Edit game's data
-
Since i've learned how to make snapshots, i like to add my homemade snaps on media folder and then edit with edit metadata option, however insert folder path via keyboard everytime is pia, there's a way to copy/paste? or some automatized operation. Thank you!

@darishzone All this information is kept in an XML file (
gamelist.xml), which you can find either in the ROM folder or in the/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists(under each system's folder) (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#gamelistxml-edits).
You can edit the XML file directly with a text editor on the PI itself or on a PC. Make sure you exit Emulationstation while editing the file(s) so the modifications are not overwritten when ES exits. -
Thank you, i'm not confident with xml editing, guess it's time to change that behaviour!

@darishzone The gamelist XML file format is really straightforward and easy to read and edit. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you're editing the files from a PC, I recommend using Notepad++ for this.
