      @ln_rc I think you misunderstood. I already have these consoles in my build. I'm trying to edit the display of them in the Fundamentals theme. For example, they all show up in the Supersweet theme. When I choose Atari XEGS, I get the correct console name in the main list, there's a background, etc. In other themes such as Fundamentals, that theme doesn't feature Atari XEGS. So I copied the Atari ST folder to accomplish this in the theme. But I can't change it on the list. See attached examples. The first one, Supersweet shows both Atari ST and Atari XEGS. The second one, Fundamentals, has Atari ST twice (even though the games inside are Atari XEGS.

        Post the es_systems.cfg fragment that you added for the new system.

              @drdave79 The es_systems.cfg looks fine. Can you upload the theme that you modified somewhere to take a look ?

                @mitu It's the Fundamental theme that I'm focused on, but a majority of themes are blank for systems like Atari XEGS, Arcadia, Channel F, etc.

                  @drdave79 Right, but in order to support a new system you have to add something to the theme, otherwise it won't work. Post your modified theme somewhere so we can take a look and see why it's not working.

                      The forum doesn't allow uploads, that why I said post your modified theme somewhere - Gdrive, OneDrive, iCloud, other file hosting service.

                        It looks like you need to find an Atari XEGS logo in .svg format to replace the one in the theme folder you copied (logo.svg).
