      Hello,

      Is there a way to have game files (cue, bin, etc..) in one folder
      and where I select the folder the game will be launched instead of going inside ?

      I found this
      "A game can actually point to a folder/directory if the the folder has a matching extension."

      at https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/GAMELISTS.md

      with no success

        While EmulatioStation supports folder based games, the launching command (runcommand) does not know how to launch such games, so this configuration is not possible at the moment.

          thx!

          So what does it mean ?
          "A game can actually point to a folder/directory if the the folder has a matching extension."

            @gugue Just like you have .cue files, you can have .cue folders - game1.cue - and they'll show up as games in the list.
