Show Categories for Arcade only?

[LHensh]

I am wanting to display the default auto generated MAME categories after I select Arcade from the BB front screen, however only want to see this for the Arcade Platform.

All other platforms (which don't have any categories created) will remain the same i.e once opened will show the list of games.

Anh idea how I do this? Selecting Category View in BB messed up how all of the other platforms appear

In LaunchBox you have full control over how you want Platform Categories to display your platforms, playlists, and categories. That section is designed to be fully modular, and the changes you make in LaunchBox will then get reflected in Big Box.

Based on what you are saying, it sounds like you want to delete all categories except for the Arcade category. So in LaunchBox, you could delete the Handhelds category (for example) and its contents would then move to the root of that section.

You also have the ability to Edit a platform, go to its Parents tab, and select where you want that platform to show up in your hierarchy.

Once you have everything set up the way you like, switch over to Big Box and you'll notice that your Platform Categories section is now updated to reflect your changes.
