I've added 3 new filters to the Retro Game Room search engine:

X Hacks / Homebrew = The Search Engine will not return any hacked games
X Java Emulated = The Search Engine will not return any games that are only Java emulated
X RGR Plugin = The Search Engine will not return any games that require the RGR Plugin

For some users, these filters are probably unnecessary but for some users, they've been waiting for this update for a long time. I've been asked many times if it was possible to search for games without hacks being displayed, before it wasn't possible but now it is. I've also been asked a few times before if it was possible to only search for games that have Java emulators available (since the RGR Plugin doesn't work on Mac or Linux machines).

Since these filters appear on the right side of the search box, I had to move the sort by filter to the left.

Good job. Thanks! I have wanted the 'no hacks' option for a while - I probably should have said so.

That goes the same with me, since I have more of an interest in actual games rather than hacks. If I did want a hack, I would have just looked it up more diligently, so this was a good add to the search field. Thanks!

earthwarrior : Yeah for some reason that stopped working during one of the updates a while back. Let me know in your staff thread and I'll get to fixing that when I have time.

It is kinda nice to see this implemented to have search results filter out the hacks. When I noticed this, I went through some of the top searched franchises with using this feature (maybe about 8 franchises -- Mario, Sonic, Zelda, etc. and found 26 hacks that were in the search results which I edited into a hack category -- not sure if there are any other hacks that will show up with this, but should be minimal if there are.

I'm actually really happy that this happended. The reason why was because I was trying to netplay Sonic the hedgehog 2 with some other user. and it was a pain for me searching the real game not hacks of it. Because I saw a boat load of hack results cramping up the real thing I was looking for. now netplaying something like that won't be so much of a struggle anymore
