Title: Kymaera Help
Post by: twitami on November 08, 2004, 06:11:20 pm
Ok, I really like the look and feel of this frontend-simple, non-windows looking. There are a few things that I am having a hard time with though.

1. Is there an easy way to get rid of clones-I hate them and they slow things down so much.

2. I have a Hot Rod, but I can't seem to get the controls to work. I have tried using the input config thing, but I don't seem to be having any luck.

Any help would be great!

Thanks...Brian

Well, let's see,

1) There is no easy way to do this in Kymaera. You might have to use a utility like "Sortinfo" first.

2) Does your Hot Rod simulate a keyboard? Or does it send Joystick information? The joystick driver is currently disabled in Kymaera, It'll be re-enabled with the releasing I'm making this week.

  PMF, what if you added a 'parent' column in the game category list creator?

  Then you could just sort by that column and if it were empty then it's not a clone!

That's the first thing I thought of, I checked to see if I already had a "cloneof" field. It should be easy enough to add, I'm just hesitant to add more and more info to the gamelist xml files, I think they're too big already. I'll consider it.

Please consider it. I hate the clones. It adds so much extra crap to scroll through, etc. Othe rthan that, I love it !

Yes, please add parent to the list!
