      @dankcushions it wasn't in my es_system.cfg so it doesn't appear if I got the functionality of the config right

        @dankcushions said in lr-ppsspp emulator does not work, please help !!:

        that must be some sort of bug if true. there's nothing special about psp that would make it not appear. editing es_systems.cfg is generally a bad idea.

        It was installed properly. why is it a bad idear ? I also had to edit the es_systems.cfg to add kodi and raspbian in retropie. Not because i had to but because i wanted to. I just did not want to have to quit retropie if i wanted to go to kodi or raspbian so this works perfectly after editing the es_systems.cfg.

        If it also work with psp then it great for me

          @darthlink I downloaded the lr-ppsspp emulator and edited my es_system.cfg and it is showing up now, so it should work for you... As I don't want to download a rom for it I can't test it (just created a empty testrom.iso to test if it shows up)

            @darthlink you shouldn't be recommending people edit es_systems.cfg if they don't know what the repercussions are especially when if psp was installed properly it should be generated by default. There is no reason it shouldn't be generating unless it either didn't install properly or user error.

              @herb_fargus Basicly this is totally right and I experienced this behavior before, but for me it doesn't work for ppsspp (like it doesn't for darthlink)

              so I edited it manually and it works... I don't know what is going on, I'm using the latest retropie version

                it is not too hard to do in a comand prompt: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

                then go in manage packages then optional packages and just choose either ppsspp or lr-ppsspp and it does install all with no error

                Probleme is that even after a reboot, it was still not in retropie and not in es_systems.cfg

                i have a backup of es_systems.cfg and a full backup of my raspberry pi 3 so i dont know why the fuss about giving and receiving help that may solve an issue but i am appreciating all help because this is what this is about right, helping each other.

                    @darthlink my guess, you have turned 'parse gamelists only' on, in the emulationstation options. you should have it turned off.

                      @dankcushions yes, thats true, but if you want it as a "own" system on the system carousel you have to add them to the es_systems.cfg

                        @dankcushions well, I completely forgot about that one...

                        However it was turned off when I installed ppsspp and it didn't show up

                          do you mean there: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh ?

                          i just went there and i cant find parse gamelist only ??

                              kodi also automatically appears in ES once installed (in the ports menu). and raspbian/pixel i expect (i don't use it)

                              When i installed kodi, i did not even know about the port menu, i only found that out 2 days ago. i originally went there because i was looking for a way to add more scrapper and i found that here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper it is where i saw that there was also the ppsspp and lr-ppsspp emulator that i could install so i did it and you know the rest loll

                              But editing the es_systems.cfg was good for me to add both kodi and raspbian with pixel to emulationstation ;)

                                  @darthlink There is:
                                  cat /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

                                  it contains something like that:

                                  <bool name="ParseGamelistOnly" value="false" />

                                      Now my emulation wont start because its telling me that es_systems.cfg cant be loaded.

                                      So i removed the part i changed witch was the psp part and then everything is working back again.

                                      Can you please tell me what is wrong with my psp part that make emulationstation not loading ?

                                      there it is:

                                      <system>
                                      <name>psp</name>

                                      <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS>
                                      <plateform>psp</plateform>
                                      <theme>psp</theme>
                                      </system>

                                        @darthlink not sure what a plateform is and tags have to match command does not match with ROMs.

                                        Might just be easiest for you to delete your es_systems config and do a full install

                                          i do not need to delete my es_systems.cfg because it is working right now with the psp part removed.

                                          if that line does not match <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS> then what should it be?

                                            yeesss a new advance, now psp is finally showing in emulationstation.

                                            i added back the psp part but i changed this <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS> to <command>bash %ROMS%</command>

                                            the only problem now is that the rom i have in it witch is little big planet does show but it does not start. i get the error:

                                            bash %ROM% no such file or directory

                                            so anyone can help me to be able to start a rom in psp please ?
