Many folks have mentioned the fact that Professor Abrasive’s default menu for Satiator is not much to look at.., especially when compared side by side with it’s current competitors, such as TerraOnion’s MODE or even the Rhea & Fenrir for that matter… For the most part, it’s focus has been strictly utilitarian, and it certainly get’s the job done.
However, the real beauty of it is that Abrasive has made it’s source code open and available for the community to come in and really make it shine! And that is exactly what RetroHead has done… Original Article Here
UPDATE: v4.1 Released
Satiator Rings has reached another milestone so here we are with a new suite of updates.
Menu Added:
- Support for text box colours to be changed in themes. This also effects the boot screen background.
- Shadow texture is now loaded from themes. Please update your own custom themes by clicking on them in the config tool, this will copy the shadow texture if it is missing to fix your custom themes.
- Included in the package is v2.0 of the Satiator Rings AR patch which can be flashed to an action replay to allow booting directly into Satiator Rings. A reset-console hook is installed to A+B+C+Start, this differs from the official satiator AR which tries to reload the menu therefore this takes a little more time but should be far more reliable (100%??).
- New dark theme included as an example.
Menu Fixed:
- Options cleaned up, it was starting to look mess before.
- Saving options for theme was missing the first element.
- Minor Fixes.
Config Tool Added:
- Theme editor can now edit text box colours and sprites.
- If SHDW.TGA is missing from a selected theme, a copy will be added by the application automatically.
- Suggestion about flashing the AR patched firmware after installing or updating Satiator Rings. The AR patch will be located in /satiator-rings after installation.
Config Tool Fixed:
- Deleting a favourite from the game list would mess favourites up.
AR Patch Fixed:
- Reset hook now resets the console which should be more reliable.
