      I've created my own scrapper for Godot games and I'm adding some extra metadata of my own, like game-source, id, and api-source.

      When I play the game, everything that's not on this list https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/es-app/src/MetaData.cpp gets wiped out.

      Here's an example:

      Before:

      <game game-source="https://securas.itch.io/daemon-vs-demon">
        <id>197731</id>
        <api-source>itchio-godot-scraper.now.sh</api-source>
        <desc>A hack and slash roguelike winner of the 2017 Github Game Off Jam</desc>
        <developer>securas</developer>
        <genre>Role Playing</genre>
        <image>./images/Daemon vs Demon.jpg</image>
        <name>Daemon vs Demon</name>
        <publisher>securas</publisher>
        <rating>4.4</rating>
        <video>./videos/Daemon vs Demon.mp4</video>
        <path>./daemon_vs_demon_linux.pck</path>
      </game>
      

      After:

      <game>
        <path>./daemon_vs_demon_linux.pck</path>
        <name>Daemon vs Demon</name>
        <desc>A hack and slash roguelike winner of the 2017 Github Game Off Jam</desc>
        <image>./images/Daemon vs Demon.jpg</image>
        <video>./videos/Daemon vs Demon.mp4</video>
        <rating>4.4</rating>
        <developer>securas</developer>
        <publisher>securas</publisher>
        <genre>Role Playing</genre>
        <playcount>1</playcount>
        <lastplayed>20200806T180018</lastplayed>
      </game>
      

      Is there any way to keep those extra tags?
