I have formatted your post - please format posts as I mentioned in my previous post.

config looks ok - I suspected `ParseGamelistOnly" might be set, which would mean new roms don't show up - but it's fine.

If your rom has the correct extension it should show up in the list - what shows and doesn't show is based on the file extension.

it is a simple .smc file. I uploaded it above to my dropbox. would be great if you could give it a try.

Please email me the details - buzz [at] exotica.org.uk and I will test when I get a moment - It is against the forum rules to post links to roms - even for debugging issues.

naddel81

will do. thanks for your help!

@ BuZz: did you find the time to test the rom, yet?

best wishes!

BuZz

Not yet.

naddel81

ok, but you got the mail, right?
best wishes!

BuZz

I did. thanks.

Shows up and work fine here.

I have the translated Clocktower working fine on my system. Just for the heck of it, will it show up if you rename it to a .sfc file (that's how mine is) and then restart EmulationStation?
