      Emulator: EmulationStation 'pc' folder

      Short Story: Pc metadata not saving on exit.

      Long Story: Removed ./configs/all/emulationstation/gameslists/pc folder. ES is pulling the right gameslist.xml file from my USB but will not save any changes on exit though it is checked. Seems to only be happening with the pc folder as atari and snes both work fine. Deleting the gamelist.xml file from the pc folder on my USB and then launching a game from pc and changing metadata on the pi does not cause the creation of a new gameslist.xml file either.
