      Hi,

      I have a Pi3 Model B running Emulation Station in Retropie 4.3 and am having an issue. My default theme on start up used to be the Swineapple theme, but I must have done something along the line to mess it up. Now no matter what I do, it starts with the Retrorama theme engaged. Even if I set the theme to Swineapple in the menu, then close out and re-start, it goes back to Retrorama. Is there a cfg file somewhere where I can hard set the default theme on start up? Any help or advice is truly appreciated. Thanks.

        @pumpkinrat The settings for ES should be in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.txt, you can modify it with the nano editor from the terminal. You can check the ES start log from /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt to see if any errors are logged.
