Usage​

Search​

  • You'll find Search under Apps - and it's a popular choice for mapping to X (configured by default in Onion) or Y (via Tweaks)
  • You can start search using the X button by default. You can change this keybinding in Tweaks
  • When a search is active, the results will be shown under Games › Search, you can remove the search again by choosing "Clear search"
  • "Missing caches" lists all systems which haven't been cached yet, and thereby haven't been included in the search
    • Reason: All game caches are cleared every time you "Refresh all roms"
    • Solution: Go into each system you want included in the search

Filter​

  • Filter is accessible via the GLO Menu When in a game list, press Y
    • Filter: Will prompt you to enter a keyword for filtering the selected game list
    • In your filtered game list you will find 3 new options:
      • ~Clear filter: Will remove the current filter to display your full game list again
      • ~Filter: "keyword": Run filter app again to quickly modify your keyword
      • ~Refresh roms: Will refresh roms only for the current filtered game list
  • Note: If you're using a miyoogamelist.xml you will need to add an entry for ~Filter.miyoocmd and ~Refresh roms.miyoocmd
