Your Welcome. Feel free to add this to your package if you wish.

 

I did notice that the manuals in your package are all named instructions.txt if they are renamed to match the rom file you can press 3 to bring up the manual when the rom is highlighted as explained below.

 

For anyone that doesn't know, if you name the manuals the same as the rom and put the manuals in a manuals folder when you have the rom highlighted you can press 3 on the keypad to bring up the manual. If you have a screenshot named the same and press 1 on the keypad the image comes up. To go back to the rom screen from either the screenshot or the manual just press the fire button.

 

My Frantic Freddy rom is named Frantic Freddy.rom so I named the manual Frantic Freddy.txt The manual, screenshot and rom must be named the same for the above to work. You can rename screenshots, manuals and roms if the names don't match.

 

I don't have Flipper Slipper, so I will probably type that one up also.

Yes, there are Yurkie. In the root of the SD Cart package I assembled, there is a MISSING LIST text file for boxart, docs and pics. It is just a quick and dirty list to keep track of everything I need to add.

I setup my directory structure so that I could have all the pertinent files for a particular game all under one roof. For instance:

 

Carts A-C\Antarctic Adventure\Antarctic Adventure.rom

.............................\Instructions.txt

.............................\Cheats.txt

.............................\Faq.txt

.............................\Screenshot #01 (Boxart)

.............................\Screenshot #02 (Title)

.............................\Screenshot #03 (Ingame)

 

this way I can browse to the game directory and have everything available along with multiple text and pic files, whereas if I stayed with the way Steve laid it out, I would only have access to one TEXT file and one PIC file by using the keypad shortcuts or using the long method of browsing back and forth through the directories. Then I would have to hope (when the full SD Cart instructions are made available) that there would be a way to assign another directory, say CHEATS, to a keypad button, say #2.

 

Guess there's a million ways to lay it out and it's all up to the end-users preferences. That's what I love about the SD Cart, there's so much more costumization that can be done with it over the 128-in-1 along with the other perks... like the included games from CollectorVision (which if you bought in cart form from CollectorVision, would cost almost as much as the SD Cart costs).

 

Thanks for the Flipper Slipper docs!
