Launcher scripts

Run Tools -> Scan id Tech Files to create launch scripts, and EmulationStation should restart automatically and populate the gamelists. If you don't see the id Tech system in ES, then rescan gamelists, restart EmulationStation, or reboot the unit. This can be re-run at any time should you add additional game files.
