Found it there. Thank you.

In case anyone in this thread is interested, I just released v2.1.0 of RetroPie Convert Videos.

@cyperghost ok I figured it out :) it's a little bit of a bug but totally fixable. ES uses both gamelist.xml found at /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/"console"/ and /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/"console"/ so if there's no gamelist.xml in the console folder under roms, it will use the one found in configs. for some reason it doesn't remove entries, only adds them. it will also not untag favorites if you DO have a gamelist.xml in your roms but DON'T have an entry in your gamelist.xml for the tagged favorite game. Best word of advice: scrape like you've never scraped before lol

@jonnykesh have you ever heard of the controller connecting via Bluetooth, retropie detecting the game pad, but NONE of the buttons working on gamepad?? I’m going to try another gamepad, this is most recent 1.23 firmware update with the new-ish SN30 Pro.
