      I'd like to move all my MAME files to the arcade directory; most of them currently are in mame-libretro.

      I'd like to avoid having to setup runcommand for all of them again, but I'm given to understand that the runcommand.cfg file keeps track of those via an md5sum of the rom path rather than the content.

      My list isn't so huge that redoing the ones that need lr-mame2010 instead of 2003 is impossible, but it'd be nice to just do it all in one shot. Any ideas on how that might be doable?

        @lummox-jr I think any override created through the Runcommand is stored in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg. It doesn't use checksums anymore, just the ROM name and the system name:

        arcade_005 = "lr-mame2003"
        arcade_10yard = "lr-mame2010"
        arcade_1941 = "lr-fbalpha"
        [...]
        

        I think it's enough the replace the mame-libretro_<romname> with arcade_<romname> to keep the configuration set through the Runcommand.
