interfaceLua v1.00

Intro:
Wow, finally this applications gets to see the light of day,
not as a beta or unofficial release. Its seen a lot of
name changes on its journey as well.
Initially, LuaMainframe1 was called Lowser2, however after
having a talk with Nevyn I was told that if they ever want
to release another Lowser then that's what they'll call it.
So I had to think of another name, instantly LuaMainframe
popped into my head, I love that name!
I started working on what I would now call a Lowser mod
worse gfx, but loads of cool features.
I sent that in for testing with my brilliant first beta
testers, who comments mainly that it was 'great, but has
an awful UI' Obviously the UI (User Interface) of any 
program is important.
Then, due to various circumstances I didnt do any coding
at all for 1-2 months, after that period I felt it would
be very hard to change the UI, and I wanted to add a menu,
so I relearned Lua and went back to the drawing board.
I decided it would be better to make people wait a little bit
longer, then have a great app, then getting an OK one, then
having to wait ages before a new one came out.
So I started working on this. It was tremendously hard at
first, but as soon as I found GUI (Graphical UI) inspiration
it took off! I made a coder's mistake of doing the graphics
first, however that didnt hinder my progress, I only needed
to change them all 8 times!
I worked on this on and off for a couple of weeks, then really
hard for a while. In these last few days I have been working
very hard, and feel a bit anti-social, but it was worth it!
Then I had to change the name from the LuaMainframe2 I so
loved, to something else, if it wasn't for Urza, helping
as usual, I don't think I'd ever have though of one.
interfaceLua was finally settled on, I'm sure it'll grow on 
me!
A last couple of days until the release, the last stretch is
always the hardest isn't it? Everything was going well until
the very end, were stuff started going wrong, but I fought
through the horrid code I write to sort it out, in turn
adding a feature!
So here I am, finally releasing my creation to the world, be
nice to it, but most of all enjoy it, for my sake!

Features:
I'm not sure about this apps feature list, it is massive, and
I have lost track of many of them, oops lol!
Here are some of them, but i you dont like these/want more
then just use it, im sure you'll love it!

Full browser of files on memory stick
High Customisability throughout
Home page
Lua File execution
Image viewer (png & jpeg)- will work on adding bmp support soon
GamePic (like icon0)*
LibBase*
Favorite homebrew execution
IrFS- Not completed, will not be for a while.
Settings screen/menu
USB Connection throughout
Its GUI

A lot more already done, and even more planned...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
* Please read below to find out about LibBase & GamePic

LibBase
This is one massive, yet tiny feature. All lib's are added
to LibBase so now there is no need to include the lib's in
your files. However, if you do this will pose no problem.
This helps with a few things including RAM saving
and ROM saving.

GamePic
This is what I believe is a super feature, it works like
icon0 in EBOOTs. You can see in the game menu how it
loads pictures for all the app's, well any image that
is a png, saved as "displaypic.png" will load there.
The resolution shown is 198x98, however smaller is OK
and larger will just be cropped to that size onscreen.

To do

Although I have got really far into the development on
interfaceLua, there is still much to do, including:

Get IrFS working- High Priority
Change the home page slighty (switch from cursor to jumping,
you'll understand when I've done it)
Add a working text reader- low priority
Add wav,xm etc player- lower priority
Probably add a menu, I dont know if i need one now... Maybe add
file manipulation...
Whatever else you guys say!
Add many, many more features

This is still an early release, and with all programs will
still have some bugs. If you spot any please contact me on

would of course be very grateful for, then please send them

Special Mentions

There is a lot of people I'd like to thank, so here we go:

*  My family, for putting up with me (or the lack of me) throughout

*  Fanjita & Ditlew, and Dark_Alex, for allowing me to downgrade
   my 2.60, this app couldn't have happened without them!
   
*  Urza, for testing this entire app with me, being there 
throughout, I really appreciate it man!

*  Youresam, for helping my do IrFS, even if it isn't finished yet
   I really appreciate it!
   
*  Nevyn, for creating and letting me use code from Lowser.
   Again, without that this wouldn't be here, at least not
   for a long time!
   
*  My original beta testers, without your comments I don't know
   where I'd be
   
*  FrozenIpaq, from qj.net, for general help and support

*  Finally, all of you, especially you reading, for downloading,
   using and commenting on my software!
   
   I'm sure I have missed people off this list, and if its
   you then I'm deeply sorry, its hard to keep track of everyone!
