i like your naming conventions, but i guess it would break everyone’s existing directory structure during an update?
i think your UI issues are already logged against the emulation station github project, along with a lot of other things!
i store all my roms on a USB stick – i don’t ever transfer them to the sd card that retropie is on, i just turn off the usb service and then either:
– symlink the directories
– or change the emulation station ‘es_systems.cfg’ file to point to the USB drive
this requires some command line work. it’d be great if the UI/emulationstation could set this up, but i’m not sure what that would look like.
