Creating MyScripts by Hand

From WADder Wiki

MyScript is the scripting language for MyMenu. A MyScript is a .mym package for use in patching the system menu with MyMenu. A .mym file is just a ZIP file with a renamed file extension, and a special format inside, described below.

MyScript (.mym) file format

ZIP container (renamed to .mym)

  - mym.ini
  - [custom image's in .png format]

The file of interest inside is mym.ini. That file is the main MyScript file, containing the instructions to MyMenu about how to patch the system menu. The format is standard INI format, described below:
