All in 1 directory #297

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I like to see only 1 directory where to LOAD GAMEs, just like "Genesis Plus GX 
v1.6.0" have. Now there is 5 directory where to load game. If theres a OPTIONs 
where we can choose which one we like to see in LOAD GAME menu, I like to see 
that :)

Thats one reason why I'm still using "Genesis Plus GX v1.6.0". I see every 
games in 1 directory and every game have a preview picture, otherwise than 
"genplus-gx-1.7.1".

Make my wish happen, please, or put the 6th directory wheres games are "ALL in 
1".

You can already do that. 

Separated ROM browsers are ONLY there:
- to keep separated copies of ROM directories for people who (like me) have 
them organized by types and do no want to go through all directories each time 
they switch from a Genesis game to a Sega CD or Master System one
-to display different cartridge types based on ROM type because it's prettier
-to display the appropriate preview pictures for games that have the same name 
on different systems (like Sonic the Hedgehog which exists on Genesis, Game 
Gear and Master System).

I was forced to do that because i cannot rely with file extension and with zip 
files, it would require to open each file while browsing to know their type 
before displaying preview picture, which makes ROM browsing stupidly slow and 
painful.

HOWEVER, it does NOT force you to load ROM files of a specific type, you can 
still load .sms ROM files from the Load MD menu, etc... So you can STILL use a 
single menu to browse all your ROM files like in 1.6.0 if you want. Just make 
sure all your preview picture files are copied from /genplus/snaps (which is 
not used anymore) to the correct location as mentionned in README 
(/genplus/snaps/md if you use Load MD, etc).
