      Hello All,
      I'm am trying to get jzintv emulator running on Retropie but not having much success. I would like to use Jzintv rather than lr-frreeintv since jzintv support the intellivision voice. I do have the Atari2600 emulator working so RetroPie is setup correctly. I have setup all of the needed configuration files based on info from the RetroPie docs and from the RetroPie setup on Github, as well as the required bios and exec files and have install several game roms. Neither the game or emulationstation logs were of any help.

      I think the missing piece of the puzzle is how to tell Emulationstation there is a new emulator installed. Am I suppose to manually edit the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file or it is somehow done automatically?

      RetroPie image, Version 4.8
      PS3 controller
      RPi4

      Thanks
      Mark

        Did you actually install the jzintv emulator from the RetroPie-Setup script under "optional packages"?

        It should be automatic, yeah. Can you show the RP-Setup log from when you installed jzintv? Logs are at ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/. They are compressed in .gz format; you can extract them with gunzip or view in place with zless. Only the 20 most recent logs are retained -- if you can't find the one that installed jzintv, please try installing it again.

          I wasn't aware that was an option. On the "Please choose a package from below"; jzintv showed jzintv (Installed - via unknown). I selected Install from Source and it is now up and running. I have a few launch issues but I should be able to work those out. Thanks much for your help.
