I don't think ES will find gamelists in a subfolder: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#scraper
ES will check three places for a gamelist.xml in the following order, using the first one it finds:
[SYSTEM_PATH]/gamelist.xml
~/.emulationstation/gamelists/[SYSTEM_NAME]/gamelist.xml
/etc/emulationstation/gamelists/[SYSTEM_NAME]/gamelist.xml

@sleve_mcdichael Mmmm, interesting, and there is anyway of displaying the games in subfolders editing the main gamelist? To have hacks, and other special stuff in subfolders witch his images?

Yeah having games inside subfolders should be no problem, as long as their path falls inside the "system path" (
~/RetroPie/roms/snes, etc.) defined ines_systems.cfg. If you try to point a gamelist for a system at a rom file outside of this system path, ES won't like it and will skip that entry.
