Easy way to sort menu?

[Psd99]

Hi I got lots of games installed and they are all over the place on the wii u menu


. I was thinking of having a folder for each console ie amiga, n64, snes, retro

rather than me manually trawling through the wii u screen is there a homebrew app where I could easily arrange all of this?


also how do y'all organise your main screen?

Nah the only way to do it is manually as there is no homebrew to do it.

I don't use any folders I organise my games in order. So all Mario games together in order of release then all Zelda games and so on.

Shame that
Wonder if a homebrew app could be developed to fix that

there's a homebrew to sort alphabetically I think, but I've never tried it. as far as that specifically, I don't think so.

I tried it already but it never does the job. There are always games that aren't sorted correctly.
At least it moves the icons if you have any gaps in your menu.

USE EMULATION FOR YOUR RETRO it makes me so mad with people inject individually all there NES/SNES/GBA/GB/GBC roms just use emulatuion its so much easier and less tedious and saves menu space

It should be able easy to short cause like there's a 300 tile limit

Not sure how that app sorts, but it's probably the meta.xml. there's a short and long name for each game or app, that might be why it screws up.

Use either retroarch or vwii side emulators trust me it's so tedious to manual inject all your Roms and it fills.up your 300 title limit

I really struggled to get retroarch to work

i got it installed and can launch it but that's as far as i got

out of interest what does your setup look like?
