Oh I think that might be a problem copying the script to the forum I don't know why the slash is not showing up here. But I can assure you I have those / on my script.

mitu

You should use pastebin.com for large walls of text, it doesn't modify the formatting and it's easier to inspect.

COMMANDERY11

This might be a dumb question but how do get it on to the forum now that I pasted it onto pastebin.

mitu

@COMMANDERY11 You should post the URL you get after posting on the site. But if you're problem is solved, there's no need for it.

COMMANDERY11

Okay sadly It has not been fixed yet. https://pastebin.com/LecC53XE

I think I fixed the paths now though. Just so you know when I go onto file manger. To get to my .emulationstation I go to...

E:.emulationstation
Then to get to my roms
E:.emulationstation\roms
and lastly my Retroarch folder
E:.emulationstation\Retroarch

mitu

How are you starting Emulationstation ? Do you use a .cmd/.bat file ? What version of Emulationstation are you using ?

COMMANDERY11

I downloaded the installer on the official websites.

mitu

Try copying your es_systems.cfg back to the original location.

COMMANDERY11

Ok I copied it back into my C:\Users\izaya

That is where my .emulationstation would be

mitu

@COMMANDERY11 so, does it work ? If not, try copying it to C:\Users\izaya\.emulationstation.

COMMANDERY11

It does not work... Or you think I should put my .emulationstation back where it is supposed to be in my C:\Users\izaya location and leave my roms in the E: drive since downloading roms decreased my storage in my original drive and just change the paths on the cfg file you think that will work?

mitu

@COMMANDERY11 Sure, that should work.

COMMANDERY11

IT WORKED! Sorry for wasting your time bro. :(
