Remove systems from menu #43

Open arelas opened 6 years ago

arelas commented 6 years ago

Would it be possible to remove systems from the menu if the skeleton directories don't exist? Or if easier / more appropriate, read a file on the sd card indicating which entries to display. This could be a simple flat file.

And also go directly to the games list if only one system exists.

The solution I am considering is returning to the same spot where the menu was before a title was launched.

That would be great. The reason I brought this up is that it would be nice to not have a menu item at all if you never intend to use a certain emulator.

For example, lets say I never want to play ColecoVision roms on this device. It would be nice to have a way to have that menu entry never show up.

Please feel free to remove this issue if this isn't a direction you want to go in.

Returning to the same spot would be a great improvement! Removing unused systems from the menu would be nice too. Maybe it could be hidden when a rom folder is empty? That way users wouldn't have to touch the skeleton folders.

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

Currently, I am more inclined to "gray out"/disable a menu than completely remove it. This would be the case when a ROM folder does not exist or is empty.

If/when future emulators are added, I imagine this issue will be of increasing importance.

Moving unused/greyed-out emulators to the end of the list would be good as well

jigglycrumb commented 6 years ago

If they just were skipped when navigating with the D-pad left/right, that would be good enough for me

Another option with the latest device firmware would be to package each emulator individually. This would require some additional code for file selection in the emulators.
