      Hey guys could you help me please?
      I'm organizing my game collection so that the thumbnail and description appear (for that I'm using the Skraper software)

      However when I scrape games that are inside a folder, the gamelist.xml is adjusted in a way that I need to access the folder to get the game thumb/information (as you can see in the image below)

      As it is now I need to access the game folder, so the thumbnail appears and then I can access the game.

      I would like it to be like in the other games, where the games appear under each other with the thumbnail already showing.
      No need to go into a folder for each game to access it from there.
      Like this:

      ScummVM games unfortunately cannot be read in .zip format, so I need to leave them in their own folder so that the emulator can read the .svm file

      The gamelist.xml from ScummVM is set like this:

      Could someone please help me to solve this?
      Ty so much!

        @Deathweaver .svm files should go in the main scummvm folder, not within the games' individual sub-folders:

        pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm $ la
         atlantis.svm
        'Beneath a Steel Sky (CD VGA)'
        'Day Of The Tentacle (CD Dos)'
        'Flight of the Amazon Queen (CD DOS)'
        'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)'
        'Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (Amiga)'
         lsl1-amiga.svm
        'Maniac Mansion (Floppy DOS v2 Enhanced)'
         maniac-v2.svm
         monkey2.svm
        'Monkey Island 2 - LeChuck'\''s Revenge (Ultimate Talkie Edition - DOS)'
         monkey.svm
         queen-fallback.svm
        'Sam and Max Hit the Road (CD DOS)'
