Filtering or portable mode?

Aeon Nox is not prepared for a 3+ tier menu. The solution depends on what you want your higher level entries to look like. Should they look like your main menu or like your games menu?

I want it to look the games menu.
How do I tell RetroFE if a collection should look like the games menu or the main menu?

That part is defined in the layout.xml; I'll see if I can free up some time to make the default layout capable of handling more than 2 menu levels.

Give this one a try (make a backup of the old one just in case), and let me know how that works for you. This file should help if you want your Bandai WonderSwan menu to look like your games menu.

If you want your Bandai WonderSwan menu to look like your main menu however, you simply need to copy the layout.xml to layouts\Aeon Nox\collections\Bandai WonderSwan\layout\ (create the directory if it does not exist, which it probably does not).

Works great. Thanks

The custom XML doesn't seem to work with 0.8.13 anymore. What is needed to do to make the default layout capable of handling more than 2 menu levels?

0.8.13 also came with an update of Aeon Nox that should be able to handle the menu structure you use.

But with 0.8.13 and 0.8.14 the 3rd Level Lists are empty.

"Main" (works normal, shows all Systems)
-> "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" (works normal, shows all subcollections)
----> "Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Coop All" (just empty)

"Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Coop All" is a collection folder with an "Super Nintendo Entertainment System.sub" and an playlist-folder inside.
In the "Super Nintendo Entertainment System.sub" the games are just listed with the rom name...

Code: [Select]

...
Donkey Kong Country (Europe) (En,Fr,De) (Rev 1)
Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest (Germany) (En,De) (Rev 1)
Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (Europe) (En,Fr,De)
...
...and in the playlists folder they are in genre lists like "action.txt" with...

Code: [Select]

...
_Super Nintendo Entertainment System:Donkey Kong Country (Europe) (En,Fr,De) (Rev 1)
_Super Nintendo Entertainment System:Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest (Germany) (En,De) (Rev 1)
_Super Nintendo Entertainment System:Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (Europe) (En,Fr,De)
...

Any Idea why it worked previously and not after the update?

Menu changes were added in 0.8.13, requiring a change in the layout.xml file. Did you update that one as well? Can you include it in your next post so I can take a look?
