Title: changing front end
Post by: VonViVant on February 22, 2019, 06:35:43 PM
Hi all. I have a problem
I'm trying to see on my display only some emulators and not all.
I tried deleting the BIOS, but, it does not work.

I would also like to see all the consoles, arcade and other systems in the main menu. (now it's separate, arcade, pc, and consoles)

how I do this?

I want to have only one menu with everything, both arcade and consoles.

THX

I'm not 100% sure I follow what you're asking for, but I think I do.

Well, you can try using a multi-emulator like Mednafen or Mess, put all your ROMs in one place, use ";" to specify more than one extension qualifies as a ROM.  AttractMode won't be able to tell the difference and Mednafen will start up just fine.  The difficulty here will be in making sure you have your emulator configured to handle this just fine.

I think there's themes that do what you're asking, I haven't tried too many themes out, but I've seen videos of ones that clump them all together.  You might ask in the themes category which themes throw all the emulators in one bucket.

You can use Retroarch as your back-end.  It completely sucks to configure, but it's a viable option.
