[Release]VisualMenu for HBL v1.51 + Browse

[cobaltex]

also i tried to see if i could use a different button sound by using the sound used in wmenu and what resulted was the sound being played followed by heavy static, i was wondering if something could be done about that.

It used to change the view from a list to a grid, but it stopped working when he added browsing support. It was likely intentional, but it could be a bug.

I believe it's a bug because when you press square the click sound plays.. He should've removed anything related to that button if removing it was intentional..

v1.3 beta
-- change can be viewed homebrews from 40 to 80.

Congrats on a nice menu, I'm currently testing it out. If I may suggest, get rid of that hard-coded limit.

I am assuming the limit's meant to avoid using too much memory for thumbnails? Why not add a simple image cache? An array of image pointers that holds say IMAGE_MAX images. For every image you load you put it in the cache and when it is full you free up the memory for the last used one.

To make it look nice visually if you scroll a page at a time you could use a rectangle as a placeholder while the images load, it's better than halting the menu until the images are loaded.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit: It would also be nice if it could check for the existence of a ../hbl_config.txt and use the configuration from that. To avoid cluttering XMB I keep most of my homebrew in /PSP/Homebrew/ not /PSP/GAME/ and while HBL is easy enough to configure to show this folder as default I couldn't get that to work on visual menu.

Tried installing the menu in /hbl/visual-menu/ to be able to switch between wmenu and visual menu easily too. While loading visual menu from wmenu worked nice, it crashes when I try to load wmenu from visual menu. Another thing to look into I suppose.

Really?

This menu gets the default game folder from hbl's config.

If this menu failed to open the folder which getted from hbl's config , the menu will open /PSP/GAME/.

Running a menu from another menu is not supported in HBL and will not work. Either it crashes on startup because the menu API is not in place (I suppose this is the problem with wMenu) or it crashes later (or doesn't load the homebrew and simply returns) if it defaults to a standard homebrew folder and doesn't rely on other API information like the credits string. A more technical explanation of why this is the case is in this thread.

Setting the homebrew folder in hbl_config.txt works fine for me in Visual Menu btw. I guess you tried to run it through wMenu when you made that observation?

That's why the current menu API should be replaced. It would be very easy to support unlimited chained menus loading.

Sometimes, it is not a question of "can we do it?", but "why the f### would we want to support such a use case?"
