## I can't find any game media links in the gamelist.xml files, where is this data stored? ## I can't find any game media links in the gamelist.xml files, where is this data stored?
ES-DE works completely different compared to all other EmulationStation forks when it comes to handling of game media. There are no links in the gamelist.xml files, instead media files are simply matched against the ROM/game file name which makes for a much simpler, faster and completely portable setup. So replacing a game media file manually just involves copying a new file in place to overwrite the old file, no further updates are needed. Also see the next question below for more information.

Yes to a certain extent this is supported and already used by some people. Few if any dedicated scrapers are updated specifically to support ES-DE though, so you may need to do some manual renaming and moving of files and directories for the time being. See the _Manually copying game media files_ section of the [User guide](USERGUIDE.md#manually-copying-game-media-files) for more details about this.
