Scraper - multiple versions of gamelist.xml and download folders
-
The details of my system appear in my signature.
I've searched the forum and found one topic that is relevant but there wasn't much information.
My issue is that I've used a number of different scrapers - Emulationstation's internal scraper, Stephen Selph's scraper (both Windows commandline and the Retropie GUI version) and the Universal XML scraper. I've noticed there are now multiple gamelist.xml lists and download folders. For example, my Atari 2600 rom folder now has a gamelist.xml plus a download_images folder inside it, but there is also the hidden .emulationstation folder containing a downloaded_images sub-folder and gamelists sub-folder which appears in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation folder.
Sometimes not all images for a system are showing up in emulationstation as a result.
Could I ask please if one gamelist.xml takes precedence over another (or is there a "master" list?) and, if so, is there any way of changing the master list or consolidating them all? (I've tried copying and pasting (ie effectively appending) the contents from one gamelist.xml to another, but without much result). Someone in another topic did mention es_systems.cfg may provide the answer to this.
Any insight or help would be appreciated. Thank you.
