      @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:

      Genre:
        Racing
          Racing-Car
          Racing-Kart
          Racing-Bike
          Racing-Boat
          Racing-Plane
          Racing-OffRoad
          Racing-Toy
          Racing-Demolition
          Racing-Hover
          Racing-Snow
        Driving
        Vehicular-Combat
        Flight-Sim
        Space-Sim
        Tank
        Mech
        Shooter
          Shooter-Rail
          Shooter-LightGun
          Shooter-Flight
          Shooter-Tunnel
        Action
        Adventure
          Point-Click
        Action-Adventure
        Action-RPG
          Hack-Slash
          Run-Gun
        RPG
        Platformer
          Platformer-3D
        Brawler (Beat 'Em Up)
        Fighter
          Fighter-2D
          Fighter-3D
        Sports
          Sports-Snow
          Sports-Skate
          Sports-Bike
          Sports-Blade
          Sports-Wrestle
          Sports-Baseball

        Rhythm
        Management-Sim
        Stealth
        Turn-Based
        Maze
        Shmup
          Shmup-Vert
          Shmup-Horz

        2.5D
      
      Theme:
        Horror
        SciFi
        Fantasy
        Post-Apocalyptic

        X-Men
        Avengers
        Hulk
        FPS
        Rampage
        MegaMan
        SuperHero
        Batman
        Spiderman
        Superman
        DC
        Spawn
        Star-Wars
        Tetris
        Worms
        Mortal-Kombat
        LEGO
        Jurassic-Park
        Dinosaurs
        Punisher
        Pong
        DnD
        Donkey-Kong
        Cartoon
        Golden-Axe
      

      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.

          @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.
