Free McBoot Configurator

[suloku]

I grouped your beta releases

Thanks for that. I wanted to keep this thread for non beta releases, which will be the ones for the non beta fmcb releases, so I didn't post anything here.

Just to warn people: newest beta releases won't work with fmcb 1.5, the genereated config file isn't compatible for some settings.

1.6 works great French people rule

dude, you're going to have to get more to the point and on topic with your posts. You're all over the place with no subject, ryhme or reason.

Version 1.1 doesn't load from any location with FMCB's 1.6b test 4 button launcher "untested with the actual release of fmcb v1.6" all previous config releases work fine however.

@suloku- I'm experimenting with making text based art to personalize the BIOS screen. I have used some simple one line text art, emotes, kirbies, but want to make some multi-line art.
Do you know what encoding formats (Unicode, UTF-8, Shift JIS, etc.) are supported for proper display. Also is there a font that exactly matches the one used in the BIOS screen. While making the art I want to make sure it displays correctly before putting it into the .cnf file.

After experimenting I think the BIOS is using double byte character spacing, because I have to space the text differently than when viewing it in word or notepad. Some of the text also showed up as Japanese characters in the BIOS. Is there an editor that supports double byte characters and lets me see what combination of text will be read as an Asian character (so I can avoid these combinations), and give the proper spacing.

I know I already posted this question in the main FMBC thread, but I thought perhaps it is better suited for here. Wherever it gets answered I'll link to the answer in the unanswered post.
Thanks again for this great tool!

Here's one I whipped up through trial and error.

Here's 1.2 beta 1, ready for next fmcb release.

I think all is OK, I haven't had any problem, this is mainly to help testing.

BTW I would like to ask for help in organizing the menus. Lately I've been putting the options harshly and where I thought they would fit better without having too much trouble adding them, but I think There needs to be some order in the menus.

Maybe this is just a thought and everyone thinks the menus are ok as they are

^ Does it work with the fmcb button launcher? you broke it in v1.1.

[suloku]

Any problem you had being unable to boot the elf file wasn't related to configurator (well, that's what I think since I didn't change anything that would break the elf bootup).

Anyway I just tried the start and circle buttons, with a pad delay of 4 seconds and I haven't had any problem when booting.

BTW this newest beta is totally compatible with current fmcb 1.6.

I think the menu order is just fine as is, with the exception of the new option added. It pushes down the last line and causes an overlapping effect over the border and into the next line of text.

I would suggest removing the top line : Free McBoot Settings as this line isnt really needed and the whole configurator program is only used for Free McBoot Settings.
This should allow everything to move up and display correctly once again.


Or remove the AutoBoot Disc option, since it isnt going to be used anymore.

Woah, wait. Does this mean you guys weren't able to figure out how to keep the PS2 from autobooting discs from the OSDSYS screen? I sure hope not. I'm very anxious for the ability to turn off the autobooting.
