    Above is a link to a pic of my folder. In the scummvm folder is a folder called Lure. And this is what’s in the Lure folder. What’s wrong with these files? Anything wrong with them?

          Yes I have said in earlier replies. I have installed it. It took a half hour to do so. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled

          And I’ve rebooted many times. And in file manager I see the folders for the games.

              I can’t launch it when it’s not showing up on the main menu. No scummvm icon to launch it is the problem

              I can launch it from file manager. I have to go inside the scummvm folder and select the .sh file to start scummvm but I don’t want to have to do that.

              I want a scummvm icon to show up on the main menu

                @dogeymon I suspect there is something wrong with where the .sh file is. When I installed it, I don't recall it taking half an hour either. I deleted the .sh once and it vanished from Emulationstation for me too. I just reinstalled it and it came back.

                  @rbaker If I'm reading this thread correctly it looks like he has a custom es_systems.cfg file in /home/pi/.emulationstation/. He needs to add the system details or delete the custom file and fall back to the default.

                    What does adding the system details mean? I don’t know what you’re telling me to do nor how to do it.

                      @dogeymon If you don't know how to edit a text file I'm sorry I don't have time to teach you. Try googling it or searching here. It's been explained many many many times.
                      I would suggest you delete the es_systems.cfg file in /home/pi/.emulationstation/and just use the default where systems automatically get added.
                      Someone has created a custom config file, If it wasn't you, who was it?
