Virtual systems do not map to any ROM folder: they dynamically gather games coming from several systems. They are themed exactly like the others, using a folder named as listed below.
Their visibility is configured in MAIN MENU > SYSTEM-LISTS & GAMELISTS SETTINGS, VIRTUAL SYSTEMS section: a disabled virtual system does not load its theme.
