I have closed the poll now cause you can now add you own Carousel Gamelist Screens to PCUAEv1.30, so you can add 48 folders if you like.. 
The EYES have it...
I thought I ask this before changing PCUAE and add this cause it a big feature to add and no point if no one wants it, Would you like more folders and more screens, 0 to 9 and A to Z, so one screen for 0 to 9 and 26 screens per alphabet letter for C64 and Vic-20.
As I am thinking about it more, it don't sound a bad idea but it up to you... You have until the end of Feb to decide, I will need 50+ Votes for Yes to start working on it, I know it sounds a lot but not willing to work on this for months(it will take a while to work out and add) when only 5 or 10 users want it so PLEASE Vote, every vote counts, the more the better.
I have added everything PCU has so I am the only person working on it, I created it and is happy to add stuff but this needs the users opinion, cause its a big update to PCUAE.
I don't want to work on this if only one or two users wants it, it would be a waste of time...
You can add your comments about it here too.
I am not going to vote cause I am the creator of PCUAE and its not about what I want... its about want the user wants in PCUAE.
I was thinking, we could have CTRL-1 still the same and opening the Fav screen so that would not change but when you press CTRL-2 for 0 to G, it comes up with a menu and you pick between 0 to H so each letter has its own Carousel Gamelist screen, so it will be the same but each shortcut will have its own menu come up and you can pick between 1 to 9 keys on the keyboard for - 0, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and pick what screen you want to load up, it could have a time out too so like 25 seconds then would automatically load up the first screen, 0, I, R screens so your not stuck on the menu all the time.
The screens would be equal so 9x3 = 27 and there would be 27 screens and 9 screens per Menu.
There is only about 226 games slots in The Carousel so can only show that many games, if you go over it the games you added at the end will not be shown, just added 10 more games and they are showing, so I have tested 235 games so far so you might be able to add more so I be changing in PCUAE the game slot limit, I might later on try and get the carousel to show about 512 games slots, we will see..
CTRL-1 for Favourites -
go to fav screen
The letters would have to change a bit for each collections of screens in the each menu..
CTRL-2 for C64 0 to H
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between 0 and H.
CTRL-3 for C64 I to Q
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between I and Q.
CTRL-4 for C64 R to Z
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between R and Z.
Same would be for the VIC-20 screens too...
CTRL-5 for VIC20 0 to H
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between 0 and H.
CTRL-6 for VIC20 I to Q
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between I and Q.
CTRL-7 for VIC20 R to Z
- brings up a menu and you pick what screen you want between R and Z.
So each menu would have 9 screens in it so it was equal cause there is 27 screens(0 screen and A to Z screens) but would have to add more screens cause of the Vic-20 so really would have 54 screens to choose from.
The menu would be like the VICE menu I made so you could pick what emulator to run so the menu would be like its running on the C64 emulator itself..
