    Is there a way to add the entire contents of a folder (say *.zip) to a custom collection or can you only add individual files?

      Custom collections support only individual files. You can however list the folder and add the full path of each file to the collection's .cfg file - the file is just a list of paths.

        Thanks @mitu for confirming. I'll dump pipe the folder contents to a txt file and copy/paste. I was just hoping that there was a more dynamic way of doing it so Ian drop new roms in and have the collection pick them up automatically.

        Marked as solved.
