+# directory where it is located; therefore, the file structure given
+# by the epsxe team must be preserved.
+# 2) Check if the user's $HOME has a ".epsxe" directory. This is only a way
+# to have links to the plugins directory, that was given write permissions
+# to the games group.
+
+# Check for the $HOME/.epsxe dir.
