 ## ✨ Features

- **Game downloads** : Support for ZIP files and handling of unsupported extensions thanks to the `info.txt` file in each folder (batocera), which automatically extracts if the system doesn't support archives.
+- **Game downloads** : Support for ZIP files and handling of unsupported extensions based on EmulationStation's `es_systems.cfg` (and custom `es_systems_*.cfg` on Batocera). RGSX reads allowed extensions per system from these configs and will automatically extract archives when a system doesn't support them.
  - Downloads require no authentication or account for most sources.
  - Systems marked `(1fichier)` in the name will only be accessible if you provide your 1fichier API key (see below).
 - **Download history** : View and re-download previous files.
 - **Multi-select downloads** : Mark multiple games in the game list with the key mapped to Clear History (default X) to enqueue several downloads in one batch. Press Confirm to start batch.
 - **Control customization** : Remap keyboard or controller keys to your preference with automatic button name detection from EmulationStation (beta).
+- **Systems grid layout**: Change the platforms grid (3x3, 3x4, 4x3, 4x4) from the Display menu.
+- **Show/hide unsupported systems**: Auto-hide platforms whose ROM folder is missing according to `es_systems.cfg`, with a toggle in the Display menu.
+- **Smarter system images**: Image loading prioritizes explicit `platform_image` from your systems list JSON before falling back to `<platform_name>.png` or folder images.
 - **Font size adjustment** : If you find the text too small/too large, you can change it in the menu.
 - **Search mode** : Filter games by name for quick navigation with virtual keyboard on controller.
 - **Multilingual support** : Interface available in multiple languages. You can choose the language in the menu.
 - **Error handling** with informative messages and LOG file.
 - **Adaptive interface** : The interface adapts to all resolutions from 800x600 to 4K (not tested beyond 1920x1080).
 - **Automatic updates** : the application must be restarted after an update.
+- **Automatic supported extensions cache**: On first use, RGSX reads `es_systems.cfg` (RetroBat/Batocera) and generates `/saves/ports/rgsx/rom_extensions.json` with allowed extensions per system.
+- **Retrobat gamelist auto-update**: On Retrobat, the Windows `gamelist.xml` is updated automatically at launch so your images/videos appear in EmulationStation.

 - Complete sources system overhaul: centralized management through `/saves/ports/rgsx/systems_list.json` (order preserved), automatic platform addition by dropping its JSON file into `/saves/ports/rgsx/games/` (auto-created if missing) — after first creation edit the generated "dossier" field so it matches your downloads folder structure.
 - Systems visibility filter menu (show/hide platforms with persistent hidden list in settings)
