Skip to Next/Previous Letter

[Wob]

I am finding it slow to scroll through the lists once they grow in size, is it possible to have a function added to skip to next/previous letter like in Mamewah.

So if I am in the B's I can hit a key and skip to the first C Game or another Key to go to the First A Game?

I found in Mamewah this really helps scrolling through long lists.

Cheers,

Yes this functionality will be added, thanks.

I thought Hyperspin already did that by pressing left arrow right arrow or is that slightly different?

That just skips ahead a certain amount of games you define, but not by letter. Heres the issue of skipping by letter and why I didnt do it.

Our lists allow you to organize your games into any order you like, the main reason I did this is I like certain games to be together or I like to have certain games in a certain order. An example would be that even though all the street fighters are somewhat grouped together i want them to be in order by year. So I can move them up and down the list. I still want alphabetical functionality but sometimes built in sorting methods by programs arent perfect. Sometimes a part 2 of a game might show up right before part 1 of a game or similar situations.

Someone else had a cool suggestion earlier thought that we could have an xml node that just contains a letter like letter = "A" or letter = "Z" or something similar, and that would be doable for sure. So just a heads up , if I do add the functionality of alphabetical game skipping it will be done this way most likely.

Sounds like a good plan.

Alternatively, you could add a function within Hyperspin itself that would simply add a bookmark to where you are in the list. Perhaps a blue horizontal line across the screen would denote a placed bookmark while scrolling, but would disappear once the images began to load.
