PS2 Gui Overhaul, Part 2

[TnA]

Nah no problem! It can be changed!


I just thought, that users could simply have that as a theme as well and the "rather empty" current internal theme is like an almost "blank" example.

Here is something interesting about hard reset:

SCMD 0x23 => Performs a hard reset, just like tapping the power button. We can have a proper hard reset instead of always using soft reset which was not that much perfect.

Maybe this function might be replaced instead of already used soft reset (IGR)?

 

[TnA]

That would only work, if someone doesn't want to start an ELF though.

BUT! Yes, for a reset this seems to be a good idea, as well as a Reboot in FMCB possibly?

Real time SFX volume adjustment

Works really nice.

Font scaling should now be correct in all video modes

Edited English font

Info Page Attribute Text keys can now be translated

So probably soon new strings will be added:

belek666 and jolek added to About Page

This is something new for me...
At least I'm not in Coders area.

I appreciate it very much.

Bug fixes and theme updates

Hmm, I still wonder how you managed to have everything perfect at this screen with normal aspect ratio:

Even with Roboto-Condensed font I am getting little bit shifted one option (576i):

While with widescreen everything is normal (576i):

EDIT: It might be that previously 1st letter was big, other small.
E.g. Automatyczne zwalnianie...
instead of Automatyczne Zwalnianie...

BTW Huge thanks for these new features and bug fixes.

 

[Tupakaveli]

I must be using an old language file to test...



Where do I get the latest one?

Where do I get the latest one?

I don't remember if this package has got new font so here is a link to it:

@jolek

Try this one.

 

[jolek]

Try this one.

I have the same thing with OPL 1434 (62b541).
I mean only one option is a little bit shifted as before.
I'll try to rename all options to have only 1st letter in upper case:
Nie wyświetlaj...
Buforowanie listy gier
Automatyczne zwalnianie...

EDIT: It seems that even this idea do not help:

 

[Tupakaveli]

Weird...

Everything looks fine for me in 576i

Edit: Are you sure you don't have font file on another device?

 

[Krah]

Yea, your guys font doesn't look the same.. @joleks is wider, either font file is different or you aren't both using the same widescreen setting?

 

[jolek]

Here is how font looks like in my OS:

Here is how LNG folder looks like on mass (I've deleted all conf from MC\HDD\mass).
I have LNG folder only on mass:

Here is about screen with OPL version:

Normal screen (widescreen OFF):

Widescreen ON:

Display settings, to show what display setting are set:

Video Mode -> Auto = 576i (PAL console).

In attachments.
LNG-PL2 = Every first letter in settings are in upper case (Buforowanie Listy...).
LNG-PL = Only first letter in setting is in upper case (Buforowanie listy...).

 

[Tupakaveli]

Auto for PAL is 512i

The font scaling wasn't correct for Auto video mode because I forgot to change the Pixel Aspect Ratio for that one...

Should be fixed now.

 

[jolek]

Thanks, here is how its looks like now (Video Mode -> Auto = 512i (PAL console)):

• Normal (widescreen off)
  
  
  
  
  
• Widescreen on:
  
  

Additionally I've checked other res (except of 576p) on SCPH-50004.
Everything should be fine with Roboto-Condensed font.

Spoiler: Default font

It probably doesn't matters, but with default font:

• Normal (widescreen off)
  
  
  
  
  
• Widescreen on:
  
  

There are no Polish specific letters (ąćęł...), so it can be treat as a curiosity.

 

[TnA]

Maybe a bit "further distance" could be the default?

It is currently ~the middle of the screen, but it certainly needs less space on screen than the function-name! Maybe it could be at ~1/3rd?!

Thanks to everyone that tested

 

[jolek]

It is gonna be huge pull request!
Thanks.

I've notice that also problem with saving setting on HDD in particular scenario was fixed:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/gui-overhaul-part-2.26928/page-2#post-215362.

From what I remember there are still a problems with:

• GUI freeze while creating VMC in 720p:
  https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/191.
  
  
• OPL freezes when the power button has been been pushed while it's displaying the HDD list:
  https://www.psx-place.com/threads/open-ps2-loader-v0-9-3.13415/page-47#post-223965.
  
  
• I remember that someday @wisi mention "modes" translation.
  I mean that there is only space for 6 letters\digits (e.g. "Mode 6") while some translation need more.
  
  
• Support for 576p in OPL menu:
  https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/191.

Not related to GUI:
https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/231,
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/opl-1627-db-ta-784dc3f-memory-problem.27881/.
In free time I'll try these games with OPL 0.9.3.

BTW I forgot to add that while launching OPL with e.g. 720p screen for a while looks like it is "printing".
I've also added boot sound if it is somehow related.
I have trouble with words, but it looks like CRT generating image.
Something like this:

 

[Tupakaveli]

Alternate version of Korium with plasma background.

 

[El_Patas]

Alternate version of Korium with plasma background.

@Tupakaveli, ok, thank you, but sorry, i don't explained myself better, what i like is not only
the plasma background, i like all the previous icons, positions, sizes, list lenght, etc, i don't like nothing
about the korium theme or any other theme, all original previous default data in the list of games.

If i need use a custom theme for have the previous design of the plasma i like it all, not just
only the background plasma.

Best regards.

 

[Tupakaveli]

@El_Patas

This theme is how the repo is currently.

Best regards.
