ES Filter by Genre, Publisher/Developer, Players and Rating

@hurricanefan: I wouldn't have a clue how to make a script to do that. So far I've only made the change to a couple of systems. The plan was to then use those new genres to add a only a couple of custom collections, I didn't want too many.

Because I used a couple of different scrapers, and they all have their own Genre names (eg: Platform and Platformer), I need to clean up the Genres anyway. I figured I'd come up with my own Genre names. Here's the list I've come up with if anyone is curious:

Sure, if what I wanted to do worked, it would have made for a very large Genre Filter list, but that's a small price for being able to search for exactly what I wanted.

@mattrixk Wow, that is a long list. :)

@hurricanefan Heh, yeah... It just kind of grew. It's not a complete list, as I'm sure the "Collection" section will continue to grow as I go through more of my Gamelists.
