Favorites all messed up!

[Robert]

I used the setup wizard to re-order my list of emulators so that all the Atari's were next to each other, the Nintendo's were next to each other, etc. BUT, then I looked at my favorites, sorted by system, and they were all wacky! The Atari 2600 games were listed under Colecovision, the Sega games were listed under NES, etc. It seems that the associations didn't survive the re-ordering. Any suggestions?

When I had this problem I just deleted the favorites list and rebuilt it.

I hope that helps ya...

Well, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Too many emulators and too many favorites to have to rebuild the list every time I add an emulator and re-sort the list. It would be better, of course, if the favorites list was just preserved upon re-order.

The issue there is that it saves the file as Emulator 1, Game 117 and so forth and so on... except in GameEx talk (as far as I can determine). Therefore, if Emu 1 Game 117 is NES Castlevania II, and you put VPinMAME there instead, then Emu 1 Game 117 becomes Getaway II or what have you. Since that's the case, GameEx won't know the difference between the emulators if you move them.

The problem is here that I really don't even know where or how GameEx saves this information. I just deleted everything in the DATA folder before I downloaded and updated GameEx when I got everything just the way I wanted it.

Sorry to bear bad tidings, but I hope I was helpful otherwise.

Since this is all within GameEx, why can't the request just be to have GameEx update the list whenever you reorder or add emulators? Or delete emu's as well. This shouldn't be a major task.

If an emulator is moved or removed and there are favorites associated with it update the list of favorites to change "Emu 2 Game 11" to "Emu 3 Game 11". This is something that is probably just an oversight anyway...
