            Add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
            For a diagnostic log file, exit EmulationStation and start it from the terminal with

            emulationstation --debug
            

            Get the log file from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt and post it on pastebin.com.

                    Have you edited your EmulationStation's configuration file (es_systems.cfg) ? The logs don't show the folders for G&W or Atari Jaguar being read or analyzed by EmulationStation. Did you install the emulators ?

                      @mitu didnt edit the config, and yes I installed the emulatirs. think I should uninstall, delete the roms, reinstall and readd?

                        @Buckey-Jaw There's no reason to delete the ROMs, if they have the right extension. Have you toggled the 'Parse Gamelist Only' option in EmulationStation ?

                              Can you post the contents of the \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg on pastebin.com, just to check the game folders have been properly configured ?

                                  Well, I can tell you by looking at the file that both systems are not registered, so that's why they don't appear. The reason is that this is the 'custom' es_systems.cfg file, which is not updated by RetroPie when you install new emulators.
                                  You said that you didn't edit the configuration and you have a base image, but the base image doesn't have this file, it needs to be created manually - so I'm confused on what happened here.

                                    @mitu downloaded the standard image for 4.6 when it came out. Just installed some packages and that’s about it. I don’t recall changing that config file at all

                                      @Buckey-Jaw If you copied the file you posted from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg - as I asked - , then this is a custom EmulationStation configuration file. It doesn't come by default with the RetroPie image, and it has to be created by the user.

                                        @mitu I may have copied it from another pi. I’m remembering I borked something a while back. Need to stop messing with it when I’m tired :(

                                          The fix - if you haven't figured it out - is to simply remove the offending - custom - configuration file and restart EmulationStation.
