      @dormonid you just scrape once your folder structure is setup, not before. Scraping stores roms path, so if you move your roms, the scrape has to be updated

      If you wish to add a logo to the konami folder, i'm afraid you cannot. But why not try it manually, it's just some xml

        let me clear this : you are not adding a system, like those on the main screen + white bar. You're just organizing roms inside a system

            @dormonid for Mame games, you will also havevto duplicate bios rom in each subfolder forveverything to work.

            Example: if you create a neogeo subfolder you will have to place neogeo.zip rom inside it for neogeo gales to work

              @Substring sorry. I feel like a complete idiot. I still doesnt understand. Maybe we are talking about different things?

              If youre talking about Scraping the act of write description and add box art and screenshots to a game, this I understand how to do.

              Im talking about add an entire system, exactly on the main screen (white bar).

              I know I can add multiple arcade systems because I have just played a recalbox version with this exact same configuration. I can record a movie and upload to youttube to show what I mean.

              Apparently this is pretty basic stuf and im struggling like hell to make this happen. I feel bad for myself lol.

              Let me record a video to show what im talking about

                @dormonid to add a system you must edit /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

                But i wouldn't recommend it, it gets erased on each update

                that's why the subfolder thing is much easier (and folders can be scraped ... manually)

                    @dormonid so :

                    • batocera is a fork from recalbox, from someonewho contributed much to recalbox and then decided to go on his own. We don't do support for Batocera
                    • looks like this is someone selling batocera
                    • that's a combination of theme and system. Everything you are looking for is in /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation (you can't reach that folder from windows shares, you need winscp)

                      @Substring yes. Batocera uses recalbox, but in my opinion there is nothing better than recalbox 4.0. Not even 4.1 comes closer so far 😄

                      These guys dont sell the system per-se, but use it to advertise their store. Thats the main reason why I want to make a clean copy of recalbox for myself. I hate this poluted theme and all the advertise that goes within.

                      Im trying to make a good, clean, recalbox 128gb iso without ads and with nice themes. Still reading all the manuals and tutorials for scrapping though.

                      Thank you for your help!

                                @substring @paradadf may I ask another question? Its impossible to me to copy the ROMS from my PC to the recalbox using the network. My network isnt stable enough apparently to copy the games. They keep showing errors and telling me to try again and copy again and again. Im trying to copy a single PSX game for about an hour and this piece of s**t keeps failing to copy. What other possibilities I have to transfer tthe games to the SD CARD? I know theres a way to insert a full USB KEY but other than that, what can I do to copy the games to the SD CARD (right now im trying an 64gb sd card.

                                  @dormonid just follow this instructions. (There a maaaaaaaaany ways!)

                                  You could even use the file manager from Kodi to do it with an interface.
