump to the page with a game's name beginning with P . If 
no game begins with P then to a game beginning with Q etc...

This should be useful for ppl with many games.

ok, I have wrote some codes myself and it works (with limitations, see below)

I have never learnt C and this is my first ever "project" so the codes must be 
quite ugly and its a miracle that I made it work.
If anyone is interested, pls review and improve it and if possible, commit it 
to the source so that I don't have to make the changes manually whenever there 
is a new release.

limitation of my code:
1. It only work properly in "Sort by Title" mode and "sort_ignore = 0"
2. The Jump button is always active even in Sort modes other than sort by title

I don't know if it is appropriate to attach files (.dol and .c) here without 
asking. 
Anyway just ask if you want them.

all limitation removed.
Although it still works only in "Sort by Title" mode, now it works correctly 
irregardless of "sort_ignore" setting.
The "Jump button" will also be deactivated if not in "Sort by Title" mode.

Really hope it can be implemented into the main source.

2 softwiiv2: Could you implement this feature in main code, please?

Also it would be great to speed-up scroll speed for a long press of left or 
right buttons.

thanks for the interest in my source.
My source was based on cfg70r27 and I have not updated for a long time.

The source also included a mod for "wii games only filter" which is just an 
adaptation of the "Game cube only filter" - a newly added feature at that time. 
I think things might have changed a lot since then so you may want to leave 
that out.

I have commented every line I wrote with "//yan" or as a block "//yan....//yan 
end" pairs

A text editor with "find all" capability should help reading my codes.

I was a noob (and still am) at wii programming so my codes may look rough. Good 
luck.

Lastly, I noticed a Chinese mod with version 71 that have something looks like 
my work. I didn't bothered to download it and test if it is a copy of my work 
or they developed their own but I did send my source to a guy long time ago 
upon his request.  I am not sure if he leaked it. Anyway, I never asked him not 
to leak it...

thanks, that should make my attachment above obsolete.

Sorry, I forget that you have asked me for permission. My memory is rusted.
This is an open source project, so I don't really care if my code is "leaked". 
(Can't speak for others though)
I just don't feel comfortable someone called themselves version 71..
