    Hi. I'm after some help.
    I am trying to get game and watch to work on my pi3
    I have installed ir-gw from optional packages, (shows installed & ive updated) and created a folder called gameandwatch within my roms directory, ive got some roms in mgw format in that folder.
    Ive done the parse gamelist but nothing shows up.
    Ive installed several other emulators on my pi without any problems..
    Can anyone help me?
    thanks

      The install script for lr-gw should have created the gameandwatch folder and configure Emulationstation for this system. Do you have a custom es_systems.cfg file in the /home/pi/.emulationstation folder ? Rename/delete it and restart ES.

          Check the Runcommand log at /dev/shm/runcommand.log and see if you have an error reported there, the file should appear after trying to run a game and you're thrown back to the ES menu.
