Bug description
Hey, very nice work! I enjoy playing Doom a lot and added a number of custom WADS. Unfortunately, it is not possible to scroll through WADS because the text/directory tree is static. Hence on the gamepad screen, there is a limit of 14 wads to choose from. Adding the possibility of scrolling would be very appreciated!
Thanks a lot for this port! Instead of just modding my Wii U for the sake of modding it I am now actually using it for gaming.
Thanks for the report! I'm glad you're enjoying this port :)
I was aware of this limitation when creating the launcher, but I didn't think it was going to be a huge deal since I didn't expect this port to get as many users as it has been :) The fix should be really simple, I already knew how I wanted it to work back then I just didn't get around to it. I'll get it implemented soon!
Because it is not worth opening another issue: I tried to create a WUP installable channel for the menu (packing the .rpx with NUSpacker, and injecting the .rpx into a DS VC via Haxchi). Neither methods worked out. In case it is possible to create/compile a WUP installable package from the source code. Attached are some files that I made for the "meta" directory:
meta.zip
Wow, to be honest, I didn't even know that existed! Thanks for making those icons and sound (took me a bit to figure out how to convert it to wav so I could listen to it 😃) I don't know much about making WUP installable channels, I don't even use Haxchi on my Wii U (I just use Mocha and the web exploit), so I probably won't be able to help very much at the moment. Thanks for letting me know though!
Hi @chrhaeusler, I've made a commit that adds scrolling to the launcher if there are too many WADs. It's included in the 0.3.2 release, try it out and let me know if that works for you!
checked it quickly: yes, works perfectly and makes selecting wads very handy.
I guess I won't need any other game in the next 3 years:

Awesome, glad that works for you! I might have to check out some of those WADs myself :)
Closing this issue.
