      Does anyone know where the file is located that EmulationStation uses to auto-populate Arcade rom names from, when they are not populated in the gamelist.xml file?

        @cloudlink If I am not mistaken, this is in the emulator itself. I can speak for Mame only, not sure how FBA does it. As Mame works with specific known roms only, you can find all information about the rom/game in the emulator itself. There are even commands to get the xml file out of Mame executable.

          @cloudlink It's in the file mamenames.xml in the resources folder of the RetroPie EmulationStation repo: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

          Here's the direct link to the raw file.
