Walrus13 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi everybody, Am loving Bigbox :), but was wondering if there was a way to add a favorites menu in the platform listing? Like an option when ticked it would compile all my favorites from all the various platforms and display them under one tab, i know i can display all my favs with a custom filter, but i think it would be fantastic to have it as either a quick launch button in bigbox, or displayed as a "favorites" platform, so i can quickly view all the games i love to play from across all platforms, but it might be a silly idea.

DOS76 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 You can add all of your favorites either one at a time or through the importer if you used the importer though you would have to choose one emulator then change the emulators accordingly for each platform or game either individually or through the bulk edit wizard. Basically it can be done but could be a shit ton of work if you have a lot of favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 On 2nd thought couldn't you just use your all platform and then use the favorites custom filter and it would display cross platform favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy of an update though, looking at the Platforms list in BigBox with your cursor all the way to the top, favorites show up on the right hand side.

Walrus13 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for replies, Hmm maybe it isnt possible without an update. Maybe if an "all" tab is added to bigbox mode, the same one that Launchbox has, then it might be easier to do, oh well was just a thought :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 An all tab wouldn't help in this specific case actually. Filtering or a Favorites specific tab to view would be the best possible solution so that it appears like when you open another system. Like I said though, if you highlight the top most line (should be blank) you'll still see your favorites on the left and you can navigate that menu. If you want a specific favorites view in BigBox though you're more than welcome to request it. Click Feature Request at the top of this page.

Walrus13 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hi SentaiBrad, Thanks for quick reply :) But i dont seem to have a blank line at the top of my bigbox setup, when it loads if i click up or highlight up, it goes to the bottom of my list of emulators, i dont seem to have a space or see any favs...although i could be missing something basic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 https://i.imgur.com/JkKohSo.png Nothing? There might be an option for it, but I don't remember changing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 There may be an option for that but I don't know what it would be either. On my main gaming computer I have that black space at the top but on my TV setup there is no blank space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus13 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for pic.....no I dont have that space at all, and i just had a look around the options and cant seem to find anything that could make it. I sort of remember awhile back having something like that space, and it turned out it was caused by adding a game without a platform specified and it sorta bugged out like that. Like how it says it has 2 games for your blank space, makes me feel like you might have something similar, not sure... am far from an expert lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
