                Is this a Genesis / Megadrive issue? If you put the games in the Megadrive folder does it work?

                        @foxen556 the files for genesis do not go in the genesis folder..they go in the megadrive folder. The genesis folder is just there as a link to the megadrive folder.

                        The Sega Genesis IS the Meagdrive. It Was called the Mega Drive in the UK and Japan..released in Japan then the UK...because the US HAS to be different or something they changed the name.

                        Look in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive folder see if they are there. Emulation Station does NOT look in the genesis folder for roms

                        People want things easy...but then complain that life is boring...
