      This is my file-structure:

      • scummvm
        • atlantis
          • ATLANTIS.000
          • ATLANTIS.001
          • ATLANTIS.SCUMMVM
        • comi
          • COMI.SCUMMVM
          • ...

      Doing so works. Emulationstation finds the game and i am able to start it.
      BUT that brings subfolders to my scummvm-page in emulationstation. My scummvm-page shows the folder "atlantis" with the game "atlantis" in it.
      When I place the dummy .scummvm-files to the root of the scummvm-dir i get rid of this subfolders. But then retroarch cannot start the game.

      I am running Emulationstation 2.6.3 in windows.

        I found a workaround:

        I added a .scm-File to the root aof the scummvm-games-folder.

        For atlantis i have the atlantis.scummvm-file insidde the atlantis-folder and a atlantis.scm-file outside that folder.

        In es_systems.cfg i changed the command:

        <command>RetroArch\retroarch.exe -f -L "RetroArch\cores\scummvm_libretro.dll" "PATHTORETROGAMES\retro\ScummVM\games%BASENAME%%BASENAME%.scummvm"</command>

        and changed the extension to scm.
        <extension>.scm</extension>

        This means EmulationStation sees the .scm-file as the rom and adds it to the gamelist without annoying subfolders.
        When starting the rom, wo don't care about the fake .scm-file. We grab only the basename and assume there is a folder with the same basename with the scummvm-file inside it.
