Display embedded G4D Menu instead of missing main Menu


Posted on Dec 4, 2011 by Massive Monkey

There are situations where its not convenient to add Menu.lst file to HD root, or when such file exists but corrupted, or a user wants to display the Embedded Menu on screen instead of existing main Menu.lst file.

Is it possible (or already exists in G4D) a command to display on screen its embedded menu instead of main menu? How to use configfile command to display and use the embedded G4D menu?

Thanks. Will it open an edited embedded menu of bigger then default menu size? If not, how to change that command to open an embedded menu of any size?

Is there a length (number of strokes) or size limit of an embedded G4D menu?

the max size of embedded of g4d menu is 4KB.

use configfile (md)4+8 to open an embedded menu,it can use any size <= 4KB.because the end of embedded is '\0'.
