        Yes, Forgot you could do that. :)

        checked es_system.cfg at an XML Validation site and got no errors.

        Here's the link, thanks

          @stephendm There are a lot of warning messages in es_log.txt about missing files in the heycromey theme. Could you try the default Carbon theme? Restart ES and let me know how you get on.

          Feel free to post a copy of es_log.txt after you have restarted ES if it's still not working.

              @stephendm Line 7 in es_log.txt tells me that ES is loading the default es_systems in /etc/emulationstation, not your custom version.

              Can you run the command ls /home/pi/.emulationstation and check that es_systems.cfg exists in that folder?

                @dudleydes said in Atari2600 & Custom Collections!:

                ls /home/pi/.emulationstation

                I have reformat my sd card, new retropie image, updated system and download new theme heychromey.
                created a new flash2 image folder and new flash2 rom folder.

                    @stephendm There is a dot/period at the end of your config file, es_systems.cfg. - remove it and you should be good.

                        @stephendm I'm glad you now have everything running as you wish.

                        The spurious dot/period originates from the command I gave in an earlier post that creates a copy of es_systems.cfg , which I copied from the documentation, which I initially wrote so the error is on me.

                        I cannot edit the wiki at the moment but I will fix once permissions are restored.
