      Hello Folks,
      I am new in here, but not new to retro games 😉
      I really like recalbox os and - so far - it worked fine, but now there is something wrong and I can't fix it:

      Yesterday I used the favourites menu in recalbox os to sort the gamelist in order to show the "games played" instead of game names. From that moment on, my raspi always freezes when trying to open my favourites.

      There is no possibility to open the favourites menu to set the sorting order back to "names" or something else because I cannot open the favourites.

      Do you have any ideas how to fix it ? Maybe opening the "gamelist.xml" in a texteditor to change the sort list (if this is possible)?

      My system:
      Raspberry Pi 3B +
      SanDisk Ultra SD Card 128GB
      Recalbox Dragonblaze 6.1.1

      Thank you!

        Hi foren,
        You should have a look in recalbox.conf (using the webmanager, it'll be easier), and search for "sort".
        You may find some settings there you can play with a little bit (but carefully).

          Hi Wasted31,

          thank you very much, this worked!

          I changed the line

          favorites.sort=8
          

          to

          favorites.sort=0
          

          and now it's sorted by name and works again without freezing.

          Thank you 🙂
