Gotek and HxC working together

[Jeff_HxC2001]

And btw you can now use the direct browsing mode without using the manager since you have an OLED screen : use the "normal" cfg file or remove it completely from the stick.

Good point, but how do you change directories and select disks with only 2 buttons

Thanks I found the menu's - if I have a 128 x 32 pixel OLED, how many characters is that in the LCD size menu?

By default there is an auto selection function : after 4 seconds the current displayed folder/file image is selected. This timeout value can also be changed into the setting menu.

You can go up to 21 characters per line.

Cool, I did that - tbh I cant really tell the difference but imo it still looks great!

EDIT: ok I can see it uses the full screen width now.
