Alex1471 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I created some genres to keep track on the many arcade games. Is there a way to set a default genre in hyperspin? It always starts with all games.
Avar Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Make whichever genre XML you want to start with the default mame.xml file, then have the complete database as a selectable genre.
Alex1471 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for the fast replay. I renamed MAME.xml to All Games.xml, my favorites to MAME.xml and added All Games in Genre.xml. Unfortunately this didn’t solve my problem: the Wheel now starts with my favorites (that’s good) but if I choose All Games in the genre-wheel I just get the favorites and not all games. Furthermore it’s a little bit confusion, that if MAME.xml is choose the message “current genre: All Games” is shown, even though only the favorites are shown. Do you know what’s the use of "start_on_favorites=false/true" in the MAME.ini? Maybe using this is a possible solution?
Avar Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Yeah HS is setup such that the "All Games" toggle takes you back to your primary xml; in this case mame.xml. You probably have 2x "All Games" on the genre wheel somewhere now. The method's functional but it's a bit of a workaround and requires a few tweaks. If you still want to go that route I can help you out once I'm at hope and able to poke through the files. Give the MAME.ini option a shot if its your favourites you're after.
