        That other post they are just saying there's a couple locations that es_systems.cfg can be stored. One place is global (/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg) and the other place is local (or custom ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg). Your local one will take precedence over the global one if it is present. When you install/uninstall emulators, only the global version gets updated but the local/custom one you have to update manually.

        cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
        

        Here's the documentation on it:

          FIXED!

          It was so simple to fix this. It appears that the es_systems.cfg file was not updating when the new emulator was installed, so I just had to delete the old one and it created a file on reboot.
