Problem Removing Favorites

Post by FrizzleFried » Mon Dec 11, 2017 12:32 am

OK... If I am in my FAVORITES "display"...

If I remove games ... they go away (I set "F" for ADD/REMOVE favorites). Great! Unfortunately, when I power down then power back up, all those favorites that I removed from the favorites "display" are back.

Why?

How do I remove them and keep them gone?

I'm not certain as I haven't tried the favourites functions of Attract-Mode but it could be one of two things I'm guessing.

Do you do a full shutdown after changing the favourites or just switch off the cab? If you just switch the cab off the SD card may not be finalised so the changes are lost.

Otherwise if you're already doing a proper shutdown or reboot after making the changes try exiting Attract-Mode after making the favourites changes. Doing this makes the menu position save so it may help for favs too. (you can hit f8 and select reboot or shutdown from the 2nd menu that loads when you exit attract)

Hope that helps, if you figure it out please post the answer.
