Use Crank to scroll alphabet

[FilMcK]

The number of games available for the Game Boy is quite substantial (and is only getting bigger). Scrolling through the games one by one can be quite slow.

Using the Crank to scroll through letters and the left, right dpad to scroll 5 games at a time would allow quicker access to the intended game.

We had this idea in mind. Maybe we can add this as an option.

Currently you can use the crank to scroll through the list. Or hold up or down to have the selector go faster.

I hope this helps for the time being.

Not sure if I'm just repeating what stonerl said, but I did notice that if you hold up or down and crank in the appropriate direction at the same time, it scrolls even faster than using the dpad or crank exclusively.

dpad up or down = slow scroll
crank = fast scroll
dpad up or down + crank simultaneously = fastest scroll

There are basically two ways to scroll through the library right now.

1. The directional buttons. Pressing up or down once respectively moves the entry by one item. If you hold a button e.g., down, it starts automatically advancing though the list. The longer you hold the button the faster the scrolling becomes until it reaches a max value where it does not get any faster.

2. The crank. It's quite simple; the faster you move the crank the faster you can go through the list.
