Gamelauncher and favourites

[dwight]

Hi,

I'm using Gamelauncher mode with an ArcadeVGA card, and a CGA Arcade monitor. This limits what themes I can use, and with little kids around, gamelauncher is abou tht easiest for them to use. Is there any way of disabling the "remove from favourites" option on gamelists? I want to use a favourites list, I just don't want kids to be able to accidentally remove titles.

Also - Is there any way of getting Gamelauncher theme and Gamelauncher mode to only display the favourites list? SO MAME, SNES, Laserdisc etc menus won't be displayed, only the favourites list. I've tried using a custom menu, but that doesn't affect gamelauncher mode, and if I use another theme, like ArcadeVGA_Lores, I get a bigger problem with kids being able to select "Change View" from the main menu, which then kills performance when they go into an emulator list. So, my solution was to take advantage of gamelauncher mode and try to make my cab kid-proof. Anyone wth kids will know how amazing they are as cab-testers, they find problems no one thinks of!

Thanks for any tips.

Dwight.

Th only option you have here at the moment is to disable the game info page.

You can also disable the video thumb mode which will stop the performance issues.

Thanks, that works. The downside is I cam,t limit it to only show my favorites game list and I don't have a shutdown menu option, so the cab gets the power pulled when kids have had enough. These could be possible future enhancements for gamelayncher mode if anyone else is using this mode.

You can set a key combo to shutdown the machine. Maybe that will work. Look at custominput.ini in the config folder if so.
