Emulators Not Displaying
-
There aren't any specific Gameboy emulators, but I have lr-gambatte, lr-gpsp, lr-mgba, lr-vba-next, gpsp, and lr-tgbdual installed currently.
-
What does this show you?
ls -lah /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gb -
When I type that command it displays all the roms I currently have in that directory. I also typed that command for all of the emulators I currently have roms for and they all show up as well.
-
Do you have a couple of example filenames?
Have you tried using the RetroPie image instead of building from source?
-
Final Fantasy Adventure (USA).gb and Final Fantasy Adventure (USA).zip. I haven't tried from the image yet. Where I'm currently at for the next couple of months I need a web browser to connect to the internet so I need Raspbian for as far as I know unless there is a browers for RetroPie or EmulationStation.
-
The image includes Raspbian, thats the OS. Then the RetroPie scripts are on top of that.
But yes, there isnt an X window system pre-installed on the image.I'm not sure why they arent showing up for you, unless its a permission related issue.
Are they all accessible by user pi?Did you follow these steps exactly?

Yes, I followed those instructions exactly.

please post (via a pastebin site or formatted in a code block on the forum) the contents of
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfgand any.cfg/.logfiles in/home/pi/.emulationstation(change the pi user if you installed under another) -

I see the problem.
The problem is you have enabled ParseGamelistOnly - which will mean it doesn't scan for roms and only shows items from scraped gamelists. Hence your roms are not showing up.
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/FAQ
Parse Gamelists Only: If on, it will only read the roms you have scraped, so if you add any new roms it will not look for them unless you turn this back off. it is off by default.
also - are you aware any es_systems.cfg in
/home/pi/.emulationstationwill override the retropie-setup generated/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg- you probably dont want that unless you are happy to maintain it manually. -
That fixed my issue. All the emulators are now showing up, thank you very much for the help. Thank you all for your assistance with this matter.

I did a lot of searching for the answer to this. Glad it's still here.
I must have tweaked this setting a while ago and forgot about it. -

From your previous comment. If I where to accidently change permissions how would I go about fixing it? My problem is my emulators aren't showing up. All my files are in order but I have noticed my /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
does not update automatically when I install a new package I have to do it manually. It worked for nds but can't seem to get it to work for snes. But I do remember accidently messing with permissions before hand at some point.
