      Hi,

      I've looked and yet can't find any information. Is there a way to add an emulator to retropie/emulation station that isn't in the package options?

      I am running LMDE 3 - Cindy and having huge issues with the PSX emulators within the retropie packages. I have downloaded, installed, set-up and configured PCSXR as a standalone emulator, working, no issues from the software manager.

      On the windows version of emulation station, you must add command lines to the config to find the file paths of each emulator, roms. Is this possible on linux/debian? If so, how? I don't know where the config file for emulation station is placed on the system, thanks.

        It's documented in the Emulationstation docs section.

          @mitu Thanks for the reply,

          Unfortunately this is not the information I was wanting. This information is good IF your using packages within Retropie but not external emulators away from Retropie. It doesn't explain why it would load an emulator but not dump the rom on load up.

          sorry I am new to the fine detail on simple codes. Thanks for the help
