 You can tune your custom selection with command line switches to select only a specific system, or a specific genres of games, and invoking the command subsequently. For instance, if you want all "ball" games on NES and Gameboy in a "ballers" custom collection, you can start with ''batocera-create-collection -c ballers -s nes ball'' and then add GB games to the same custom collection by typing ''batocera-create-collection -c ballers -s gb ball''. Note that you need to have your games correctly scraped in order to have this command search in the game names (especially for Arcade games on MAME of Final Burn Neo) or in the genres of the games. You can tune your custom selection with command line switches to select only a specific system, or a specific genres of games, and invoking the command subsequently.

- +====DYNAMIC COLLECTIONS==== 
 + 
 +Batocera 5.26 and later also let you create Dynamic Collections from EmulationStation.  
 + 
 +Think of dynamic collections like rules you set up in your e-mail client to automatically create "smart folders": when you receive new e-mails that match the predefined rules, they are showing up in the right smart folder automatically. Dynamic collections on Batocera are the same: you start by creating rules to set up your dynamic collections (match a string in the game name, a gaming system, a genre...) and when you add new ROMs matching those rules, they show up automatically in your dynamic collection. This way, you can share dynamic collections with your friends, even if they don't have the same ROMs, or if their ROM file names aren't exactly the same as yours.

 +FIXME - Add details on the format for dynamic collections.
