Consoles don't show up when Emulation Station boots

[dolfan1994]

I am using both Samba and an SFTP client to load the games and i'm not going crazy because I loaded Kingdom Hearts 2 to the psx folder and in the file directory its there. I also load Megaman to the SNES folder and its there in the file directory, but they do not load? Also i'm new to Linux how do I exit the file directory.

@dolfan1994 it could be something with your es_systems.cfg file.

If you go in through Windows explorer, it's in the configs folder.

Here is a link to the stock file:

I don't seem to have that file should I put that into my configs folder?

@dolfan1994 it's odd that enulationstation didn't create that. You might want to reinstall Retropie just in case you got a bad install.

Otherwise, the link below in addition to the other one I posted should allow you to create it.

You can use notepad or notepad++(preferably) to build the file.

Good luck.

I'll try this and tomorrow I can get back with results. Thank you.

@dolfan1994 ok. By the way, to be clear, the file is supposed to be either under configs->all->emulationstation or something like that. I can't exactly remember where, but if you get stuck I can check.
