      Anybody have suggestions on what the best route to go for on extracting a list of every game you have loaded on your RetroPie?

      On to an excel spreadsheet for example?

        Do you only need the name, or do you want to get all other Metadata as well?

        If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

          @Zigurana just the name will do.
