      @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
