      Hi,

      First, can someone explain what the gamelist.xml file does and why it is in every rom folder?
      It seems that in the process of adding and deleting roms a few of my folders are now missing the gamelist.xml file. I probably deleted it by accident.

      What is the proper way to add and edit it if needed?

      Thanks!

          You only need it if you're scraping games. I would suggest using this to scrape your games from desktop and then transferring the gamelist.xml and stuff over.
