      If you use the built-in ES Scraper, your gamelist and image folders will be in ~/.emulationstation; I don't think you can change this.

      If however you use another scraper (Steven Sselph's scraper or Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper) you can choose whether your scraped data goes there, or in the roms folder; if the folder is mapped to an external SSD then the scraped data will be there too, or else it will migrate along with the roms themselves by whatever other method you use (i.e. just backing up the roms folder over network shares, etc.)

      @derekr resizing to 512x512 seems to have fixed a lot of the issues. Another one that I came across was that the ".PNG" extension of a couple of my files was capitalized. Make sure that your files use the lowercase ".png" extension.

      @UberLumby Yeah, I just stumbled upon subfolder scraping by accident myself. Also didn't expect the scrapers to do that.

      (Like I noticed the "hide preview" button in the forum editor right now by clicking on it accidentally on my way to the "submit" button. šŸ˜† )

      @SeraphisCain Thanks - there is a gamelist there, but the titles on it are not the ones affected by the issue. There are only a handful of titles and there's no metadata defined. A red herring, I'm afraid.

      I appreciate your help, but I'm ready to give up. I don't think it's going to get worked out.

      Thanks anyway.

      And I didn't get around to make the aforementioned changes for your setup either, because I'm on vacation for a movie festival where I watch 2-3 movies every day over the whole week. :)

      About the artwork's space: Yeah, I figured as much. But none said that retrogaming is a piece of cake (and if they said that, they lied). I'll keep this on my to-do list and look forward for any updates on your side.

      @Amishgamer
      I just tested it again, with a few different systems, It does kind of squish the box, especially segacd, maybe a 640x640 square would be better. I'm sorry I'm not very good at this artwork.xml, I cant find a way around skyscrapers, compositing the boxart, even though all that it needs is for "cover" to be redirected to "screenshot". Did you try the built-in scraper?

      I actually emphasized quantity, but I did so only to an extent, excluding any un-translated games, most prototypes, and most unlicensed games. In my mind, I wanted to create a kind of history museum or archival library, showcasing the console's life through its titles. You can flip to any one console and see the styles of box art, the genres and trends that were popular, the character designs that reflected the era, the relevant pop culture icons of the time, and whatever else. Sure, I won't ever play the vast majority of the games I added, but it's a beautiful and eloquent way to look back on gaming history from the late 1970's to the early 2000's.

      @hyruleslink I just got lr-gw up and running myself and was thinking the same thing. A little googling and I found these. Honestly, I was hoping one of the scrapers had them already. I just finished missing artwork and metadata for Famicom Disk System and I’m really not looking forward to doing all that again by hand.

      @darknior Haha....

      I actually do a few things in paint still myself. If I have to move an image slightly to get rid of a bad edge or resize it slightly that's the quickest way for me.

      I actually recommend Paint.NET though. It was real easy for me to pick up and there's a huge fan community that makes a lot of helpful extensions. I've used some of these extensions for altering the perspective to make really bad angled box and cart shots look like they were taken directly head on.

      Made a HUGE difference when I could get a 1500x2100 image off of ebay and change the perspective to have an amazing HQ image instead of using some 300x425 image with a beat up box and a sticker on it that I found on some random gamer site.
