Could you add option to browse game by (user-defined) categories instead of by consoles? So for example I could group all mario games together.

    This is already done in the alpha release although you have to manually edit the groups file atm. There is a groups editor in the upcoming beta release though :)

    The groups file is "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Emulators2Groups.xml"
    You can get an idea of the format by looking at the existing group but a basic group containing games would look like

    <Group title="MyGroup">
    <item type="Game">gameId1</item>
    <item type="Game">gameId2</item>
    <item type="Game">gameId3</item>
    </Group>

    You then need to start the plugin with groups so select "groups" from the "Start with" dropdown on the options tab (it's possible to do this from within MP in the next release).

    Hi, I'll move this into an own thread under "feature requests". I like the idea, but I think we can currently not implement this with further changes. I've checked the models and there are no variables, that could be easily called.

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.
