Making retro games (emulator roms) show up in MultiMAN?

**kupokupo** · 07-05-2011,12:05 PM

Hi. I have the latest version of Multiman along with the SNES/Genesis/VBA/FBA emulators installed.

Roms (and their boxarts) show up completely fine under the "retro" column in the default Multiman theme, but in other themes, only one icon per emulator shows up.

Is there a way to make the roms show up in the other themes as well?

No. The display of an icon for each emulator ROM is supported only in the XMMB display mode.

In the other modes you can only find the homebrew application entry of each emulator.
(Same as shown in the XMMB column "Game".)

And the XMMB menu is not a 'theme', but a 'display mode', just like the 2x4 icon mode or the 4x8 icon mode, only much more advanced and complex, since the XMMB mode is the only one where you have access to all the multiMAN settings.

Themes are something entirely different which affects font and menu usage, background pictures, and even background music, of all display modes including XMMB.

In the leftmost menu column of XMMB there is a special command for switching themes, assuming you've installed some.
