Retropie PS1 games not showing artwork or descriptions
-
Hi Everyone.
I hoping someone can help me with an issue I've run into.
I recently downloaded and flashed a pre-made RetroPie image with a number of emulators already installed, and all works fine.
There were a couple of games I wanted to add to the PSX system that I already had roms for, so I've added them to the /roms/psx folder.
They showed up in the games list, but without and artwork or description.
Ive not had much luck in the past with scraping data, and wanted to add the metadata manually anyway, so tried to edit the gameslist.xml.
From memory (im at work) I edited the gameslist.xml that was in /.emulationstation/gamelists/psx/gamelist.xml
using notepad via CyberDuck and editing one of the descriptions for one of the games.
Since rebooting ,the games still show (and launch) in the PSX category in RetroPie, but now none of the artwork or descriptions show.
Ive tried moving the gameslist.xml to the /roms/psx folder, to no avail, and looking through the gamelist.xml there are also a number of games on there that I dont even have roms for?Pretty sure I've mucked something up, but would like to understand whats going on and ideally not have to re-flash the image again.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
