Title: Editing (adding) rom 'category' within Attract Mode not saving?
Post by: timsatari on August 09, 2020, 07:25:16 PM

Hi - when pressing Escape+down to be able to edit categories etc... I add a custom 'category' if there's nothing in there (for example 'obscure') and it doesn't seem to save this change. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? thank you

EDIT - I solved this by not trying to add a 'category' but instead creating a tag. Then, once I created the rule, it worked!! Question - when I add a tag, where is this data saved against a rom in Attract Mode? Just want to know which file I can backup if necessary. thanks!

/attract/romlists/<system_name>/<tag_name>.tag

Creating proper romlists might be a better/easier option to get "category" info and sort with rules. Read this http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3628.msg25121#msg25121 (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3628.msg25121#msg25121).
