      Hey guy, where's the location of the game list folder? My ES, keeps throwing that error, when I shut down. I'm assuming it has something to do with my Scraper freezing up. I'd like to find those files and correct the paths or what ever is wrong with them.

          This link might help but I found it easier to just restore from backup. When you exit Emulation Station to a prompt it usually shows all the missing files. I did it once and it was painfully slow restoring all the files. Not to mention you need the proper names and descriptions for the RetroPie gamelist.xml but that info is in the link below.
