Combine Arcade and Console games for platform category view?

[weezerjerry]

Hi everyone!

I prefer the platform "category view" for my games in my arcade cabinet. I do have a couple of consoles on there and would prefer to not start by selecting "arcade" or "console" and would prefer to just jump into the category view but have it include arcade and console categories...

How do I do this for BigBox?

Thanks!

I managed to put GameCube under the Arcade section but BigBox still launches to the platform view and only has "arcade" then once I launch that category it is exactly as I want, just need to ditch the initial view.
 

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

In BigBox settings under the view options there should be an item for “Default Startup View” you can change what BigBox boots into there.

I have done that. It still launches to the platform screen even though there is only one platform "Arcade" (now that I have figured out to put Gamecube under the Arcade parent), then I click to get the wheel with all of the platform categories. I just want it to launch into the platform categories.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Figured it out, just moved all of the platform categories to root under the “parent” tab. Works great.
