RetroFE forums

Sorry if this info is already somewhere in the forum but I am having challenges getting RetroFE to list all my Mame/Arcade games. I am using the default collection folder that came with my RetroFE. It is called Arcade. I copied my individual zipped games into the Arcade collection's roms folder (over 26k). From what I can tell all the game zip files are named the same way as a HyperList xml I downloaded. I downloaded the 0.183 mame XML and Include files from the download section. I renamed the include file to "include.txt" into the root of the Arcade collection folder. I renamed the XML file to "Arcade.xml" and copied it to the  /meta/hyperlist folder. I can select the Arcade collection from the REtroFE menu, but for some reason it will not list all the games. Below is the config file the collection is using. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm kinda late to the party but here goes.

I found this layout/theme in the old retrofe forum (http://www.retrofe.com/forum/index.php?topic=299.0) but it appears to have some broken stuff in it. Maybe it's because it was made for an older version of RetroFE. I tested this layout with a fresh retrofe "install" just to make sure it was not my copy that was causing the problem. Here are the bugs I noticed:

• When selecting a console, the main menu at the bottom is still visible. The top left console logo initially appears but then disappear.
• When going back from a console game list to the main menu, the right side wheel is still visible.

Maybe it's an easy fix, maybe it's not. If someone get this layout to work properly, it would be SO AWESOME! Please?
