Hi everybody.
I have a complete MAME 2016 set of roms with snap and title PNGs. As you can imagine they are not easily manageable by any frontend without some categorization.
I wrote myself some scripts to create playlist for roms based on catver.ini categories, and they work fine. Retroarch reads the file I created, shows one playlist for each file with all games inside and also matches the thumbnails. All fine and dandy, but still there are some issues to solve.
I have for example some playlists that are very long. I could separate them in several playlists, but then the number of the playlists, which is quite long already, would become uncomfortable to navigate in the XMB menu.
So, I have some questions
-
can playlist be nested? Can I put a sub-playlist under a playlist so to get a navigable menu like those of the config menu, for example?
-
Can every playlist entry have it’s own icon instead of the generic -content icon?
-
Can some other info be added on the frontend other that the left and right thumbnail? I’d like to add a third picture or maybe some other info from files, like year or manufactuer of the game. I’m skilled in programming and html so if to achieve this there’s some coding to do it does not worry me…
