<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md7"></a>
Aims</h2>
<ul>
<li>Support as many N64 FlashCarts as possible.</li>
<li>Be open source, using permissively licensed third-party libraries.</li>
<li>Be testable, using unit and smoke tests in ares emulated environment.</li>
<li>Encourage active development from community members and N64 FlashCart owners.</li>
<li>Support as many common mods and features as possible.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md8"></a>
Experimental features</h2>
<p>These features are subject to change:</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md9"></a>
N64 ROM autoload</h3>
<p>To use the autoload function, while on the <code>N64 ROM information</code> display, press the <code>R</code> button on your joypad and select the <code>Set ROM to autoload</code> option. When you restart the console, it will now only load the selected ROM rather than the menu. The autoload setting is stored in <code>config.ini</code> and persists until changed. This feature may slightly increase boot time as the menu needs to check for the Start button state. NOTE: To return to the menu, hold the joypad <code>Start</code> button while powering on the console.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md10"></a>
GamePak sprites</h3>
<p>To use N64 GamePak sprites, place PNG files within the <code>sd:/menu/boxart/</code> folder.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md11"></a>
Supported sprites</h4>
<p>These must be <code>PNG</code> files that use the following dimensions:</p><ul>
<li>Standard N64 GamePak boxart sprites: 158x112</li>
<li>Japanese N64 GamePak boxart sprites: 112x158</li>
<li>64DD boxart sprites: 129x112</li>
</ul>
<p>Supported PNG formats:</p><ul>
<li>RGB/RGBA color formats</li>
<li>8-bit color depth</li>
</ul>
<p>They will be loaded by directories using each character (case-sensitive) of the full 4 character Game Code (as identified in the menu ROM information). i.e. for GoldenEye NTSC USA (NGEE), this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/E/boxart_front.png</code>. i.e. for GoldenEye PAL (NGEP), this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/P/boxart_front.png</code>.</p>
<p>To improve compatibility between regions (as a fallback), you may exclude the region ID (last matched directory) for GamePaks to match with 3 letter IDs instead: i.e. for GoldenEye, this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/boxart_front.png</code>.</p>
<p><b>Warning</b>: Excluding the region ID may show the wrong boxart. <b>Note</b>: For future support, boxart sprites should also include:</p><ul>
<li><code>boxart_back.png</code></li>
<li><code>boxart_top.png</code></li>
<li><code>boxart_bottom.png</code></li>
<li><code>boxart_left.png</code></li>
<li><code>boxart_right.png</code></li>
</ul>
<p>As a starting point, here is a link to a boxart pack following the new structure, including <code>boxart_front.png</code> and fallback images:</p><ul>
<li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IpCmFqmGgGwKKmlRBxYObfFR9XywaC6n/view?usp=drive_link">Link</a></li>
</ul>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md12"></a>
Compatibility mode</h4>
<p>If you cannot yet satisfy the correct boxart layout, The menu still has <b>deprecated</b> support for filenames containing the Game ID.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> This will add a noticeable delay for displaying parts of the menu.</p>
<p>Each file must be named according to the 2,3 or 4 letter GamePak ID (matched in this order). i.e.</p><ul>
<li>for GoldenEye 4 letters, this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/NGEE.png</code> and/or <code>sd:/menu/boxart/NGEP.png</code>.</li>
<li>for GoldenEye 3 letters, this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/NGE.png</code>.</li>
<li>for GoldenEye 2 letters, this would be <code>sd:/menu/boxart/GE.png</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>As a starting point, here are some links to boxart packs:</p><ul>
<li><a href="https://mega.nz/file/KyJR0B6B#ERabLautAVPaqJTIdBSv4ghbudNhK7hnEr2ZS1Q6ub0">Japan Boxart</a></li>
<li><a href="https://mega.nz/file/rugAFYSQ#JHfgCU2amzNVpC4S6enP3vg--wtAAwsziKa7cej6QCc">American Boxart</a></li>
<li><a href="https://mega.nz/file/OmIV3aAK#kOWdutK1_41ffN64R6thbU7HEPR_M9qO0YM2mNG6RbQ">European Boxart</a></li>
<li><a href="https://mega.nz/file/ay5wQIxJ#k3PF-VMLrZJxJTr-BOaOKa2TBIK7c2t4zwbdshsQl40">64DD Boxart</a></li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md13"></a>
Menu Settings</h3>
<p>The Menu creates a <code>config.ini</code> file in <code>sd:/menu/</code> which contains various settings that are used by the menu. If required, you can manually adjust the file on the SD card using your computer.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md14"></a>
