Emulator File Abbreviations List
-
Does anyone have or know where I can see a list of which systems equate to what file folder name? I know most of them are obvious but I'm not sure what they all mean. For the life of me I cant seem to find a list anywhere. I know the Retropie site lists all the systems it can play but that doesn't help if i don't know what name abbreviation goes to what system. If I had a list I could easily see what file each set of roms go into or i can look for roms for that system I don't have yet. Thanks in advance.

I think you're right, this information is dispatched on every emulator specific doc entry, but there is no central documentation AFAIK.
It could be a nice addition to the docs.Here are for the least obvious :
fba - Final Burn Alpha
fds - Famicom Disk System
gb - Game Boy
gba - Game Boy Advance
gbc - Game Boy Color
n64 - Nintendo 64
ngp - Neo Geo Pocket
ngpc - Neo Geo Pocket Color
psx - PlayStation
sg-1000 - Sega Game 1000
snes - Super Nes -
It's enough to look in the
/etc/emulationstaton/es_systems.cfg- that's where the folder/system mapping is kept.
