      Oh, oops, sorry about that. I am probably in the minority for this but I actually keep the retropie setting "parse game lists only" on because it allows a lot more control and freedom. Like for example the emulator for Sega Saturn doesn't support m3u files, so the only way I could find to not display the second discs was to use this setting and that way it only will show what I want it to in the game with. So because of that I had to remove the .7z entries because otherwise retropie will read those and include them even if I don't have those files. Maybe that is not really a concern for others if not many people use this setting? But for me I always had to edit the game list in the script to remove all the 7Z entries because of this.

      Ok, didn't know "parse game lists only" had some influence in this.
      Well, lets discuss it later.
      Perhaps we can ditch .7z,

        I disagree on this one. .7z files are smaller than .zip and this gives a big advantage for storage. Let the user choose and keep both in the game list files.

          Yes , I agree with you we should keep .7z also.

            @Folly OK, I understand. I know I'm not typical in using the "parse gamelist only" setting. I'll edit in duplicate entries for all the gamelists with .7z instead of .zip.

            Edit: Done. All four gamelist.xml files now have .7z in them too. I left the original gamelists in there too renamed to say "(no .7z)" in the filename. You can remove them if you want but I thought maybe you'd want to leave them if people preferred that version. I understand it might overcomplicate things though.

              @bbilford83 I would love to see casio game & watch and handhelds reproduced, like western bar or drunken sheriff ;)

              Sorry I missed this before. Can't help you there though, I am as amateur as they come with this stuff :). I will say looking up info about these handhelds made me realize that the percentage of them we have emulated is a teeny drop in the bucket. It's amazing how many were made.

                                            The latest set that has been issued is 273.
