Additional changes from v1.95b are:
- Increase menu memory from 0x50 sectors to 0xA0 sectors to cater for bigger menus
- Fix bug when using 'set GRUB_USB=045' in MyE2B.cfg
- Greek language folder added (but not Greek choice in 'make utility' because it is only Beta status)
- Choose a preset wallpaper.mnu file added (also added by PimpMyDrive.cmd)
I added more payload files to my 'test' E2B USB flash drive which resulted in over 70 menu entries in the Main menu. I found then that the F10, F9 and F8 Main menu items, which were usually at the very bottom of the Main menu, had disappeared and pressing F8, F9 or F10 had no affect.
It turns out that I had exceeded the allotted amount of memory that E2B uses to hold all the menu items. v1.95c now has double the amount of memory - from 0x50 sectors of memory to 0xA0 sectors of memory (i.e. 40K to 80K). Since the grub4dos numbering system does not work well past menu entry #99, this should now be enough to allow 100 menu entries (0-99) in all menus!
Note that if you have used any sample .MNU files which still contain '(md)0x3000+0x50' or '(md)0xa000+0x50' then you may still experience 'shortened' menus if your menu is very large.
To fix this, change all occurrences of these two strings to use 0xA0 instead of 0x50 (i.e. use (md)0x3000+0xA0 or (md)0xa000+0xA0).
P.S. Tip: If you first make the \menu.lst file hidden on your E2B drive, then when you run the Update_E2B_Drive.cmd option to update your E2B drive, it will automatically hide most of the other files that are in the root of the E2B drive for you too.
Let me know if you see any issues with v1.95c.
