EmulationStation Fork?
-
Then you can collapse it down to just have one neat menu entry for that game, instead of having to go into the directory and then launch the game.
Yes, exactly.
Some of those PSX games have lots of files (20+) and merging them into an .iso doesn't always work. I really don't like tossing all of those files from different games in the same directory. I guess I'm kind of OCD about stuff like this. :)
Anyway. So, yes, an extremely minor change. :) But I'm happy to clean it up and submit it to the RetroPie branch if there's interest.

@pcal that's the main reason we removed bin as an extension from psx. Just a diff way of filtering. You can submit your case on the RetroPie github fork of emulationstation for discussion

@pcal Another way to work around this is to use PSX2PSP files:

Thanks for the replies everyone

Right. Which totally makes sense.
I just wanted to take it a step further, giving myself the option to keep each game in a subfolder on disk while having them appear at the top level in the ES menus

Ah, that's an interesting trick, didn't think of that.

Ok. Let me clean up my change and I'll try to get a pull request submitted this weekend.

Regarding the PSX files: for me it worked for multi-bin/apes-games to merge them all into a single bin. So every game ends up with one bin and one cue.
These tips here helped me alot:

Sorry to revive this old topic but I just wanted to know the current status on this whole Emulationstation stuff and I didn't think it was worth a new topic.
So what's going on? Which version/fork is now used in the current RetroPie?
Is there any change gonna happen anytime soon?
What about grid view?
What about that stupid carousel bar? Can we soon theme it?
Is there anyone out there currently maintaining an updated ES version?Until that time, further developments are done by 'unofficial' forks, which are not necessarily maintained/updated often. One example is this extension of ES, which is currently under experimental features.
The reason I ask is all these questions is I am about to release an update for my theme and I need to know if I have to add some new features or adjust it to a newer ES version/fork. If you guys tell me that nothing is gonna happen in the next few months then I'll just continue my work as is.
