      The guides I have read for the libretro version of scummvm requires you to rename the folders with .svm in the name. For example, Full Throttle's folder would be 'FullThrottle.svm' with it containing the shortname ft.svm file. The problem is EmulationStation crashes when I have a folder with '.svm' in the gamelist with the following error:

      emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-app/src/FileData.cpp:217 void FileData::addChild(filedata*): Assertion 'mType == FOLDER ' failed.

      Renaming the files without .svm and rebuilding the gamelist fixes the issue but then each game is scraped in its own folder rather than in one main list.
