| - | RetroFE currently supports one type of playlist: one list of your favorite games per Collection.\\ | + | RetroFE supports playlists, a sort of sub collection within a collection. You can step through them using the previous/next playlist keys defined in your [[controls|controls.conf]] file. You can use this feature to e.g. show a list of all games from a certain manufacturer or a certain genre. |
| - | This file is located in playlists/favorites.txt and will be automatically created when you add your first game to the list.\\ | + | |
| - | \\ | + | |
| - | The controls configuration allows you to assign keys to add games to this list, remove them from this list, and switch between the full list and this playlist.\\ A setting in the general settings.conf allows you to automatically switch to your favorite games if this list exists.\\ | + | |
| - | **PS**: Support for more playlists is planned in a future release. | + | Playlists are defined via txt files in the playlists directory of your collection, and like include.txt files simply contain a list of the games you want in that playlist. If a game is pulled from another collection via a sub/merged collection (.sub file), use _<collection name>:<game name>. |
| + | Example: playlists/example.txt | ||
| + | _Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario World | ||
| + | _Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario Bros | ||
| + | Super Turrican | ||
| + | This defines a playlist called example, containing the Super Mario World game from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System collection, Super Mario Bros from the Nintendo Entertainment System collection, and Super Turrican from this collection (available in the roms section and/or defined via the include.txt file). | ||
| + | |||
| + | A special type of playlist is the favorites playlist (playlists/favorites.txt). Games can be added/removed from this playlist directly from RetroFE using the addPlaylist and removePlaylist controls, and a separate key favPlaylist allows you to switch between the favorites list and the full game list. You can even use the autoFavorites = yes parameter in your [[global_settings.conf|global settings.conf]] file to automatically switch to your favorite games when you enter a collection. | ||
