Combining Games in Multi-Platform Playlists Only

[EtherBoo]

I decided to set up some multi-platform playlists for things like Fighting Games.  This leaves me with several copies of the same game since I'm using full console sets.  For example, Mortal Kombat has 3 versions, the arcade, SNES, and Genesis.  

I'd like to combine them in the playlist so they show as 1 entry, however when doing so, they're removed from their respective console platforms. 

Is there a way to combine them in the playlist only?

Not via Auto-Populate rules. You can create a manual playlist and only add the versions you want though.

Hmm, I was hoping to be able to select the other versions as well as you normally can with the combined games via the little Arrow next to the Play button.  

What if I converted it into a manual playlist?

You'd just add the games you want to see on the grid. That being said there is no logic to combine several platform items into one grid item. You wouldn't be able to right click it and say "Launch the SNES version"

Darn - OK, that's what I was hoping for.  Thanks for the info,

There are ways to kinda/sorta do this but it's HEAVILY manual work and the app overall isn't really intended to be used with that workflow
