      @mitu sorry that's exactly what I meant, new to all this. Yes the system is not showing up. I installed it from optional packages, and then hatari.

        Did you restart Emulationstation after adding the ROMs ? Are the ROM files with the right file extension (see the Docs) ?

          @mitu yes. Restarted several times and also using the correct .ST files. I can see everything is there if I add the roms on the PC but no system is showing up in retro pi, and the amount of total games available stays the same.

            Do you have a customized es_systems.cfg ? Did you make a copy of the default file and modified it ?

              @mitu I'm afraid that already surpasses my knowledge. How do I find that out?

                If you installed the image yourself, then you don't have a custom file - but you can check if you have one in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation.

                  Perhaps ES is currently set to not scan for new roms?

                      @Thorr69 thanks for the reply. How would I check to see if this is the case?

                        Iis the option "Parse Gamelists Only" checked in Emulation Station (ES) under "Main Menu" > "Other Options"? If so, uncheck it.

                          @mitu the contents of that folder are.

                          es_input.cfg
                          es_input.cfg.bak
                          es_log
                          es_log.txt.bak
                          es_settings.cfg
                          es_systems.cfg
                          es_temporaryinput.cfg

                          Thanks.

                            @Thorr69 thanks. Sadly it wasn't this, it was already set to off.

                              You seem to have a customized es_systems.cfg - how did you install RetroPie ?
