      @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.
