Can't seem to find a way to make custom filters

[VACRMH]

Want to have it so that in BigBox mode I can go under Arcade for example, and pick Fighting games. Or even better, I'd love to be able to break it down further from there. Such as Fighting - 2D, ect. Any help? Thanks!

Hi @VACRMH, you can create custom filters in LaunchBox via the side bar. You'd select Custom Filters from the dropdown at the top, and then click the + button on the sidebar to add a new one. Then of course just put Arcade in the Platform field and Fighting in the Genre Field, give it a name, and save it. That should give you a custom filter that displays all the Arcade Fighting games. Then in Big Box, just back out from the default platforms screen and select View Custom Filters, which will show you Arcade Fighting as an option. Obviously it's not hierarchical like you're ultimately looking for but it's a start at least. :)

Definitely a start! Thanks! Would there be a way I could have them available in the systems in big box? Like I'd choose Arcade>Fighters? If not, alright if I add it as a feature request? Thanks again :)

You could create a separate platform for them, yes. Just keep in mind that media doesn't currently follow when you change games' platforms, so you might have to re-download images and stuff. You would also have to make use of the new "Scrape As" option (see the change log). Otherwise, a better solution would be to do the nested thing you originally requested; yeah, of course, feel free to add anything you like to the feature requests. :)

I went ahead and added a feature request, thanks! Appreciate all your hard work!
