Nope. I’m pretty sure that’s accurate information.

The switch --gamelist-only can be used to skip automatic searching, and only display games defined in the system's gamelist.xml

To use the switch, you specify it when you load emulationstation. Like this:

emulationstation --gamelist-only

You can do that from the command line, but to have that be the default, you need to edit the file that loads emulationstation after the Pi boots up, which is /etc/profile

The last line of /etc/profile translates to “if this isn’t an SSH session, load emulationstation”. Change it to this to add the switch

[ -n "${SSH_CONNECTION}" ] || emulationstation --gamelist-only
