▲ 2 r/AnaloguePocket
I'm planning on getting a Pocket in the near future, and am planning out how to organize my ROMs. For convenience I would like to be able to search for a game by either the genre, or the title, or the language, something like the following:
- Languages
- English
- Contra
- Japanese
- Esper Dream 2: Aratanaru Tatakai
- Translations
- Space Defense Force SDF - Uchuu Keibitai SDF [T-En by BlackPaladin v1.0]
- English
- Games A-Z
- Contra
- Esper Dream 2: Aratanaru Tatakai
- Space Defense Force SDF - Uchuu Keibitai SDF [T-En by BlackPaladin v1.0]
- Genres
- Action RPG
- Esper Dream 2: Aratanaru Tatakai
- Run-and-gun
- Contra
- Shoot-em-up
- Space Defense Force SDF - Uchuu Keibitai SDF [T-En by BlackPaladin v1.0]
- Action RPG
Obviously, it is not ideal to reproduce the ROMs themselves in multiple places, both for space and because I would most likely end up with separate save files for each location.
My question is: If I just put the actual ROMs in the "Languages" folder, and shortcut files in the "Games A-Z" and "Genres" folders, will the Pocket be able to load the ROMs through the shortcuts? And if so, will that allow the save files to be shared, as they would (hopefully) just be stored relative to the "Languages" folder?
