Want the reverse, right? For the UI to only show whitelisted games (xml to be what is shown, not what is in the roms directory).

/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/mame/gamelist.xml is blank in my case

Or are you saying I can add “-gamelist-only” argument added in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg ???

Yeah that was a frikken disaster. Pretty much everything was broken.

I’m back to the full rom set except I ran it through RomLister and took out anything with controls other than 8 buttons or less. That gave me a batch file and I am back to I think 1900 files (instead of 2300).

So, I’m back to wanting a way to hide 90% of the games in EmulationStation’s MAME list. That seems to me like it is dynamic based on what roms are in the directory.

Reading above it seems like I should be able to do a custom gamelist.xml that will override the one that is building dynamically? Maybe I’ve made a gamelist.xml in a wrong folder. Yeah, has to be. Where should I look for the one that has been dynamically generated and I can I just alter that one and make it read only?

Thanks. Moving along now. Rebuilt a 0.375b set from an older set I had (using a dat file). Made a new unmerged set. Used romLister to make a batch to copy out only the ones I had controls for. Opened that in romCenter and selected only the ones I was interested in (few hundred). Making a new merged set in clrmamepro. Will remove unneccesary files in romCenter from there.

Okay, building an unmerged set. I also have a gameslist.xml from Rom Lister that removed dups, controls I don’t have, etc.

Can I push the resulting unmerged set through that xml before pruning the rest by hand?

Thanks
