      @JFamily I now have all my roms on my NAS. It works ok. Very slow at booting up Emulation Station but that could be because of the amount of roms it's trying to load. Found an easy way to edit the config file so it's not as painful not as it was. I understand it would be a nightmare to program but It would be a nice feature to have.

        If the first start is slow and it isn't your NAS - then try to use subfolders for the ROMS. I made a test with RetroPie 2.3 in former times.
        10.000 ROMS for 3 systems, and the Pi was up (from the terminal to a manuel starting ES) in 7 seconds

        I put 18.500 ROMS to annother system (so 28.500 files in total), new the Pi needed 2minutes and 50seconds to start the ES from the terminal bash.

        I divvided the roms in Subfolders A-Z and every subfolder was marked as a new system the starting time was 28 seconds :)
