Open MainUI 1.0.3 is a polish release: it brings small features, behaviour closer to stock, and refinements to everyday use.

Highlights

  • Search with X now opens Games -> Search with the results, as in stock (#11).
  • Settings play the change sound on every Brightness, Menu sound and Sleep timer adjustment, as in stock (#10).
  • Favorites folders: paste a game on a folder to put it inside.
  • Themes: text with a font size of 0 is hidden, as in stock, which themes such as DS XS and Game Boy Scouts rely on.
  • Games and Expert read their consoles each time you open them (which is fast since files are cached by system anyway), so changes to the SD card show up without a restart, and the selected console is kept.
  • Game details open right away; the cover appears as soon as it is ready.
  • Confirmations (Delete ROM, Clear Recents, Shutdown) need a separate press of A, so a long press can't confirm by accident.
  • Large icon packs use less memory.
  • Damaged files: MainUI now handles more kinds of damaged or unreadable list and settings files gracefully, and keeps a copy of the original before repairing anything.

Thanks to @Amiga500 for the reports and pull requests behind #10 and #11.
