      No matter what I do I can't get Amiberry to show up in the Retropie menu. Here's what I've done:

      1. Installed and updated Amiberry from Retropie Setup (duh). It shows as "Installed". UAE4ARM and UAE4ALL are also installed.

      2. Added the following lines to es_systems.cfg:

      <system>
      <fullname>Amiga</fullname>
      <name>amiga</name>
      <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga</path>
      <extension>.uae</extension>
      <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS amiga %ROM%</command>
      <platform>amiga</platform>
      <theme>amiga</theme>
      </system>

      1. Ensured these lines are in emulators.cfg in the configs/amiga folder:

      uae4all = "bash /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/+Start\ UAE4All.sh"
      default="amiberry"
      uae4arm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/uae4arm.sh auto %ROM%"
      uae4arm-a500 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/uae4arm.sh rp-a500.uae %ROM%"
      uae4arm-a1200 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/uae4arm.sh rp-a1200.uae %ROM%"
      amiberry = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh auto %ROM%"
      amiberry-a500 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a500.uae %ROM%"
      amiberry-a1200 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a1200.uae %ROM%"

      1. Ensured all the Kickstart ROMs are in my BIOS folder with the correct names (kick13.rom, kick31.rom etc)

      2. Put some Amiga .ADF files in my roms/amiga folder.

      And rebooting still stubbornly refuses to display the Amiga section in RP. What have I missed?

        @spudsmctoole Which es_systems.cfg file did you modify ? If you modified the file in /etc/emulationstation, but you also have a separate one in /home/pi/.emulationstation/, ES will always load the file from your homepage and any edits on the system config file will not be picked up.
        Normally, when installing a new emulator, the install script adds the proper system and ROM folder to the system config file (/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg), so you don't have to modify the file yourself.
        You can look in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt to see what folders is ES scanning.

          @mitu Turned out to be much simpler than that. This line:

          <extension>.uae</extension>

          Should have read ADF instead of UAE. All sorted now, excellent user-friendly emu :)
