      Did you change any settings in Emulation Station ? eg "Parse gamelists only" ?

        @BuZz No, I didn't change any setting. I just setup wifi to transfer the roms.

          please ssh (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) in to the pi and post the output of the following commands (use a site like pastebin.com to host the info)

          ls -la ~/RetroPie/roms/snes/ | tail
          cat ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt
          cat ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

                      Can't see anything wrong - what is the output of

                      cat /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/snes/gamelist.xml
                      

                      and does it help if you rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/snes/gamelist.xml and reboot ?

                        @BuZz the result was:

                        <?xml version="1.0"?>
                        <gameList />

                        I realized that when I open the roms folder on Windows accessing "\retropie" the files are listed, but when I open by the retropie file manager it wasn't
                        Is it normal?

                          no - but what is strange is the files were showing in the output of the ls command - not sure what is going on here

                          please can you post me the output of dmesg to pastebin.com
