What folder in retropie do .gen files go?

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive

That's what i thought but this page (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Se ... -Megadrive) says it doesn't accept .gen files?

This info is at bottom of page... .gen is listed as an extension

Advanced Configuration:

If you are from the United States it is likely that you had the Sega Genesis rather than the Sega Megadrive. If you want EmulationStation to show the genesis menu and boxart instead of megadrive then you can change the file in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
