Bulk transferring roms from 1 collection to another
-
Hello, i'm a Retropie Virgin so please go easy. I currently have my snes roms in a Phils Doodles/retrorama Snes NTSC graphic collection. I've added the Snes european graphic and would simply like to move all games across then delete the old graphic. Please advise. Thanks.

@charliec If you'd like to get rid of the image/scraped metadata for a system, just delete the
/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/[SYSTEM]/gamelist.xmlfile - but exit ES first so it doesn't write it back when shutting down. -
bolded text@mitu Thanks for the reply. Where would I find that file?Still unsure how I'd first bulk transfer from one collection to another.Further advice welcome.

@charliec The file I mentioned is on the RPI, you can access it through SSH since it's not available via file shares. Replace
[SYSTEM]with the ROM folder corresponding to the console system for which you'd like to clear the metadata - i.e. snes, nes, fba, etc.I don't understand what you mean by 'collection' - is this one of the new ES custom collection options ? Or it's just a list of ROMs ?
