Implement SURF mode

[nesbox]

to browse local and website cartridges

[nesbox]

I'm not realized how to show covers for now, so I just implemented very simple version of the Surf
Only browsing and loading games

other features will be added later

This serves a great purpose even without covers. Will Android touch buttons be usable in this mode?

[nesbox]

@trelemar yes it works with any gamepad input, touch or real,
also, SURF will automatically load if you press any gamepad button in the console (useful if you don't have keyboard and mouse, on XBox for example)

What about ping pong the cover? Scrolling it inside a clipped window?
(It's awesome BTW)

[nesbox]

@effer I tried to draw 1/2x scaled covers at the right, but they look ugly, don't know

[AlRado]

Can be added to the cartridge the second cover - a small one, and if it is not specified, then display the main one in a reduced form?

[nesbox]

Another way to draw covers, but cartridge names become unreadable

@AlRado I think it's too difficult

[AlRado]

Сan be like this?

[nesbox]

OK, added some kind of transparent background for the names to make it visible

[HomineLudens]

@nesbox , honestly they all seems... let's say: not perfect? .
Can you try to show the cover in the window without scaling? Then apply some scrolling movement to the image. You'll see only a portion of the cover at 1:1 but moving it around will show all the image.
Not sure I've been clear, maybe I could try to draft something tonight.

@effer how about this one?

[trelemar]

@nesbox This one! 😀

You could combine this with pressing Y to show the full cover until another button press?
