hello,

I have 1 big mame folder where all my arcade games are.
i would like to sort those games to different platforms like; snk; cps1; cps2 ;cps3 ; midway...

Is there any way to create a the platform and let launchbox filter those games from the mame folder where all my  games are?

Thx

if I'm interpreting your question correctly, I think there's a few different ways you can go about this. Here are a couple:

  1. When importing your games, LaunchBox will ask if you would like to automatically create certain playlists that will categorize your games just the way you are suggesting.
  2. You can manually create playlists that will auto-populate based on a set of criteria you choose. You would Right click your Arcade platform and choose Add > Playlist. Provide any details you would like, then click on the Auto-Populate tab and put in as many filters in there that give you the desired outcome.

You can try either of these out, and other may have different suggestions as well.
