Organizing Games With Folders

An example showing how the folders display on the menu

Overview

By making more folders inside of the Seasons folder in Data Disk Mode and moving games into those folders, sections will be made in the launcher (like the pre-made Season 1 and Catalog sections) with the title of the folder and will display the games inside of that folder.

How To

1. Launch your Playdate into Data Disk Mode and connect it to your computer

2. Navigate to the inside of the Seasons folder (located in PLAYDATE> Games> Seasons)

3. Make new folders and title them whatever you want the new section to be labeled

4. Move the games you want into that folder

5. Eject and Reboot your Playdate

Extra Info

If you sort all of your games into folders in one session, they will all be sorted alphabetically. However, if you re-name or edit the meta-data of the folder in a session (without editing any of the rest), it will automatically become the first folder regardless of alphabetical order. For example if you mad a folder named Apple and a folder named Berry in the same connection session, the order will go Apple -> Berry. However, if you were to connect again and rename Berry to Blackberry, the order will become Blackberry -> Apple
