Would that be difficult to do @SWAT? Unfortunately I'm not sure cpasjuste is going to continue development of RetroDream so it would be great if you could take some ideas from him to improve the UI.

I knew that no one uses this except me, but this functionality has been there for a long time:

- The main thing is the scrolling. If you're using the d-pad to move up and down the file list, it should scroll when it gets to the top or bottom of the list instead of moving to an outside element. I also noticed the triggers aren't being used for anything so maybe you could utilize those to scroll the file list as well?

- It would also be nice if you could hold down the d-pad to move through the selections. Maybe with it getting a little faster the longer you hold it down.

No place for that, where? Remove picture? Settings has a lot parameters.

Yeah I was thinking it would go over the cover image but only when you click the settings button. I was thinking you might be able to split it into two tabs as well, one for basic settings and one for "Advanced Settings". Just an idea though. It's really not a big deal having settings on a separate page but it might be something to think about. I think in general, compatibility is the best thing to work on for now.

Things that work better (compared to T32):
- Coming back to main Dreamshell after exiting ISOLoader now works fine (mouse pointer used to remain inactive)
- The SDCard Speed test now works fine again

Things that still doesn't work:
- Trying to set parameters (button `B`) to a title which is employing Audio CDDA within ISOLoader leads to an immediate crash
+ No problem loading the game itself (button `A`), it's just not possible to change parameters (from within ISOLoader, one can edit files manually from a PC)
- Some slowdown and sound distortion while playing games with CDDA emulation.

Main game used for tests : Ms Pacman

OK I'll check SD card in ISO Loader application.

I remember trying that,
but it was quite difficult to find a good set of tools to make these change easily and safely
(I believe the ADPCM format must be clearly specified and it's easy to get it wrong. More importantly, the recombination of tracks to create a GDI was obscure, kind of "try to do it manually" situation).
Unsurprisingly, I simply gave up after numerous failures.
