      As the title suggests this is more of an ES thing but hopefully someone can help. I've been trying to set up Xenia as a new system but the rom files have no extension so I can't work out what to put to get the rom files seen by ES. The entry currently looks like this (with my pathetic attempts to get it to work included)

      <extension> *.* *.? *. ."" .null .0 0.0 </extension>
      

      I've also tried just leaving it completely empty.
      Is there a way of just getting it to see all files, regardless of extension (or lack thereof?)

        What do you mean they have no extensions? Doesn't it use .iso files?

        Worst case, treat it like ports: use a .sh file for the front-end and just have that have inside it the command that actually launches the game.

          I don't think so. Just decide on an ad-hoc extension to use and rename the file(s)/folder(s).

            Thanks, both - it turns out it is a quirk of the emulator and doesn't like it if there is an extension on particular types of roms. A .sh solution has worked though! Thanks again.
