Hi, SimpleMenu dev here, thanks for making this video. In the follow up you can also show how to go from one letter to the next one and how to go from one section to another without having to see the logo (always holding B and either up, down, left or right, in case you haven't tried it). You also have the tidy rom names option, which I don't think was discussed and don't forget random select! :D

However, I did design a few of the section images myself while trying to emulate the same style as the other images when they did not exist in the other themes. So, I can't take all the credit, but I'm trying to add my own style to the existing images to make it unique. ;)

I guess the "tidy ROM names" option is to shrink the full name of the ROM, so that instead of showing Batman (version 1)(1992)(USA)(NTSC), it will only show Batman, thus removing everything within brackets.

Another great video MashTec, looking forward to a tutorial on adding new systems etc... Workng on a "Rogue" Skin based on the gbz35-remix by Weston Campbell but have idea how to edit the "themes.ini" to include Game Mods for some of the console systems and various versions of FBA to support multiple Romsets and alias files for sets 86 (A320), 35 (GCW0) and 44 (RG350 / PG2) I have some good artwork to help with the navigation for the ROM folders on for the SD Card. I am currently creating the required Artwork for the additional custom systems but not sure how include them. I also wonder if this will support AJPG files like the Pythn Menu by Jack83. Having fullscreen animated jpegs as an option would look great. Any thoughts ?

I love Simple Menu, but got troubles with emulators that have their own frontend incorporated which cannot be disabled such as ProTools (A7800), Mame4All or Race (Nec PC-Engine). Those emulators are loading their own frontend when I select a rom in Simple Menu to start the game. If there's a way to prevent those emulators to start their own frontend instead of starting the game, let me know!
@MashTec

Yes my friend. Check the community tab on my channel. I posted some fixed emulators there that can load a game directly instead of loading an own frontend. At least there is a Mame4All version.

Does anyone have a good config or way of launching scummvm games? It would be nice to at least display them as single entries and go to scummvm would be fine. Psx has a similar issue in that it will show all cds rather than per game.
