      Hopefully a bit of an easy one, previously using built in scraper however downloaded images saved within the ES folder, however decided to upgrade artwork and got a load currently sitting in a folder called "boxart" within the ROM folders, is there a quick/bulk way to change the location of the file in the gamelist?

      So basically change

      <image>/home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/psx/Alien Trilogy-image.png</image>
      to
      <image>/ .boxart/Alien Trilogy.png</image>

        Copy the PSX gamelist.xml file to your PC and create a backup copy in case you get undesired results and you need to start over. Open the file in a text editor and use the Search for and Replace feature. Copy the file back to your pi after you have exited ES.
