The delay is due to so many systems and games, it takes a few seconds between clicking and the video / system showing up as it searches through the drive. I'm considering moving everything over to a SSD drive, but I can live with it for now

is it stored on a local drive or a network drive?

Love it! I agree, much nicer than Frotz. Thank you, kind Retro Lord of Infocom

Right on, glad I could help! Now you can collect the hundreds of other commercially-released text adventure games

I've had *some* success with this. I only have 8 games, I managed to get one working then moved on, expecting them all to but that doesn't seem to be the case... If you find an error, or have something better, let me know.

Thanks. I'll check it out when I get home.

Local. I've had to move my images and pictures to another local drive using symlinks as the main games drive is getting low. I've noticed the videos seem to get slower the more games I add, Once I'm done I'll put in a SSD for the videos and see if that helps.

Fantastic set up. Would it be possible to upload you xml files for your systems.

Tweaked, added, removed... final build  - 

 I'm stepping away from this for now, need to life for a while

I could not live with that lag between changing platform and the platform video changing. Nice collection though.

Can anyone help with trying to speed up the lag? The playlists (270+ wheels) move within 1-3 seconds which is fine, but platforms take 10-13 seconds to show their videos. Is this purely down to the amount of games??
