Notes

2021-03-29
The Standard Version will no longer get updates.

2021-03-19
It's likely you need to copy the two needed MiSTer Script's again to the MiSTer-System after an MiSTer's OS Update.
▶️ If you use the new Installer/Updater for the USB-Version just Re-Run it 😃
We moved the files to another location which fixes the issue.

SD Version
Using the Effects for all Picture/Logo Transistions (not only for the Menu)
"MENU" Picture moved from Code to the SD, makes it easier to change (if you like).
Modified Text Position calculation (See Arduino File for Details).
Show a small "SD-Icon" on Startup Screen instead of the "dot" if SD Card was detected.

2021-02-14
tty2oled Script: Changed the timed loop from sleep $WAITSECS to an loop with inotifywait -e modify "/tmp/CORENAME".
This makes the system more reactive as the scripts waits for an Core change instead of polling.
SD Version: Adding more Home Menu Effects (just for fun)
