Single menu game list
-
Hello everyone
My brother and I have big plans for an arcade cabinet or some sort of permanent fixture for a retropie. As I just finished the start of the software step to what we wanted, I thought I would share.
Our plan is to have a curated list of games to really pick out the favorites, but we want to have all these games in one menu. Obviously that's not possible, or should i say it wasn't!

This is my current work. You can now specify <command> and <theme> tags per game. It means you have to add them all manually sadly. But it works fine. The only problem I see is when you first enter a folder on has the folder theme, not the per game theme. but figured I'd share.

Just a suggestion, make an entry in the es_systems.cfg with all of the extensions you will need and put all the roms you want in the single folder.

@lilbud certainly, but that doesn't handle knowing which emulator to run for them. Though subsections in that I suppose might work as a method of doing things too.

I should clarify, its not just about different arcade games, while i do plan to build a cabinet, and hopefully a bunch of controller ports in to it, its not just arcade games, it would be games from any system
