Creating a Menu

Create a Menu that will be displayed when you playback your disc.
Title buttons are positioned on the Menu. Title buttons are positioned when a folder is added in the [Choose Folder] screen. The maximum number of Title buttons that can be set in a Menu is 6, and any Title buttons that cannot be displayed are automatically positioned on the next Menu. You can create a maximum of 30 Menu screens, and set the Background, BGM and number of Title buttons for each Menu, as well as the Style and text for each Title button. Most settings are done with your mouse, so it is easy to create an original Menu.
