Phew! Now that someone had the guts to say it first, I can honestly say that I don't like the GUI either; at all. There; I said it It would be nice if it could be changed into a normal OS interface, but this might be a matter of principal and tradition, so it's probably not going to happen.

To me it doesn't look like he's complaining about the GUI being used, but the fact that there should be more pixel space on the screen to work with.

The only complaint I have about the Load ROM dialog is that it doesn't cache the filenames for the rom directory. I store my 800+ SNES roms all in one directory and if I am accessing it from a network it takes approx. 25 seconds to load up the list. Everytime I go to load a different rom it has to create the file list again.

I have no other complaints. I think it's perfect the way it is.

Heh heh, that would be funny if I were to redesign the GUI so it still looks like the old GUI but with an improved look and higher resolution.

I think that would be fun!

Not a bad idea. Perhaps I will look into it when I have time. I shudder to think of what the code will be like though, every time when I think I've seen it all, I look at another part of the GUI

The only complaint I have about the Load ROM dialog is that it resets that red bar to the top when you re-open the dialog.

It's too bad that asm is crippling when it gets to implementing features such as these.

Yeah, exactly. Though, since I have such a huge list of ROMs I usually just type the name in the ROM filename text box so it jumps to the ROM.

The resolution is fixed to be the same as the SNES resolution.

Yeah, I understand that. It doesn't HAVE to stick to the native SNES resolution though, right?

In the DOS version, the lowest res is 320x240. So the GUI can't be larger, else there would be a lot more work, afaik.
