Ability to just show the ROMs loaded (not the entire list)

[yogi1967]

Perhaps not quite a bug, but the app is almost unusable when you have to slowly scroll through the 2000 potential game titles to find the exact one you have loaded and want to play. Impossible if you are not quite sure which one in a set it is. Please can there be a simple filter to only show on the game select menu the game roms actually loaded? Thanks

Hi, so you'd like the app to cross reference all the game titles with the roms you copied to your device? Yes, that should be possible. I will try to get that in by this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, yes. So if I've only loaded 5 roms , I only want to see those 5 listed. Thanks.

Just updated the project to show only games with valid ROMs installed.

It does not work for me - (I'm using iPad for now). I have found that the problem is at line 470 in file GameScene.m. Currently, it looks like:

NSString *path = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:getROMpath()];
[path stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:gameDriverList[i].gameDriver->name]];

The problem is that stringByAppendingPathComponent does not modify path, it returns a new string (NSString is immutable). It should be something like:

NSString *path = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:getROMpath()];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:gameDriverList[i].gameDriver->name]];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathExtension:@"zip"];

Also, I have added "zip" extension, because I'm using zip ROMs, I don't know the variety of formats they can come...

Oh wow, I wonder how that happened. Haha. Obviously I was pretty distracted when I wrote that because you're right, no way that would work.

Latest version shows a filtered list for me ( iOS version ).

You can close it now, I guess...
