Free McBoot Configurator

[TnA]

@JNABK: You forgot the users, which use Auto-Boot-ELF. Those are than also restricted to use another app, to start the disc (it will work, if it is an app like ule, which can start discs, but what about ELFs like DMS-HDD-Explorer, for example,....), or the hacked OSD, as suloku said.

All my suggestions have a sense. ^^
No need to rip out more.


@Jimmi: Yes, please rename it to "Fastboot (Disc)", or similar.
Modchip-Creators also name it this way and it is commonly known (what it is).

Im cool with keeping it, i was just saying if it werent to be used, that could be removed to bring the menu up.

I personally havent used that option since i onlu use retail game discs in the consoles that use Free McBoot and it hasnt yet made any difference to me on or off.

But if its making a definite difference for other processes, then by all means it should be kept. I was under the impression it only forced an automatic boot and bypassed the MC menu loading.

o.k. based on JNABK Pic...

...I suggest an idea. ^^

- Configuration-Submenu for OSD-Settings, so the Skip-Functions are in OSD-Settings (they are OSD-Related).
- Config-Submenu for FMCB-"Core"-settings, like: "PAD-Delay", "DS", Fastboot and "Button-/KeyLaunch-Keys" (these are for the process, which is done before the hacked OSD is started, so FMCB-"Core-Settings", or something).
- Not sure, where the ESR-Path should be, but I think, it could stay in main-config-screen.

Configuration-Submenu for OSD-Settings, so the Skip-Functions are in OSD-Settings (they are OSD-Related).

That makes sense TnA...i'd have to agree!

Of course that would mean i'd have to re-do the Guide a bit, but its no biggie to change...

o.k. to keep the FreeVast-Thread more clean.

Here the collected suggestions, to make the configurator (and FMCB) even better.


-Move OSD-Related Items (OSD-Skip-disc; OSD-Skip-MC[-Update-Check]; OSD-Skip-HD[-UC]; Skip-Sony-Logo) to OSD-Submenu.
-Create a new Option (full disc prevention <-- Sorry can't find a good name for it) in FMCB-Configurator-Main-screen which switches Autoboot to "off" and OSD-skip-disc to "on".
If one of those settings is different, the Configurator shows it (full-disc-prevention) as "off".
...or if the settings are like these, it shows it as "on", but fastboot and osd-skip-disc remind configurable.
The FMCB-Structure remains, all is as flexible as before and this option can also be used without updating the FMCB-Core (osdmain.elf).
-MAYBE create a sub-menu for Configuration (FMCB-Core) and Advanced Configuration, but moving OSD-Items to OSD-Submenu is currently enough.


So I hope this is a good way and most agree with it.

Totally agreed.

I'll wait to see what jimmi does about that, IMO these conflicts between have to be handled by the launcher, and I think that gives more flexibility to configuration, even thought it seems it doesn't.

I'm not sure what do you mean, and I don't think it is needed right now, but it will be as long as more options are added.

Totally agreed.

That will clear-up the screen enough for now.

Well, me too.
But the main-thing is, that I don't know, why Fastboot should be permitted by the launcher itself (when OSD-Skip-Disc is on), if it could also handled by the Configurator and OSD-Skip-disc also doesn't interfere with the other option.
If it is interfering due to a bug-reason, I would also agree on disable it, but afaik it is no bug,...

I'm not sure what do you mean, and I don't think it is needed right now, but it will be as long as more options are added.

Anyway,... It wouldn't help now, to add more Sub-Menus to the configurator.
Like said at the beginning of my post "OSD-Settings" in one menu is enough.

[TnA]

Due to all those changes and additions to the OSD-Hack, I think it is good to have 1Submenu for "OSD-Settings" (for real options and hacks like skip-disc, skip-mc, skip-hd, assigned ELFs and so on,...) and another Submenu for "OSD-Visuals", or something (for the visual-only-hacks),...

[suloku]

This is what you testers have been waiting for

Please tell me about menu_y, max_velocity and scroll_speed settings, about their increase numbers and if they should have a max value.

Currently menu_y goes from 0 to 220, max velocity 0 to the max value an integer can hold , in/decreased by 100 and scroll speed goes the same, but in/decreased by 10.

[Bootlegninja]

Looks great, but I'm noticing a couple things off with it.

It'll only allow me to configure the 1st OSDSYS option

Also, the y adjustment in the OSDSYS config screen doesn't exist.

other than that, damn nice.
