Emulator Groups

[Stu1983]

I'm trying to use emulator groups and a custom menu but it's not having the desired effect

Here's the idea, I'll have a menu set up similar to this:

|Games
      |Nintendo
               |All Nintendo Games (Emu group 1 [containing Emus 1,2,3,4])
               |GameBoy (Emu 1)
               |NES (Emu 2)
               |SNES (Emu 3)
               |N64 (Emu 4)
      |Sega
           |All Sega Games (Emu group 2 [containing Emus 5,6,7,8])
           |GameGear (Emu 5)
           |Master System (Emu 6)
           |Mega Drive (Emu 7)
           |Saturn (Emu 8)

The plan was that I would have the 'All Games' menu items pointing towards an emulator group containing all the games from each system.

Problem is after adding each system to an emulator group, when you try and select the individual system like SNES, GameEx shows the whole Nintendo group.

The only way I can see round this it to duplicate each system, one of the copies can then be added to a group and the other can be used as an individual emulator, this doesn't seem like the best solution though as any time I change the config for one I have to remember to change the other.

Any other ways around this? Is this the expected function of emulator groups eg. is adding a emulator to a group supposed to disable access to that emulator other than through the groups?

Actually yes, its supposed to do that at present. If you add an emulator to a group, it disables individual access to the emulator. You are correct that for now you will have to set them up as other emulators. shouldnt take long using the import/export in the advanced config.

I just added a second emulator for each system in my emulator groups but now when I choose your all games menu I end up with duplicate games for each of these system
