Use and display sub folders #15

Closed Voljega closed 6 years ago

Voljega commented 6 years ago

It might be good to be able to handle subfolders in rom directories, it facilitates the navigation (I personnaly use it to sort games by genre) They could be shown and you could enter/exit them with A and B like systems

For now they are not recognised at all, games in subfolders simply not appear, nor the subfolders themselves

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

The issue with sub-folders is they add size to the path string. This can cause an issue in the emulators where the RAM is very limited. Therefore, I do not plan to support this feature for the technical reason stated.

Voljega commented 6 years ago

oh ok, thank you for the response, I wasn't aware ram size and handling was that critical

What about limiting folder name to three chars ?

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

It would lead to customer confusion if an arbitrary limit was used. There is no indication of the limitation or explanation of why a folder does not show.

I should point out that its possible for anyone to write their own menu program with the features they desire.
