        EmulationStation has themes which can change look and feel of the front-end. Depending on the theme you're using, it might not have an image for the Odissey2 system. The default theme (Carbon) supports both Videopac/Odissey2. You can find out what theme you're using from the EmulationStation's menu, under UI Settings.
        Can you also show a screenshot of the folder where you copied the .cfg file, from your Windows Explorer accessing \\retropie\configs\all ?

                @jonnykegz your platforms.cfg is seen as a .txt document in that screenshot, note it looks different in windows from the other .cfg files? when you save it (using "save as" in file ,menu), from notepad, on the save dialog, there is a selection near the bottom that says "Save as type" select "all files (.)", then save it.

                Then reinstall lr-o2m, and restart emulationstation.

                p.s You can fix how your explorer shows files by clicking "view" in explorer window, and unchecking "hide known files types", then you will be able to just change the filename from platforms.cfg.txt to platforms.cfg in windows.

                      Oh man the Odyssey^2. That takes me back. I try to keep my Pi MAME only but I may have to add that temporarily.
