I may be speaking blind here, but have you tried simply editing the \GameEx\DATA\EMULATORS database file?

I just popped open one of the files in Access and can easily see the section where catagory is defined. A simple search & replace function should be able to go through and simplify the catagories for you.

Just make sure you back them up, so when you install the next version of gameex, they aren't overwritten and returned to their default state.
