How many is in your select list? Do you have the master on there just in case someone wants to play something you don't have on your list?

Well, mine has limited controls- 4 way stick, spinner, two buttons, so only about 40-50 games (need to do a final count). I'm focusing on a "best of" a certain kind f game.

If you have a full romset, it's easier just to have all of them on there so you don't have to worry about missing drivers.

I keep a separate gamelist in my front-end (MALA) of around 200 games.
Guests only ever see that gamelist unless they ask for something that isn't on it.

If they ask for something or an interesting game pops up on BYOAC, all I have to do is switch over to the "All Games" list, right click on the game, and add it to the smaller list.  When I add new ones, I kick out some of the ones that never get played.  I always keep it under 200 games.  Anymore just seems overwhelming to anyone browsing through them.

Most of the CHD's aren't playable anyway, so I only have the CHDs for games that I play on there.

+1 on the have them all....I personally went crazy with lists to avoid having to use the mega long list. I created a favorites for me, favorites list for when friends are over, favorites list for the wife, an index to search by letter, and custom lists by genre/controls. (I use Mala as well)

Sometimes half the fun is picking out random games that you never heard of and trying them out. I have actually found quite a few new favorites that way. Enjoy games beyond your normal scope of classics.

I'm not sure what front end you are using, but I should hope that it supports lists. Many even support filters, so you can hide clones, preliminary driver status, japanese trivia games, etc etc.

IMHO, the best solution is to have a full rom set, but then create a series of lists... including a "favorites" list for the games you play most often.

I'm doing this in wah!cade and it works great.
upper2bits:
I'm using HyperSpin and I'm just getting started with lists.  Currently my Main list is just the games I can think of but I would prefer to have them all in case someone asks.  I was thinking of removing the genres and making that Favorites, Party, Master. Can you add games to different lists on demand in HS?
