"Windows" game list takes 30~ seconds to load
« on: June 08, 2017, 08:37:20 AM »
Quite a long time. Is there any way I can lower the time, other than removing games and maybe buying an SSD? Due to the nature of the platform, one game will compromise many folders and files (as opposed to one .rar or one .iso), which adds up, so I imagine it takes RetroFE a while to scan them all and find all the .lnk needed to assemble the list of games.

Maybe if I could set it to ignore all the folders except a subfolder called "lnk" were I have all the .lnk files?

.lnk files would certainly work; you could even put those directly in the roms directory, and turn off the hierarchical search.
