gamelist only

KarlZimmer

Hello
First, sorry for my english :p
New to batocera with an XU4 after long time with recalbox and a Pi 3
In recalbox, there was an option really interesting not available in batocera. With this fonction, ES only load Gamelist files without loading and analysing folders roms so that loading became faster.
Is it possible to do the same in batocera as I prepare my gamelist files with my computer ?

hum, can you give me the name of this option please ?
batocera is made from recalbox. i don't think that somebody continued my work on recalbox since i give it up, so i guess that this option is already in batocera.

Here's a link https://www.recalbox.com/blog/en/post/blog-2017-02-22-bootoptions/

GAMELIST ONLY : only show games contained in the gamelist.xml file (located in your roms directories). This option highly speeds up boot time when you have scraped games, but new games will not be detected.

And There's also a video of this advanced Menu

I found this line on recalbox but don't work on batocera: "emulationstation.gamelistonly=1"
I tried "system.es.gamelistonly=1" but same issue
Maybe something to do in es_settings.cfg

The command-line option in Emulationstation is called: "--gamelist-only":
