Official Rhea Discussion

The menu is indeed coming...

In fact here is the initial public release!

Download link: RMENU_v0.1.3.zip

The latest firmware version available for Rhea/Phoebe is required.

Extract the contents of the archive to the root of your SD card. Folder '01' contains a stand alone
application named RMENU.exe, you need to run it first, before you can use the menu.
It is required to create the list of the games/software on your SD card and build the menu disc image.

For more information check the accompanying read-me file.

Enjoy.

 

yihaa,thx neuro for your work man,really apreciate it man.
tested and working fine as expected neuro,great job.
its nice to navigate through a menu now.

 

Awesomeness in its purest form! Thanks!

 

Thank you Neuroacid for bringing this to us all - this menu transforms the use of Rhea and I'm sure everyone appreciates the work you have put into this

 

Can you describe how it works ? (= the API to list games and select one game on Saturn side)
If technically possible, I can make it running from Action Replay / whatever cartridge.

 

Wondered that too, since I never remove my 4 in 1 AR cart. Plus Panzer Dragoon Saga needs the AR bypass code enabled, otherwise it won't boot. Not got time to try this yet until a few days but nonetheless, many thanks @neuroacid for this. Nice Xmas gift to all Saturn ODE owners

 

Nice. I see that it builds a custom iso with the folder contents. How does it tell Rhea to load the selected folder? I assume it sends some command to switch to the folder and then reset.

 

'llo here
congrat' for that release, essential for every Rhea / Phoebe owner.

 

Works great!
At first i was confused cause the action replay screen came on again but then i realized that starting the game actually resets the console.
It then starts up with the selected game so you can still use AR codes and such.

 

i tryed panzer dragoon saga without action replay,just started disc1 in rhea menu,and it works fine.
so not needed action replay anymore.
next tryed a bugs life to load with start button,so it use the menu bootloader,but same result.
the game is not working .

 

As I recall PDS always loaded fine on Rhea, you only need to patch it for Pseudo Saturn, since it detects carts.

Bug! was always broken, that one is a fault in Rhea itself.

Cheers neuro
It was getting annoying having to explain to people that they had to "Press the lid to change the game"

 

i hat to do with the version i used,used the pal version,now i use the ntsc version,working fine without the action replay.
and setting in rhea menu was fault,changed that a few months ago,and it woked fine.

 

Thank you veru much Neuro

 

I always had the remove cart message with my Rhea when using a AR cart, which i had to use the AR code to bypass it. But maybe that changed on the newer firmware and with Rmenu, will check later this week.

PDS always worked before without using an AR cart with Rhea.

Thanks, as that will answer my previous post before I made about using the AR.

 

Wait a min, do I need to use the AR with it?

id be happy to if the damn thing actually was picked up by games so could be used to save

 

Lol, you have never been able to save with it. You save to internal memory and then copy saves back to the AR.

 

To much work
I used the same official cart for the past 15 years

This this week when it dicked up, loosing all progress in Dragon Force 2

 

Thanks Neuro. I will be trying this out later. Still need to update my rhea to the latest fw.

 

Excellent work again neuroacid!! Can't wait to try out the new menu for Rhea.
