All the versions have been thoroughly tested, but know that it's very easy to make a small mistake that can prevent the whole thing from working, so please report any bugs you encounter.
On a side note, the first time you boot pyMenu it will take longer to load (depending on how many games you have), don't report this as a bug, pyMenu should boot faster the second time you load it.
HOW-TO:
Since some people seem to be confused about using some of pyMenu's functions, I'll show you a step by step guide, mainly
for playing ISOs/MP3s/Pictures
How to play mp3 files and view pictures.
pyMenu's default paths for pictures and mp3s are ms0:/PICTURE and ms0:/MUSIC
These two paths are unavailable on the vita so you can't use them, therefore we have to change them.
To do so, open the file called CONFIG.TXT, in this file you'll see these predefined paths and you can change them easily.
The lines look like this:
Code: Select all
# path to where the picture files are
picture_path = "ms0:/PICTURE"
# path to where the music files are by default
music_path = "ms0:/MUSIC"Another way to play mp3s and view pictures is simply using the file browser, this allows you to open mp3s and pictures anywhere on the memory stick.
If you decide to use CMA then I uploaded a bunch of custom made savefiles that are named ISO, MUSIC and PICTURE, you can include isos, mp3s and pictures in these saves and copy them over with CMA, then you can use this config file to access them directly from the main menu.
Code: Select all
# "simple" and "complete", select from the two different menu styles available
main_menu = "complete"
# "icon" and "plain", icon shows the icon0.png of the game, plain shows nothing
game_menu = "icon"
# path of the default background
default_bg = "defbg.png"
# File browser's root directory
start_path = "ms0:/"
# path to where the picture files are
picture_path = "ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/PICTURE"
# path to where the music files are by default
music_path = "ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/MUSIC"
# path where the ISOs are by default
iso_path = "ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/ISO"
# Force the menu to exit if a BSoD appears, not recommended for Vita users
force_exit = False
# Use a splash screen when loading, set to False for a load speedup
use_splash = True
# The default format of the Music Player, options are: mp3, ogg, wav
music_player = "mp3"
# DO NOT TOUCH THIS OR THE MENU WILL MALFUNCTION
version = "CEF"
# Default Menu Language
default_language = "EN"
# possible options:
# EN: english
# FR: french
# DE: germanThis is another feature people seem to not know about or not know how to use. pyMenu has been translated into Spanish, French, German and others.
The way to use another language is fairly simple when you know how, you just need to open CONFIG.TXT, scroll to the end and find this:
Code: Select all
default_language = "EN"To know what to change EN with just look at your language's file, if it's named LANG_XX.TXT then just replace EN with XX
How to use custom icons in eboots and isos
This is a feature that exists out of its own, it was never planned. pyMenu extracts all icons from the eboots and isos into the memory stick, this produces two good side effects and one bad side effect.
Bad side effect: the first time you boot up pyMenu it takes more time to load since it extracts all these icons at once, but the next time you launch it it loads faster since they are already extracted.
Good side effects:
- when showing icon0 for an eboot or iso it's loaded faster since it doesn't have to do extraction, it only has to read the file directly.
- Since the icons are in files on the memory stick, you can replace them with your own custom icons.
The icons are extracted differently between isos and eboots, for an eboot the icon is extracted as icon0.png in the same folder as the eboot, so if you have ms0:/psp/game/whatever/eboot.pbp, then pyMenu will extract the icon into ms0:/psp/game/whatever/icon0.png, for isos the icons are extracted in ms0:/pygame/tmp/name_of_the_iso.png, so if you have an iso named whatever.cso then it's icon will be extracted into ms0:/pygame/tmp/whatever.cso.png
knowing this information you can replace those icons with your own one.
