gamelist.xml
============
If a file named gamelist.xml is found, it will be parsed and the detailed GuiGameList will be used. This means you can define screenshots, descriptions, and alternate names for files.
Screenshots are meant to be 256x256, but ES won't stop you from using other sizes - they'll just be placed wrong.
An example gamelist.xml:
```<gameList>
<game>
<path>/home/pi/ROMs/nes/mm2.nes</path>
<name>Mega Man 2</name>
<desc>Mega Man 2 is a classic NES game which follows Mega Man as he murders eight robot masters.</desc>
<image>/home/pi/Screenshots/megaman2.png</image>
</game>
</gameList>
```
The path element should be the absolute path of the ROM. Special characters SHOULD NOT be escaped. The image element is the absolute path to an image to use (like a screenshot or boxart). Most formats can be used (including png, jpg, gif, etc.). Look up the SDL_image library for a full list. Not all elements need to be used.
