Feature request: In-game text file reading

Hello

Enjoying the core to the fullest here, but I find my self printing walkthroughs in '90 style, a lot :lol:
Would it be possible to view a text file in the game folder from the core's menu, eg:

Code: Select all

Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver (America).chd
Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver (Amercia).chd.txt

Use the shoulder buttons for pgup/pgdown or something.

I might be the only one, but consulting text-based docs/walkthroughs/manuals while in-game would be very handy.

Thanks.

This would be a framework feature.
There is already some option for pdf manuals, maybe you can use that?

You can browse pdf and txt files from the "Help" menu in OSD. These files should go into fat/media/docs/core-name (Isuppose you can put them elsewhere too but a particular core will look there first)
