## It seems like gamelist.xml files in the ROMs directory tree are no longer getting loaded as of ES-DE 2.0?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, to optionally read gamelist.xml files from the ROMs directory tree in previous releases was a mistake as it has caused a lot of confusion as well as invalid bug reports. As such the logic has now been changed to only read these files from .emulationstation/gamelists/ which is where they belong. If you insist on retaining the old logic you can do so by manually setting LegacyGamelistFileLocation to true in es_settings.xml as explained [here](INSTALL-DEV.md#settings-not-configurable-via-the-gui), but it's definitely not recommended.
