Developer neur0n released a new alternate menu for HBL a few days ago, called vMenu (Visual Menu). He’s already back with a nice update today.
What you will LOVE about this menu is that it shows you the thumbnail of each Homebrew, and it does it faster than the XMB
The new version adds sound, and the possibility to browse the memory stick (version 1.1 was limited to the default folder)
There are still a few bugs here and there (I found that version 1.2 doesn’t show all my homebrews, for example it doesn’t display Wagic ), but this looks super promising, I highly recommend you to try it!
Download here, and don’t hesitate to post your feedback to neur0n in his thread on /talk where you will find alternate versions to dowload
Installation: unzip in the hbl folder of your memory stick, NOT in your homebrew folder!
