Ok, So I got this figured out.
The thing is, when boost library was removed two years ago, it removed the ability to navigate on UNC folders too.

I thought that this was really strange since EmulationStation can still loads the gamelist.xml on my Server but couldn't load anything else, but, I found a pre 2.7.4 build (that still has boost library) and now everything works :)

Right now I'm running a really old 2.6.4 build. If anyone here has a 2.7.3 build saved, please share with me, I would really appreciate.

Thanks again

well that would take me almost a month to do every game. the favorites folder should list the whole title even if its in brackets. because all the other folders don't do that.

@mitu thanks i needed to add Pokemon Mini and Odyssey 2 since that is the only systems that are not in my emulation station but is on RetroArch. i ended up kinda getting my favorites problem solved. i just told it to only show my favorites and it showed the (USA, Japan, ect)
