      Hi,

      When I add games to the roms folder and I'm in Emulation Station the only way I know how to update the games list is hit F4 and exit to the CLI and then type exit to get back into ES where everything is updated, is there a better way?

      Thanks

          Yes, while you are in emulation station, you can hit the start button on your controller (I'm assuming here that your controller is setup correctly) then select "quit" which will load the next menu with several options, the first of which should be "restart emulation station"... select that and when ES restarts, your ROMs lists should be refreshed. :-)
