      Hello,
      as the title said, Emulationstation is showing few of games but not every. Like not snes or nes.
      So what I did so far:

      • searching everywhere on the internet, no solution helped me.
      • Fresh installation, from the last IMG.
      • ROMs have good extension, not corrupted, unzipped
      • Transfered from USB, I can see ROMs in the file manager
      • Parse Gameslists Only to OFF
      • reboot emulationstation and retropie several times

      In home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/ only gb folder is having gamelist.xml but megadrive is listed in emulstation (no folder here)

      I hav no solution, few hours I'm on it, I did flash again retropie, no change...

      Thank you for your help !

        @pandasan What's in the ES log file, at /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt ? Paste it on pastebin.com and show us the output.
        Also, can you give a specific example of a ROM not working ?

          Sorry no possiblity to past from retropie at the moment, but I get this following line for every system that is not displayed:

          lvl1: Warning from theme "/etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/arcade/theme.xml"
           (from included file "/etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/arcade/../carbon.xml")
            could not find file ""
          

          So if I understand... I need to update the theme ?

            @pandasan Update it or download and switch to another theme, like Pixel or SNES Mini. Did you modify the theme's contents ?

              @mitu So that was interesting ! Well, the theme had problem, fixed by changed to nes-mini theme (beautiful one !)
              But problem was, from the USB transfer method, folder was generated like "SNES" but emulationstation need "snes"...

              Thank you for your help !
