not sure, now.
the right design is clearer -- added group frames on the left, and a label to explain the code list.
however the group frames might be superfluous and wasting screen space.

hahaha. UI design is fun
why the fuck is that label fucking up in the one situation where it would fit entirely in one line

different design for this cheat import dialog
* game entry list becomes a combobox - having it take up an entire side felt wasteful
* code description and info will go to a dedicated frame
* splitter thing is resizable (in theory)

upcoming melonDS feature: importing cheat codes from usrcheat.dat
this list shows entries relevant to your game (it works by game code). the checkmark shows the "recommended" entry (ie. CRC match). we're still unsure about the ideal symbol for this...
still gotta code the other list

did I mention? this is what the radio's circuitry is like. no PCB, all point to point.
people who have seen this have been either amused or horrified, or both.

I had to change the audio amplifier's config to make it run at 32KHz (instead of the standard 48KHz). heh
