It is possible to customize my own gamelist location? Empty It is possible to customize my own gamelist location?

Hello,

   I would like to know if, within retrobat, is it possible to customize the gamelist location. As far as I know, retrobat uses gamelist.xml from every system in its game rom folder location.
  What I want to do is to have a unique gamelist folder and inside that to have a folder of each and every system with its own gamelist.xml file where Retrobat can access and read.

        Example:
                               C:\Retrobat\EmulationStation\gamelists\amiga\gamelists.xml
                               C:\Retrobat\EmulationStation\gamelists\apple2\gamelists.xml
                               etc...

      Hope I have explained more or less what I whant to achieve (sorry for my english).

      Thank you in advance.

       Cheers!!

Hello

Behind this, what is your main goal, or why the actual configuration doesn't fit you ?
What do you want to achieve (maybe starting from the end, we can help you in a different way).

Hello @getupor,

 My only purpose is to have the gamelist.xml files separated from the roms folder. Of course is not a big issue. It's just I want to have it this way only if it's possible.
  In old versions of Emulationstation (not retrobat version) it is possible (there's is a gamelist folder where you can save your gamelist.xml files and emulationstation can read them so it is not necessary to have these files in every rom folder).

 I'm aware this is a minor question but if is it possible and anyone can help me I would really apreciatte your help Very Happy

So, in this case, maybe using "symbolic links" can answer to your expectations ?

An explanation here in french or here in english

  Not really. My wish is to have nothing but roms in its folder and gamelist files into a single folder ordered by system with subfolders.

  Anyway, thank you so much for your proposal @getupor  It is possible to customize my own gamelist location? 1f609
