Pandafe and PCSX (with the enabled function "hide associated files") display it as this:
path/to/roms/psx/
genre1/
game1
game2
genre2/
game3
- Pandafe considers the parent of a rom to be its genre.
Therefore a rom's associated files (a set consisting of multiple files, i.e. cue&bin) must reside directly within the genre folder, not nested within a rom-folder within the genre folder. - Otherwise Pandafe mistakes "rom-folder" as the genre.
- Therefore this "flat" file layout does not result in a overcrowded rom list.
