Sorry if this is not the right forum, as i don't know if this is already a feature or not. I can move it to another forum if needed.
Also, i'm talking about BigBox, and this is a Launchbox subforum.
I know this is possible by using custom platforms and playlists, but that doesn't cover the use case i'm proposing, and it is quite long to setup.
My idea is that once i'm browsing whatever set of games and i select a game that is considered a container, i could access subfolders (like "Hacks", "Translations", "Versions" etc).
Example:
Browsing Nes (platform) -> Super Mario Bros 3 -> once selected i don't get the game page but instead another page that lets me run the main game or access subfolders/subplaylists
Is it possible already somehow? Is it possible by coding? -
Is there the possibility (and how beneficial it would eventually be in terms of resources usage) to implement a sort of "read only" running mode (no importing, no edit, nothing except looking at the db and launching the games) to lower the ram usage?

Neat!
I'm getting my Mister in a couple of days...this way i can use a dedicated tablet with Launchbox for Android or a dedicated minipc build to use it as a graphical frontend with all the awesomeness of Launchbox and the exceptional quality of hardware emulation! -
Hello Faeran and everyone else!
This theme is exactly what i was looking for...sleek, dark, elegant and fast, therefor i'm gonna mod it for my personal build (and eventually share whatever good comes out).
My only actual problem is with the Community Theme Creator files...if i do select a playlist in the menu everything crashes and i get an exception error. Can't paste the text content because the program becomes unresponsive, so i'll attach a screenshot.
I'm using version 1.0.8.2 but this happened with previous versions as well.
Any idea how to fix this and why is it happening?

Games as containers for subfolders
in Features

Hello Faeran, thanks for the response.
I'm actually using it the way you suggested but it lacks the "dignity" some romhacks deserve and can't handle other media.
I also have many game guides in pdf that would have been cool to integrate in a single view/space.
For some games i've created custom categories and playlists to match the kind of integration i'm looking for, but of course they don't fit in the normal browsing of roms.
Maybe i'll propose this feature in the appropriate forum, having a container view to merge multiple kind of media and have subfolders.
