gamelist.xml and images-folder created in the wrong path?

[Norstein]

Hi,
I used Selph's Scraper to collect scrape_all with download_videos, and it generated a gamelist.xml and a folder called "images" containing the images and videos that I wanted.
However, retropie does not show any of these.
So i moved both (gamelist.xml and images folder) to /home/<username>/.emulationstation/gamelists/retropie - but still none of it shows up.
I checked both the content of the folder and the xml-file, but it looks perfectly fine, it just doesn't seem to be at the right location yet.
Where should those two be?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Where should those two be?

Gamelists are read from 3 places - in the following order:

1. ROM/System folder - ~/RetroPie/roms/<system>/gamelist.xml
2. ES user folder - ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/<system>/gamelist.xml
3. ES system folder - /etc/emulationstation/gamelists/<system>/gamelist.xml

If one of the files is found, the rest are ignored. Most likely you have your gamelist in the ROM system folder (1) and you used scraper to generate the gamelist in the ES user folder (2) so the new gamelist is ignored by Emulationstation.
Check if it's the case and instruct scraper to generate the gamelist in the system's folder (option 1).

Turns out the only gamelist that was created was in ~/RetroPie/roms/retropie/gamelist.xml , (there was only this single one on my whole disk, and I did search for hidden files, too).
But in the retropie_setup.sh -> tools -> scraper options, I had disabled (or forgotten to enable) that the .xmls be put in their respective rom directories.
So I deleted the single gamelist and image folder (that contained metadata for >10 systems), scraped again, since I really couldn't be bothered with manually sorting metadata for >4k Roms into different folders, and this time everything was saved to the right locations!
Thank you very much for providing me with the correct locations, the problem is solved now and the thread can be closed.
