Feature Request - Sub Menus

[Oberth]

Hello again . . .

Not trying to see how many times I can get my name in print but this is a different thing to the post I just made a few seconds ago

Would it be doable to give GameEx a user configurable submenu system of sorts eg:

PC GAMES--->DOS GAMES--->BOULDER DASH

#######--->WINDOWS GAMES--->CARMAGEDDON TDR

CONSOLES--->ATARI 2600--->RIVER RAID

#######--->MEGADRIVE--->SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

or something along those lines? (ignore the hashes)

I think it would help make GameEx a little less cluttered on the front page and help give the user more control

Any replies, thoughts on this?

I like this.

I agree. It would be a nice feature for those of us running many emulators/apps. It would probably be necessary to have this as an optional flag, as I am sure there are those who would still prefer the flat menu.

Certainly would have to be optional, the idea would then be you could have either a fully flat menu, a menu system with loads of submenus or a combination of both like having your favorite consoles on the foremost menu with the not so good stuff hidden away.

As long as this thread is talking about organization, I'd love to have a long list of games put into submenu's by letter. i.e. instead of having 800 NES games in a list have the first view be : (0-9), a, b, c, d... and then when you pick a letter just display the games that start with that letter. This way no game would ever be much more than 5 clicks (up/down or pgup/pgdn) away.

I think someone asked for and Tom is planning on a similar feature to do Alpha paging so that each time you hit a page up/down it would skip to the next letter in the alphabet.
