II have implemented a 1-level menu currently because I am unsure what sensible defaults exists for the other programs (eg. Stress, with its large number of parameters - number of CPUs, threads, HDD I/O etc.). So I will hold off the 2nd level menu until I see a more concrete picture of the possible defaults.

The help files are both accessible from the "CPU" menu and the "CPUstress" menu.

It's good to give CPUstress its own menu 'cos the actual version of the image can be indicated independent of the versions of the apps inside.


My humble opinion. I don't like that additional level of the menu. It will just add confusion.

I suggest another way:
Image

Note the differences:
  • The CPUstress image become an entry that boots into its own `menu`.
  • It's in the same level as other stress-test programs, so the user won't need to "crawl" the menus in order to find the program he/she needs.
  • The old version Mersenne Prime Test 23.9.2 is included in the menu.

You can download and try my customized cpu.cfg with this proposal:

Also, I'll need to rewrite the help files for this proposed change. The help file will mention what programs are included in CPUstress as well as what cheat codes are available.
