      Are there any gamelist.xml to .csv file converters? If not I can make a program that converts the XML to CSV and vice versa.

      Just let me know wassup, homeboy.

        No one? I am working on this to manage my own xml files (mostly making sure the genres are consistent). I'll probably be done within a week, if any wants it let me know ;)

          @madmodder123 there are multiple sites that convert XML to csv. Google is your friend.
          Maybe it's worth trying before writing your own code.

              Also I wasn't sure if the online ones added missing tags or not (the actual field not the data) so mine will have Retropie specific functions ;)

                @madmodder123 I've actually been doing so using online converters. It's a bit of a pain but it works.

                If you do put together a small command line utility, though, do share it - it would save me a lot of time in the process:)

                Batch editing in a spreadsheet is much easier than in XML, I do agree!
