You can change all the text in the Config Utility under Text/Language

found it , thx stu

so there are things that you won't find thru the setup wizard...

[chriss]

just tried it out, changed all the names to my needs but gameex still shows the old names (4 Player simultaneous eg).

i know this is one of these questions probably nobody knows an answer to but perhaps someone has encountered a similar problem

btw i use valhalla theme

You need to set your Text/Language to Custom.

awwww. thanks for pointing this out headkäse

i should have read the little question mark at the side of the language selection bar!

Just to answer your question about the setup wizard. Yes, the wizard was designed to be used for typical setup steps. You can do everything you would typically need to do with it, but the truly advanced stuff is not there to keep it clean. If you can't find it in the setup wizard, it will definitely be in the Advanced Config. I used to use the AC, but it was kinda ugly on my TV, so I switched to using the setup wizard. I really like the search feature and find myself using it even when I know where the setting is cause it's quicker than looking through the list!

sounds like a good plan! i should start doing that!

sometimes i click through the whole setup wizard because i can't remember where a certain option was...takes ages!

I have been hoping to find an easy way to change the order of the Menu items (i.e. I would want "All Multimedia" on top). I was hoping that this could be achieved by editing the Text/Language config, but, since it doesn't automatically organize the menus alphabetically (as I originally thought), it had no effect. So, my guess is that the only way to re-organize the menu items is to create my own (or edit an existing) theme... Is that correct?

No. There is simply no way to rearrange the menu. The only thing that can be reordered is the emulators.
