2 Questions Collection wheels and icon, png

[KRIS85]

Hello i got  2 Questions:
- How to make collection for example: mortal kombat etc in 1 wheel?
- Where i find this icon wheels, topic in this forum is error
 Where do I find some tutorial how to do it this ?

I can answer 1.

To make a collection wheel its pretty much like any other.

1. Create a new Item in HyperHQ with the wizard that has a sublist.

2. Setup the Database with Items. (Hint you can use tools to create databases if you want.)

3. Add your media (Main Menu Wheel and Theme, Default item(s) theme or subthemes and wheels, Pointer etc etc.)

4. Setup your launcher to point to the Item/Rom directory and then setup alternate emulators if the games are split across different platforms.

Hmm  Thank You for a simple tutorial I understand that it is best is rom eg: mortale will be in 1 folder or better leave where where are and only in the database I will add names by hand ?

I found it easier when working with a launcher/back end to have the Items/games in the same folder as a duplicate.

Example for a Street Fighter One but same idea for any game pack.

Game Folder

However I think you can add multiple folder paths also in you launcher and then the database will search throughout.

Not sure if that increases load time for the wheel or not.

I would show you my RL Settings but I have disabled my collection wheels to make my system more compact for now. (It was getting bloated and hard to manage)

I understand generally if i config everything is set up I also plan to do so compact ie: instead of genre wants to divide into arcade, console etc but from what I know it is a little difficult for novice hmm

It would be faster and easier, I'm missing Hyperspin selection under wheels: fighter enter wheels collection MK, TEKKEN etc I wish you could do that if you understand what I mean

[Bungles]

I have looked into 3-layered wheels in the past but it seems its only viable with multiple Hyperspin versions running together?

The end result does seem quite spectacular though.

Other than that It was more so that I had too many main menu wheels and it took forever to get through, as I play on my PC Only at the current I removed all the handhelds also so its just Arcade, Consoles and PC Titles. I do have a mini arcade setup but its more of a tribute to a fallen friend as it was built around his Old PS2 Joystick Remade and working with my personal desktop allows for so much more computing power.

WooW mini cade i see you love Challenge Fightcade, my quazimodo is not finished but can be played and Also plans to buy a package for the fightcade to play with others

Now I have a mess in wheels so I'm looking for some solution to split this mess and supposedly is possible but for me a little complicated

Most of them I never played and will never play.. so I decided to just hide them away.

Can always revert if needed.
