Feature request: "Remember" place in game list...

Post by I_am_dumb »

I use a series of linked profiles I made in Joy2Key so that I can navigate my computer, change roms or emulators by using the Home button on the Classic Controller (which is hooked up to a wireless Mayflash USB adapter) to switch to a "selecting" profile that allows me to use the sticks as mouse, Y as my left click, X as my right click, Select as my "escape / return to menu" button, and I have L and R set as my wheel scroll... I use the scroll to work my way down to the game I want to play, then use the D-Pad to move the selection cursor right onto it and then hit Start to load. Scrolling like that takes quite a bit of time, if I decide I want to play a different game, I hit Select to escape and then I'm right back at the top of my list... and then I have to scroll all the way back to where I was in the alphabet. Why not just make Zsnes remember where I was in the list? If I'm overlooking something and there's -already- an option for that in the menu, please by all means, show me.

This program is made with keyboard input in mind. You can access some stuff with joypad input, but not everything.
I advise you link page up/page down to something in your profile to scroll faster.

Note that returning to the last game played in the list wouldn't help if you want to play a game far that one, anyway.
