Change PC Engine to TurboGrafx-16

showstopper

I was going to reply to the below thread but it asked if i wanted to create a new topic.

Re: Any way to show TurboGrafx 16 instead of PC Engine?

I have created the 'platforms.cfg' file and i have one line in it pcengine_theme="tg16" The file is in /opt/retropie/configs/all/
I updated the setup script and updated the lr-beetle-pce-fast, lr-beetle-supergrafx cores, rebooted and it still stays on PC Engine.

Is this working with the latest update?

EDIT - I am running 4.5.2

I think that you need to re-install of the PC-Engine emulators so that the change is applied to Emulationstation's config.

@mitu Thank you for replying. I removed the two packages, and then installed from binary, rebooted and no change.
Did I do that correctly?

The thread you linked to mentions two lines:

pcengine_theme="tg16"
pcengine_platform="tg16"

Yeah the wiki says to just change the one line - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/PC-Engine
But i did try both and no luck.

Do you need to update via binary or source?

EDIT - OK the only way i got it to work was to change the es_systems.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/ and change the pc engine theme to tg16, rebooted and now working. Although from what i have read this will get removed when i update.

@showstopper no that location will not be overwritten. You will have to manually update that file from now on if you add new systems to emulation station.
