Layout for Genres

[legin]

Hi all

I have searched the forums for this but I am still unable to find an answer.  I was hoping to sort my games by genre and have each platform listed under each genre like this:

Root
>Light Gun Games
--All
--Arcade
--Microsoft Xbox
--Nintendo Wii
--Sammy Atomiswave
--Sega Model 2
--Sega Model 3
--Sega Naomi
--Sony Playstation
--Sony Playstation 2
--Sony Playstation 3
--Teknoparrot
>Driving Games
--All
--Arcade
--Microsoft Xbox
--Nintendo Wii
--Sammy Atomiswave
--Sega Model 2
--Sega Model 3
--Sega Naomi
--Sony Playstation
--Sony Playstation 2
--Sony Playstation 3
--Teknoparrot
>Fighting Games
--All
--Arcade
--Microsoft Xbox
--Nintendo Wii
--Sammy Atomiswave
--Sega Model 2
--Sega Model 3
--Sega Naomi
--Sony Playstation
--Sony Playstation 2
--Sony Playstation 3
--Teknoparrot

 

Is this possible.  I thought I might be able to do it in Platform Category but I couldn't figure it out

You can do it but it will be a bunch of work.  You need to make a category for the genre. Then within the category you will make a custom auto-generated playlist for each platform.

Thanks for the reply.  Sounds like that might be out of my skill set until I get a little better with launchbox.

I have made playlists so far for each genre and added the genre to metadata for each game to sort them, but I thought it would be nice to have each platform visible under each genre.

Maybe I need separate launchbox setups for each genre?

No. It's not difficult. It's just time-consuming.
