This is how the folder is setup

@thelostsoul I know, but without you I wouldn't be aware of it. :)

@Clyde said in [Solved] How to rename a Custom Collection?: You both just told me the same solution in different ways. It's good to know both. Yeah, I noticed a little later that we posted about a minute within each other. Of course he got there first, so now I owe him a Coke.

@nightshadowpt said in "All Games" Collection adds a platform tag to the title - Can it be removed?: it could be done by editing a config file as many other things in the Pie. The areas you're referencing are generally related to the emulators, ports and other elements that we often don't maintain. Backend settings for the RetroPie fork of Emulation Station have been discussed in the past and the general consensus so far has been that the developers find it to be a bad practice. Is there a way to put it in as a request for the next versions? You can start a thread over in the 'Ideas and Development' section of the forum. If it gains any traction there, it's possible that a developer may take a crack at adding it. However, the change would still have to be approved by the lead maintainers.

I actually emphasized quantity, but I did so only to an extent, excluding any un-translated games, most prototypes, and most unlicensed games. In my mind, I wanted to create a kind of history museum or archival library, showcasing the console's life through its titles. You can flip to any one console and see the styles of box art, the genres and trends that were popular, the character designs that reflected the era, the relevant pop culture icons of the time, and whatever else. Sure, I won't ever play the vast majority of the games I added, but it's a beautiful and eloquent way to look back on gaming history from the late 1970's to the early 2000's.

Hi mate I removed all the unwanted systems off for my cabinet. I found people going straight into stuff like Amiga and Playstation where you need keyboard or Analogue inputs. I have Arcade, nes & snes, master system & mega drive. Simple is better on a cab...i think.

hi all is this issue resolved as ive got the same problem with emulationstation windows the custom collections are not there when i shut down and reload i have to go to setting and add them everytime

@jonnykesh hey, thanks. I'm a graphic designer, so the art part is no problem. Just needed some guidance on the formatting, placement and additional files to make it functional. this helps.

I've seen quite a few requests to allow the user to choose the first selected system. Unsure about how to implement that (i.e. need to think about that), but noted. [As you've come to see the past few weeks, though, "noted" just means I've made a note of it and added it to a list of things to be done. Unfortunately I haven't been having any time to contribute to ES in terms of testing or developing recently, but hopefully when I have some more time I can pick up some of these things.]

This is what I did.

@cyperghost said in Share your collections: Oh well not really neccessary. Are you sure? I could have sworn this was a roadblock for me when creating these manually in the past. Still, it's been a while, you may be right.

@udb23 said in [Theme Changes] Attention Theme Makers: Upcoming Game Collections in ES: @foldi84 Yes it is the default. You can directly access the logo here. THANKS!!!

Great work! I'll try to install it and maybe adapt it to Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive and Atari 2600. Thanks!
