Just tried out your latest revision and it’s really coming together nicely. I would suggest implementing some sort of tooltip system (for icon buttons) and adjustment of the Wiimote rumble (It’s a bit over-excited at the moment). I’m sure you’ve already considered these, though.

Other than that, looking excellent. Take your time.

wow … i totally missed the 0.3 preview revs and the youtube video
this looks gorgeous teknecal

if executing apps directly from hbb will be a future feature, it would be so cool, because your categorization and rating comes in so handy when you have many titles on the sd card, then having to search for it in the hbc alphabetical list

Thanks for the example, however I’d like to stick to mp3s. I have made it so it loads the mp3 file from the SD card, so users could just put a fade on the mp3 if they want it to sound better when looping I guess.

Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment yeah it does stutter a bit, but now I’ve made it so it loads all the icons to memory when it first starts HBB and now there’s no more stuttering.

You can hold down B and move the Wiimote down or up like you do in the HBC when reading the about information of the app.

Ive found if you use MP3Player_PlayFile or MP3Player_PlayBuffer the restart is always noticeable.

If you are interested this is an sound example I put together using oggplayer and a clicking sound effect. It is really simple and I used the loop from your video. The advantage of oggplayer is that is has a OGG_INFINITE_TIME function so the loop restarts seamlessly.

you might want to add StopOgg(); at the end

Great work!

The only issue I really had was that the program icons were fetched slower than the page scrolled (I believe from SD), so it would stutter as it loaded each one. Perhaps they should be stored in RAM earlier?

Please make sure it has a way to page down through the list of things. Nothing is more boring then have to hold down on the down arrow.

Thanks!
