HS: Add to favorites issue

[Wavfact]

Got an issue with adding games to favorites, been googling this subject for hours with no luck..   When I add a game to Favorites by pressing the Favorites key (setup in HyperHQ) and then view favorites, a get an endless wheel with that Game, I added Ms PacMan first which I could scrolling endlessly thru the favorites listing all Ms PacMan's..  So I went and added Galaga and again, endless amounts of Galaga..  I scrolled for quite a bit to see if Ms PacMan was will there but nothing..

Anyone have a suggestion where I should start to debug this issue?

I was able to add an empty line to mame favorites.txt and it adds and removes them.. but if I have 3 games, those 3 games are shown in an endless wheel..  rather than just the 3 games..  Is this correct operation of favorites?

Yes. If you only have a few games on a wheel, it will display them over and over. Wheels are round and what goes around, comes back around. One solution would be to add more games until it's less repetitious.

You can also try running HyperSpin as administrator to make sure it saves changes properly.

Sounds like your Favorites XML file might be getting duplicated entries or not saving properly. I’d suggest checking your Favorites.xml in the Databases folder for that system and see if the game entries are being written multiple times. Also, make sure you're not pressing the favorites key too many times by accident—it can add duplicates fast. Try manually cleaning the file and see if that fixes the endless scrolling issue. Hope this helps!
