@Buckey-Jaw said in game and watch and jaguar now showing in 4.6:
Add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu RPi 4b canakit, 4.6 base image, overclocked 2GHZ 600MHZ
-
Have you edited your EmulationStation's configuration file (
es_systems.cfg) ? The logs don't show the folders for G&W or Atari Jaguar being read or analyzed by EmulationStation. Did you install the emulators ? -
@mitu didnt edit the config, and yes I installed the emulatirs. think I should uninstall, delete the roms, reinstall and readd?
-
@Buckey-Jaw There's no reason to delete the ROMs, if they have the right extension. Have you toggled the 'Parse Gamelist Only' option in EmulationStation ?
-
@mitu have not, let me test
-
@mitu no good. I also reinstalled from source, previously did from binary
-
Can you post the contents of the
\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfgon pastebin.com, just to check the game folders have been properly configured ? -
@mitu https://pastebin.com/6HQ2qE91
also, thanks for the help
-
Well, I can tell you by looking at the file that both systems are not registered, so that's why they don't appear. The reason is that this is the 'custom'
es_systems.cfgfile, which is not updated by RetroPie when you install new emulators.
You said that you didn't edit the configuration and you have a base image, but the base image doesn't have this file, it needs to be created manually - so I'm confused on what happened here. -
@mitu downloaded the standard image for 4.6 when it came out. Just installed some packages and that’s about it. I don’t recall changing that config file at all
-
@Buckey-Jaw If you copied the file you posted from
\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg- as I asked - , then this is a custom EmulationStation configuration file. It doesn't come by default with the RetroPie image, and it has to be created by the user. -
@mitu I may have copied it from another pi. I’m remembering I borked something a while back. Need to stop messing with it when I’m tired :(
-
The fix - if you haven't figured it out - is to simply remove the offending - custom - configuration file and restart EmulationStation.
-
@mitu not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I'll do that and let you know!
-
@Buckey-Jaw do I need to copy/paste from a default template? backed up before deleted and not ES wont launch
-
@Buckey-Jaw Which file - exactly - did you remove ? EmulationStation has a system configuration file, which should be read and used if the custom/user configuration file is not present.
-
@mitu es_configs I restored the backed up version and it’s booting again
