Continue with what you have to #4 in these instructions.

In this line of code:

# get parameters direction="$1" system="$2" rom="$3"

I changed it to:

# get parameters direction="$1" system="" rom="$3"

Too many folders are created with the first option.

Also, be sure to make the necessary location changes in these:

# path to RCLONE rclonePath="/home/pi/rclone-v1.39-linux-arm/rclone" # local base directory for your saves localPath="/home/pi/RetroPie/saves" # remote directory for your saves, has to be configured via "rclone config" first remotePath="dropbox:RetroArch"

One thing to mention, if for some reason your Retropie is offline, your system will freeze and you will need to power it off.

@IanDaemon I think the „playing“ part is much too big in this diagram. 😉

@darishzone The gamelist XML file format is really straightforward and easy to read and edit. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you're editing the files from a PC, I recommend using Notepad++ for this.

@remino just make sure you keep updated backups.

@JDubbedN
Maybe try it with emulation station shut down by pressing f4. Emulation station may be rewriting the game list files when you restart it.

@lostless That was exactly it! I even remember reading about this very same thing in the RetroPie wiki but had completely forgotten about it. Pressing F4 to close down Emulation Station and then transferring the respective files/folders over works perfectly. Thank you!
