Is it possible to skip through the games list by letter so I don't have to "manually" scroll through every game one by one?
Or maybe even set up a "FAVORITES" list perhaps?

Hi ff,

Yes - you can page down, or go line by line. On my machine, page up/down is configured as left and right on the P1 Joystick. Not sure if there is a keyboard shortcut, as I rarely connect my keyboard.

You can change this configuration in Attract-Mode config (tab key to access), followed by selecting "controls".

Cheers!

I haven't personally tried it yet on ARpiCADE, but since it's attract mode, I can't see why it can't work.

1. Open the Attract Mode Config menu
2. Select the "Plug-Ins" menu
3. Enable the "KeyboardSearch" plugin
4. Under "Trigger" select "Custom1"
5. Go back to the Configure menu and select "Controls"
6. Scroll down and select the "Custom1" control
7. Select "Add Input", to bring up the input selection prompt
8. Press your desired input (I used select + another button) to map it to Custom1
9. You can now trigger the KeyboardSearch plugin by pressing the desired input (from any display in Attract Mode)
