I have one suggestion for a slight improvement for the manual scanner that i opened now, at the cost of the user having to manually rename files or directories to match the game by directory name:

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/13135

All my other suggestions are frankly too complex.

I don’t like the automatic scanner because it has a high rate of false negatives to me, because i use hacks all the time, in dos, consoles or even in scummvm games, and i change the configs, bats and sometimes executables of the original engines too.
