Deleting systems (Noob)

[hippyd]

I have Hyperspin with 56 systems and want to delete 50 of them. Found a youtube vid on how to do it and it looked so easy, just open up rocketlauncher and find the system and click and delete. Problem is I don't have rocketlauncher. Is there another way to access the systems to delete them?

Hello

In Hyperspin\databases\main menu you have the main menu.xml file.
There you can edit it with a text editor and delete the lines with the systems you want to remove.

To leave the HS clean, you will also have to delete:
In the folders databases, media and roms the folders of these systems
In the settings folder the .ini files of these systems

I hope it has been helpful for you

I think you can also use HyperHQ, but I've never used it to manage HS systems.

Hey thanks for that, I did a test run and got rid of a few systems off the menu. Much appreciated.

This will allow you to "hide" the systems rather than outright delete them, just in case you maybe wanted them for another day. You can also go one step further on this and edit the xml in excel to help rearrange the order of your remaining systems. I recently did this and shuffled a few things around then re-saved it all as main menu again.
