Elementerial now show logo for some auto/custom collections.
Collections are a way to arrange your games. You can create editable or dynamic collections. Editable collections are those you manually add games, while Dynamic collections are those you can set filters or search texts.
To create a new collection on EmulationStarion and enable them to be displayed on main screen/carousel:
On EmulationStation → Start → Game Collection Settings
- Group unthemed custom collections (disabled)
- Create new editable/dynamic collection
- Insert the name of the collection
- See the list below for collection names that have a logo
There is a couple of logos for the following franchises:
Final FantasyMarioMetroidPersona- I like to create Persona collection as a dynamic collection and use the text
persona, megami tenseias Find Games content, so the collection gathers all games with Persona and Megami Tensei in its titles (which includes Shin Megami Tensei as well).
- I like to create Persona collection as a dynamic collection and use the text
PokemonSaGaZelda
Miscellaneous Collections:
Grouvee Playing
The names listed are case sensitive and with white spaces (like in Final Fantasy). If you use any variation like MariO or final-fantasy your collection will not display the logo.
