What's new

  • Complex execution strings can be set in the "execs" property
    • example:
      execs = /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=retroarch org.libretro.RetroArch -L /home/usr/.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/cores/snes9x_libretro.so
  • All gmenu2x links can now be launched from SimpleMenu.
    • applications such as "Terminal" or "System info" now work from SimpleMenu
    • For this to work, they can be copied to either /home/.simplemenu/apps or /home/.simplemenu/games, and the .fgl extension should be added (and this extension should also be listed in those sections' ini files, if not there already)
  • Fixed a cosmetic issue where the console was sometimes visible when launching things or coming back to the menu
  • Fixed a cosmetic issue where the custom loading screen would sometimes be replaced by the default OD logo
  • Fixed the Miyoo version, which was crashing when launched.
  • Fixed running as default in rogue/stock
