      Another "update all packages" - another issue :D
      This time it is about emulationstation.
      In specific: hiding the folders of the NAOMI-/Atomiswave- GD-Rom-Images in the Gamelist.

      I used to write the filetype in CAPITAL letters for the GD-Rom-Images (i.e. "/monkeyb/monkeyb.CHD" instead of "[...].chd") and removed the filetype ".CHD" in "/home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg".

      This method stopped working with the recent update of emulationstation.
      I had a look in my es_systems: *.CHD is still removed :/

      Is there anything i can do to make the folders vanish again from the gamelist?
      Would it be possible to hide folders in the future btw?

      tia and have a nice day! ;)

        Is it this issue?
        https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/

        If you modify the es_systems.cfg at its default location, it will be overwritten when ES is updated. Which is why they recommend creating a custom version and manually updating that copy if need be.

          @yfzdude No, it's not that.
          @sirhenrythe5th yes, that changed in the new version, inadvertently. Not sure if the old behavior will be restored.

            @mitu got it. Thank you for confirming the change in this specific behavior.
            I can live with that as i am using "favorites" within ES and dont have to browse the gamelists everytime.
