        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.

            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.
