Gmenu2x ported to Dingux

Posted Tue, 02/02/2010 - 17:44 by trilbymonkey

Are you ready for some awesomeness? Joyrider has ported the gmenu2x front-end to dingux! This is much easier to use than dmenu, dinguxmb and the like. No need to edit config files etc when you add new programs to Dingux. There are also various skins/themes already available too.
(note - the first screenshot is taken from Wiz/GP2X)

 

Quote from: Joyrider
"I ported gmenu2x to dingux, it has all the features of the original gp2x menu working and I fixed 2 small bugs in the original code (dealing with new links that didn't show correctly). I also added battery reading and a LCD Backlight setting, made the volume changing work and a few other things. Gmenu2x also has various skins/themes already available. "

A few notes :

The menu needs to be placed in /boot/local/gmenu2x (and no other place, the zip already contains the gmenu2x folder so just extract to /boot/local).

You'll also have to edit the /boot/local/sbin/main script if you want this to be your default menu !

The scanning feature looks for *.dge files, if you have games / applications with another extension you'll have to add it manually (in the menu itself, not through config files)

Will this fix MD emulator no 6 button?

by buddha_bro - 02/12/2010 - 21:35

Does anyone know if this will fix the non-working select = mode function in the current MD emulators? Even the updated double buffer MD emulator has this problem. Currently, all MD games are only 3 button, no 6 button ability ... sucks for Street Fighter etc. I was rather surprised when i got my dingoo and noticed this....

Gmenu2x with updated Main file

by trilbymonkey - 02/03/2010 - 22:34

Here's a copy with the updated Main file, also a 32x32 set of DekUI icons. Just extract straight to the SD card. http://www.mediafire.com/file/xytju0glzze/Gmenu2xDingoo+Main.rar

(Copy + paste the link into the address bar, for some strange reason it comes up as deleted file if you click it... odd...)
