Hi - I have moved this post from software:

You may getting a faster response and more responses on the maximus arcade section of the byoac board.  If you have future questions, post here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=46.0

That said, to answer your question.  No.  That feature is not available in maximus arcade.  Just favorites per system.  IE, Nes favorites, MAME favorites, etc.

However, a workaround that would do what you asked for...
You could make the "batch files" section encompass all your favorites and do what you are asking, but that would require making a batch file for each game you want in your favorites.  That would be somewhat more time consuming than simply hitting a button and having it show up, but it would work.  I have had some MAME games, NES games etc in my batch files section and it works fine.

Hi there,

is it possible to have a master favorites or games list that spans all the installed emulators?

Thanks.

Has anyone tried anything like this? Perhaps its possible to write a batch file that scans several rom folders.

Thanks.

I'd love the example batch - ALSO I'll probably write a PHP script to auto generate the batch files so you can add that to your tutorial :D

HOWEVER, i might also look into gameex as I think that does it by default
