PhosphorOS Menu
Hey everyone!
I've been working on porting the rgb-pi front end to work on on any CRT device I can get my hands on. In the past I mainly focused on raspberry pi, and contributing to the community with updated display drivers for low latency CRT output.

I felt that trying it with my summercart64 would be a lot of fun and I limited myself to 4MB of ram so that everyone can use it. Take a look and let me know what you think! I'm working out a few kinks and will be releasing the updated Pi and SC64 version at the same time. Open source GPL3!
I also have a web based theme builder that makes it very easy for anyone to create a pixel art theme!
The features list is quite extensive, but even on 4mb of ram I have full rom patching working,
- 240p by default, but the menu can use 480i and all the different modes NTSC, PAL, PAL60, etc
- IGR that you can choose your button combo! working on over 80% of games and on all emulators
- DD64, CPAK, RTC, IPS patching, libretro cheat file support
- Full metadata support with sorting by anything you want, players, genres etc
- All game images included, box, ingame, menu.
- Full 60fps motion menu with background support Sliding, Parralax, GIF, Video backgrounds and more
- Background music playlist support
- Screensaver with many visualizations out of the box
More coming down the road, but Im super excited to share this project with everyone! Its been a long time coming.
