No unfortunately that didn't work. I tried it twice incase I made a typo.

Looking at the log might help. To do that you'll need to familiarize yourself with SMB or SFTP so that you can copy the log contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt and post it here.

Can I do that using WinScp?

[mediamogul]

@Muddyhardcore

Yessir.

Says I don't have enough privileges to attach the file

es_log.txt

We might be getting somewhere. Now post the contents of /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/ports/gamelist.xml. You can also use pastebin if it's easier.

@mediamogul
It's blank

[Muddyhardcore]

From /home/pi when I open the .emulationstation folder I'm then brought to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation

From there /gamelists/ports gameslist.xml and gamelist.xml.bak are both blank

To quote the big book of mechanic clichés, there's your problem. Exit out of Emulation Station completely and then copy the following into your /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/ports/gamelist.xml.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gameList>
</gameList>

You can also delete /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/ports/gamelist.xml.bak. When you restart ES, you should be good to start adding info. I don't know why it wouldn't have added that information when it created a new file.
