Add support for EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE)? This is a fork of RetroPie EmulationStation that has evolved quite a lot with additional functionality and changes to core logic. For instance media asset links are no longer used in the gamelist.xml files but instead the media files simply need to match the game ROM names. Overall the media handling has been rewritten almost completely. ES-DE also supports a number of additional media types compared to older forks like RetroPie ES.

The following directories are used for game media:

  • 3dboxes
  • backcovers
  • covers
  • fanart
  • marquees
  • miximages
  • physicalmedia
  • screenshots
  • titlescreens
  • videos

All are kept inside a media directory whose path is configurable, leading to a fully portable setup (it defaults to ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_media).
