Just a follow-up question on setting up directories.

After creating the four folders:  
/home/cpi/games/retroarch/games  
/home/cpi/games/retroarch/saves  
/home/cpi/games/retroarch/states  
/home/cpi/games/retroarch/system

It’s not clear which directories I’m supposed to choose for which option.

The thread recommends setting up these options: System, Savefile, Savestate, File Browser

Can you just clarify which option goes with which folder?

Is this right?  
Savefile TO /home/cpi/games/retroarch/saves  
Savestate TO /home/cpi/games/retroarch/states  
System TO /home/cpi/games/retroarch/system  
File Browser TO /home/cpi/games/retroarch/games

Do you recommend setting up more directories?  
I see you have set up Downloads. Which folder is it attached to? Did you just create a Downloads folder (/home/cpi/games/retroarch/downloads)?
