[Question] What is the purpose of the RetroArch System folder option? #148

I'm in the process of rebuilding my media PC and I noticed AEL has an option for the RetroArch System folder. I'm curious, if I set that what does that do? What folder is the system folder?

I couldn't find any documentation on this, if someone can give me a quick overview I'd be happy to write up some documentation myself.

Currently it is used by the command Check Retroarch BIOSes in the Utilities menu.

In the future I have more plans for it, for example, if you configure the Retroarch executable, the system directory and the cores directory then AEL can do all the Retroarch/Retroplayer configuration for you.

Cool, thanks for the answer!
