[Recalbox 7.0.1] es_systems.cfg file does not exist! / Hide some extensions file

[Adrian Nawrocki]

Hello,

I have one problem. I wanted to hide the detection of some file extensions on cores.

Example:

On X68000 i have .dim (like bin) and .m3u (like .cue file on psx).
I want to hide .dim file

On Amiga CD i have .cue and .iso and i want to hide .iso file

In Recalbox 5-6.x.x it was very simple. It was enough to edit the file:
/recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
In Recalbox 4.x.x file:
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

In Recalbox 7.0.1 this file is not exist! It even shows an error related to it in the system logs. Last log.

[1980/01/01 02:00:14.695] (WARN!) : /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file does not exist!

And here comes the question. How do I hide some extensions file?

Just don't tell me to hide it from the menu. I have several thousand roms and it would take me forever to hide them.

Best,

Adrian

No es_systems.cfg file on internal and external .emulationstation folder

i tried copy es_systems.cfg from /etc/emulationstation, but no results

/recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
/recalbox/share_int/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

@Adrian-Nawrocki
Isn't it easier for you to hide these files from your gamelist?
Skraper can do this for you, see this tutorial (enable subtitles):

This part about hiding some types of files is mentioned as of 06:25.

Or, if you prefer, you can use ARRM:
