      @f-caruso O.k. Now its loading all gamelists. Thanks. But there is still a Problem with the custom-collections. I tested with this in the .cfg (without quotes):
      "~/.emulationstation/roms/nes/Battletoads (U) [!].zip"
      and the full Version:
      D:/Emulatoren/es/.emulationstation/roms/nes/Battletoads (U) [!].zip"
      The menu shows 0 Games.

        @PittStone Are you sure ".zip" extension is present in you es_system.cfg for nes, gb, gbc, mastersystem... ".stx" for atarist, etc... ?
        I'm sure you have a file extension problem : Your gamelists describe files with extensions that are not present is es_sytems.cfg so they are removed from the internal collection - the precise reason for the crash I solved...
        Have a check on it.

            @PittStone you should'nt have any problem with full path in cfg files. I have none.
            But i'm curious, what is your path value for nes in es_systems ?

              @f-caruso <path>~\ .emulationstation\roms\nes</path>
              (there is no empty after \ .emulationstation, but this forum makes a error).

                @PittStone said in Updated EmulationStation for Windows:

                <path>~.emulationstation\roms\nes</path>

                Is it a copy/paste ? It is not valid. ~ should always be followed by / and path separators should be linux style ( / not \ )
                Try that : <path>~/.emulationstation/roms/nes</path>
                EDIT : ok -> Then try linux style path separators.
                EDIT2 : I tried without a problem with \ separators... Hard to help without having your files & knowing your config - or having logs

                  @f-caruso Ah, i found that es made my gamelist renamed to .old and thats how my collection are 0 games. :( I have not watched to the nes folder itself. I think its working now. I have the "~/.emulationstation/roms/nes/Battletoads (U) [!].zip" in the collections .cfg and its shows up in es. :D

                    @PittStone I don't know why, I had regular problems with jdrassa ES & even Recalbox ES with gamelists. Sometimes they go empty or 0k without any reason. I tried to figure out why, but I didn't find. So renaming the previous version to .old is the only "hack" I found not to loose my gamelists...

                      @f-caruso Yeah, but there are new errors i found. :( ES is not closing complete after go quit in the options menu. The CMD Window ist still open and in the taskmanager i must find es and close the task.
                      Another thing is, "Aladdin" in snes is not showing anymore after Parse gamelists only. Strange its working before. PSX are only two games. I thing this are some bugs.

                        I don't have your gamelists for those systems, sorry.
                        I think ES is long to close, because it is saving gamelists and it's a very long process.

                          @f-caruso I found that es saving a long logfile for the videos gamelist. I fixed this. But i dont understand, why "Aladdin" is not showing in the es list. Its correct in the gamelist. And PSX Games are only two.

                            @PittStone I think I found. File extensions of missing files is either unknown is es_systems... Or extension is not lowercase in the gamelist... I just commited a fix for lowercase comparisons...
                            What is the "video gamelist" ???

                              @f-caruso I have a system called "videos" and in there some Clips from youtube like Donkey Kong Country Making of and other VHS Rips. This is my "Videos" Gamelist. ;) This Clips are showing as Preview and if i start this video, "VLC Player" is starting up with this Video.

                                @PittStone Good idea, ES is not only useful for emulated games ;-) What's the problem with the logfile & the video gamelist ?

                                  @f-caruso The Problem was only, the file extension. I have not put in es_systems the .mp4 and .mkv!

                                    @f-caruso I have the error for psx. The logfile says: "lvl0: Error finding/creating FileData for "D:/Downloads/Firefox/emulationstation_win32_latest for testing/.emulationstation/roms/psx/Gran Turismo 1.PBP", skipping."
                                    But in my es_systems is the .PBP file extension. <extension>.mdf .cue .CUE .iso .ISO .pbp .PBP .img</extension>

                                        @f-caruso The "Downloads/Firefox" is a folder for the continous build to check it out before i copy Updates to my full working folder. Yes i downloaded it.
                                        I have this:
                                        lvl0: Error finding/creating FileData for "D:/Downloads/Firefox/emulationstation_win32_latest for testing/.emulationstation/roms/psx/Gran Turismo 1.PBP", skipping.
                                        lvl1: gameList: file extension is not known by systemlist

                                        But in my es_systems is this: <extension>.mdf .cue .CUE .iso .ISO .pbp .PBP .img</extension>

                                          @PittStone Wierd, I realized the changes I did yesterday were not pushed to github... Done now, continuous build will soon be ready.
