It somehow doesn't make sense to have the game running in background, so we could just as well pause it once we're outside fullscreen window?

I'm hesitant to pause the game when leaving fullscreen because video's don't pause - unless you hit the pause button on the remote, which ofc works on games as well.

Well, dont know if these options are posible, but I'm going to put them anyway:

• Save/load game
  
• Change game
  
• Quit
  
• Show fps
  
• Screen size options
  
• Cheats
  
• Online multiplayer (Netplay is it called?)
  
• a quick link for the controller options in case a game plays better with different settings(or a way to set game profiles if its posible) or setting up player 2 controller
  

Re: save/load - Once I turned the bookmark manager into a save state manager that showed you all your save states with a thumbnail, date and time played. I dropped it because the save state db needed much work. Once the db for the game library is done, i'll resurrect my save state work.

Re: screen size options - already exists. the aspect ratio can be changed just like for videos (default is the Z key, I think)

Re: netplay - this might already be in progress

Re: controller options - I'll make sure this is included. Eventually I'd like to add per-game controller profiles

You could maybe mix them, having the menu list for more in depth options, and the overlay with the pause, rwn/fwd,save/load,exit, and some commonly used options. Whatever you find easier and possible.

I think combining the best of both elements would be best. Don't expect much anytime soon, I'm purposely saving most of the GUI work til last

As for the xbox button, well it could be binded to two buttons pressed like left button + xbox button for the list menu, and right button + xbox button for overlay menu, or something similar.

I modeled joystick input after touch input, so gestures (holding, multi-pressing, rotating analog sticks, etc) are a possibility.

I've found the best approach is to start with the data. Define the XML, then program around your schema.

Here's the current joystick.xml: https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/blob/ret...ystick.xml

How would holding and multipress look? Holding should probably be defined like <guide mod="hold">ActivateWindow(Home)</guide>. maybe multipress could be like <combo buttons="start back lefttrigger righttrigger">ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)</combo>

if you write the xml, i can code it
