      So I'm on a Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie 4.2
      I installed the coleco emulator under the Optional Packages so I now see the coleco folder.
      I saved the coleco.rom file inside of the rom and bios folders.
      I copied some roms over into the coleco folder.
      I reboot my Emulation Station and I don't see Coleco.
      I tried with both zipped and unzipped roms and still nothing.

      What am I missing?

        @spyder918 parse gamelists on, alternate es_systems cfg. Or wrong rom extensions. One of those. Otherwise hard to advise as you did not fill out the information requested in the read me first page.

          I'm sorry..I don't understand your suggestions. Where do I set 'parse gamelists on'?
          And as far as the extensions, I thought the roms were supposed to be .col?

            @spyder918 you dont want parse gamelists on. Press start in emulationstation. Somewhere in the menu is the option.

                @spyder918 check and see if you have an es_systems.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/ if yes then delete it.
