Is it possible to create custom folders? I'd like to be able to create folders like 80s Games, Fighting Games, Good Drunk Games, etc. If it's not possible, perhaps an enhancement request?

Thanks!

This is probably not what you were wanting, but technically it should be possible, but it's a bit of work to do. It can be done for non-mame emulators using batch files, and having all the command line stuff in them (for each individual game). I don't know much about mame and haven't tried it, but I assume you could also do it with the same method. Takes a bit of time making the bat files though. See the thread 'launching pc games' where Tom says how to run them with bat files, and just use the same method for whatever game in whatever emu (with the extra command line stuff for it of course). I've also done this to combine DOS and Windows games in one menu - DOS games launching the dosbox emulator from a batch file, and windows games simply loading straight from the batch file.

-edit-
forgot to mention that emulators that need to use the 'send keys' thing to work probably wont work properly. And any using 'Map Keys' wont have the keys mapped, so you might need to exit those with ALT-F4. There's only about 2 using Send keys, and 1 with map keys, out of the downloadable configs though. Anyone know any ways around this?
