4.3 Sections

A section usually means "a console", so, SNES is a section, NES is also one and so on. There are sections which are not consoles, like Apps or Games.

For each section group, one or more sections will be defined below the list at the top of the file.

A section has 3 properties to be set:

• execs: the commands to be executed when a rom in that section is launched. If more than one command is listed, SimpleMenu lets you pick which one to use by pressing select (see the Controls section).
• romDirs: the directories which will be searched for roms.
• romExts: the extensions to be considered.

Example: Sega Genesis in consoles.ini

[SEGA GENESIS]
execs = /media/SDCARD/apps/picodrive.opk,/media/SDCARD/apps/genplusgx.opk
romDirs = /media/SDCARD/ROMS/SMD/,/media/SDCARD/ROMS/genesis/
romExts = .md,.smd,.bin,.zip

Considerations

• A section name must match with the name written in the list at the top of the section group, else, it won be shown.
• The section name is one of 3 optional "texts" to be displayed by themes (the other two being the amount of games in a section and the full name of the rom, under the game art)
• All paths must end in /
• paths and filenames are case sensitive.
