PC2DS, DS2PC, seeing ingame footage while selecting your game, Total-convertion theme editing, etc. (This is just the demo these features are not yet implimented.
I'm not that good at describing my projects so just see it for yourself with my video.
Please watch the video before downloading this would introduce you to it.
Additional info:
Custom covers:
These are special type of screens that have videos or unique graphics in it.
As seen on the video.
MenuDo Assistant:
This would help you manipulate the ini easier. Like configuring what menu loads.

Dldi before using! If you press A in a menu then loads and goes back, it means there is nothing to execute.
For beginners please download the customCovers.
If you have downloaded custom covers it could be run on default by pressing A on Games or by holding Down on autorun.http://rapidshare.com/files/138772141/menudoSabawBin.rar.htmlhttp://rapidshare.com/files/138774262/MENUdo_Assistant.rar.htmlCustom covers (Recommended for beginners)

Tutorial for those who are having a hard time:
The easiest way is to download Menudo including customcovers.
Then extract all contents including customcovers to the root.
If done correctly your root would look like this:

Now dldi the menudoSabaw.nds then run it.
If done correctly this would work. Press A on Games to view games -> halo and everlasting.
How to customize the menu.
The full customization relies on the ini.
There are two ways of editing via notepad or Menudo Assistant. This tutorial helps explain the functions.
Open up system_theme.ini. The ini is somehow similar to an html, honestly it feels like a scripting language to me.
Menu0runs = fat:/TTMENU.nds
If you press A while on Goto Original Menu (Menu0) it would run:
fat:/TTMENU.nds
You can also change it make it to view a folder by linking it with the folder instead.
Menu7runs = games
When you run Menu6Runs(Games) it explores the games folder.
There are also special functions like:
gba - loads slot2
power - powers off
to use it just add it after the Menu(X)runs =
like so:
Menu8runs = power
Misc Stuffs:
You can speed up the animation by holding the B button while navigating.
To open a file via stylus slide the name towards to the left.
You can hold the buttons in directions before you power on your ds to do autorun runs.
Ini Example:
startupUP = fat:/TTMENU.nds
startupDOWN = games
startupLEFT = fat:/Halo_ds.nds
startupRIGHT= fat:/beup.nds
It uses the same style with the menu(X)runs.
If you can load any homebrews, try changing the ini:
//auto
//Chishm's DLDI Loader
//M3 Internal Loader
//GBAMP Internal Loader
//EZ-Flash IV (4) Internal Loader
//SuperCard Internal Loader
NDSloader = 0
the 0 variable runs auto detection.
The complexity of the customization would make it flexible.
Sorry but this demo is very unuserfriendly.
Make sure you extract all to root then dldi. I just noticed this version is very complicated but still I Hope you guys would enjoy.
