      hi guys!

      im currently working on a build where ive removed all the systems and created one called ALL GAMES/COMPLETE and slowly testing adding games into it.

      ive successfully added multiple platforms into one system but for now i need to manually change which emulators is used depending on the game.

      since i can only use one default emulator per system..

      im doing more research but would it be possible to script this out so that an emulator will be used depending on the extension of a ROM?

      hope that made sense....

      Thanks!

        You can probably automate some stuff. The ROM-Emulator association is stored in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg. If you already configured some games to start with specific emulators, then you already have some entries there so you can see how its format and replicate it for other games.

          thanks! that did the trick :)

          i will now try and get all the names of each system and add that into the list!

          will try and figure out an easy way to do this now ;P since i got close to 5k roms lol
