@tmntturtlguy What are Hyperspin rom naming conventions. I downloaded all of the data from ETA Primes link ( video previews and associated game lists) for a bunch of systems. . So it all works but i guess my names are scraped with different rom naming so I have to physically edit a lot of the rom names to match the videos. Is there a way I can scrape everything so it has Hyperspin naming for the roms and everything matches up without all this editing?
Thanks!!

@tmntturtlguy Ok i am reading on this now. More stuff to learn :)

@christiang There are scripts and settings and ways to do it, and it depends on how many games you have. I don't have a ton of games, I do not see the sense in having a bunch of games i will never play, but that said i still have maybe 350 or 400 total games on about 16 systems. I have found that I spend more time trying to get scripts or batch rename or other things to work than just being board and modifying them manually. I usually create 2 windows on my desktop and just double click, ctrl C and then go to the other window, double click and ctrl v to rename the gamelist to match my rom name, or my art name. It is not fun, but it is accurate and gets the job done.

@tmntturtlguy Thats so funny man. I think everyone arrives at that too. I was sitting up till 1 am last night with two windows open changing file names.
Here is a quick question if you know it.
Which gamelist does emulation station default to. I am finding initially before adding the videos and new gamelist, it was defaulting to a gamelist in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/snes etc.
Then I put a snap folder with the videos and the gamelist associated with it directly in the snes rom folder. Now that gamelist takes precedent. Is this normal or am i getting this understanding all wrong.
Thanks,
Chris

@christiang if the folder is located in the same folder as the roms, I believe that is the file that is used by ES. You can have the list in either location, but I recommend you only have it in one spot. I keep my lists with my Roms and I run my roms off of a USB, so that is my preference.

@tmntturtlguy Very cool. I didnt realize until now u can just scrape the videos and roms together with Steven Selph's Scraper. This seems pretty fool proof and simple. I am going to give it a try today. I was just scraping the roms before. Just saw the video option.
Thanks...
