      Hello Kayl. Just wanted to ask if there was a way to add directories from different drives. I am using an external SD card along with my C:/ drive, which I would like to ideally copy the paths over to Retrobat. Is there a way to use my gamelist.xml files for each of the emulated systems, along with the es_system.cfg file I used on EmulationStation? Thanks for your help.

        I think it should be possible, since the gamelist stores relative paths, so as long as you adjust the rom folders' paths in es_systems.cfg to point to external disc, it will look there.

        However, Retrobat doesn't use the RetroPie EmulationStation fork, so things might be different on the version/fork they're using.

          @mitu Upon clicking the Retrobat.exe, it changed my es_systems.cfg. It only listed my Ports section and a section that had multiple emulators in the system folder. I have a large sized SD adapter where I place many of the system roms. I guess the fork from Retrobat configures items that way by default, so I might have to ask Kayl for some help on adjusting it so that it fits my settings.
