      Is it possible to edit game metadata from my phone? I used the sselph scraper to scrape all roms and used the ES scraper to clean up some of the missing metadata after. For some reason, the ES scraper added Final Fantasy V metadata and box art to my Final Fantasy VII rom.

      I have been using Es File Explorer to add roms from my phone. I can't seem to find the gamelist.xml file using this app. What am i doing wrong?

        @monty819 Where are you looking for the gamelist.xml? What is the file path you are using?

            @monty819 That doesn't really tell me much. I've never used Es file explorer. What files can you see?
            gamelist.xml exist in 2 locations /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/"name of system" and /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation ( this path has a sym link to /home/pi/.emulationstation).
