        @edmaul69 Thank you so much for the suggestion. There was no ports section listed. Should there be? and what should it look like if there is supposed to be one? Thanks

              @columboscoat Are you referring to the core packages?

                @slydisciple sorry, I meant the reams of code, not your issues. The Forum allows code within codeblocks which makes it easier to view and for people to debug it..

                  @columboscoat Hey, no problem, I truly understand. Come to find out edmaul69 was right! I found a snippet of code on google, and pasted it into both of the es_systems.cfg file and it is now showing. Pasting for anybody who needs it.

                  <system>
                  <name>ports</name>
                  <fullname>Ports</fullname>
                  <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path>
                  <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
                  <command>%ROM%</command>
                  <platform>pc</platform>
                  </system>

                    update retropie-setup (you should then be on v 4.1.10) and re-install the port from the manage packages section and then reboot. If it doesnt appear please post the output of

                    grep -A6 "<name>ports" /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

                      @slydisciple its going to be listed like all others just named ports. If it isnt alphabetically in the p section look at the bottom of the file. Just copy it from the one file over to the other.

                        Have you checked down inside the sofa cushions? When I lose stuff it's usually there!

                            @slydisciple Yeah I went through the exact same issues getting ports working and had to type it in from scratch. Glad you were able to find the coding on google.
