      Hi All,

      I've downloaded a Coleco Rom pack and have all of the roms, boxart and video snaps but as there i do not have a gamelist the video snaps do not play.

      Does anyone have or can make a Gamelist XML I can use to get his working? Its a bit beyond my capabilities :(

      Thank you!

        @dcm91 Third party images are not supported on this forum. Also please remove the reference to where you downloaded the ROMs from.

        If there is a problem with the image you are using then you should ask for support from the creator of that image.

          Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm not very computer literate, still learning my way around using forums...

          I have edited my request. I just love Retro-gaming and really need some help!

          Thank you

            @dcm91 Scrape the games. This will create a gamelist.xml

              @jonnykesh Thanks Jonny, I will try when i get home. I already have all of the Roms, boxart and video snaps in the correct folders. So if i scrape just Coleco it will place an xml in the Roms folder?

                @dcm91 I really don't know where the gamelist.xml will be placed because I have no idea how this image is set up. These files can go in 2 places, within each system ROM folder or in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/systemname. Or at least that's where they go in the standard image. They could be absolutely anywhere on a custom image. You'll just have to try it and see.
