      I switched over to using a network share for my games and the boot up time (understandably) increased by quite a bit. I attached to emulationstation while it was "Loading..." with strace and saw that it is literally scanning every single file in all directories recursively.

      Is there a way/option to have it not do that until that directory is actually utilized by selecting an emulator or subdirectory?

        @telengard Not unless you enable "Parse gamelists only" and then you need a gamelist for everything (anything not in the gamelist won't show up).
