GL: How do you split off your lists?

[RayB]

Hi. I just got GameLauncher up and running, and already I find the list of games rather LONG. It's especially tedious if you are in the "A" games and want to play something down in the "R"'s. Know what I mean?

I was wondering how people tackled this. Do you split off everything into categories? Is there a way to maybe make list browsing quicker?

RayB,

I use GameLauncher as well.  What I did was to grab a copy of the catver.ini file from  www.catver.com.  GameLauncher limits the number of categories, so I modified the catver file to output only about 10 different categories.  Once that was done to my liking, I ran Tri ROMS Auto, which you can also get from the Downloads page of the catver site.  This broke the roms out into multiple sub-folders based on the 10 categories in my modified catver file.  From there, it's really easy to set up multiple config files in GameLauncher for each category, each referencing a different folder for the ROM list.

I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I'm pretty much a noob at this myself, and this method seemed easiest to me.
