      @koygi Post your ES log - from $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt - to pastebin.com.

          I don't think it's the whole log (and the lines are truncated) and don't seen any mentions to 'n64' in it. Try to get the whole log file as is with WinSCP and also post your es_systems.cfg file from the same folder.

              It's a 'hidden' folder, you may want to enable showing hidden files/folders in WinSCP. The same folder is available via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation.

                    Looking the only difference I can see at the two is // vs. /. Which one should be correct?

                      Your path for the N64 roms folder is wrong:

                      EmulationStation doesn't support share (UNC) paths, you should leave those paths local (i.e. /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Nintendo N64).

                        I sware I had it changed to what you said earlier. Changed both files and it's now showing my N64 ones. Hopefully I can get the rest to work... thank you.
