Would it be possible to be able to remove games from the lists through use of an additional text file in the config directory? That way, besides filtering the list as you currently do, additional games could be removed by typing the rom name in the list and it would not be included the next time the list is rebuilt. An additional thing that would be really cool would also be a key combination that could remove roms from the list on the fly. With the list filtered down to 1884 games there are still many that once I play them I find out they're not really that good and I would like to remove them from the list without actually deleting my roms. The key combo would have to be something out of the ordinary like player 2 start and player 1 joystick down then maybe a confirmation where you have to do an OK (joy left - right).

I don't know how difficult it would be to do a key combo but I think the manual filter list would be useful with or without it. Mainly because I keep my cabinet up to date with roms and when I need to burn a set I grab them from there. I know the alternative would be to simply delete the rom but again I like to use my arcade controls to do stuff :-)

Thanks!

Hi,

This has come up before. I don't plan on doing such a thing for the moment.

The ohter alterantive, is add the games that you do like as favorites.
