Cant seem to move or copy es_systems.cfg
-
I'm using the offical RetroPie image, running a Pi4.
For some reason my es_systems.cfg is only located in /etc/emulationstation, it doesn't show up in configs/all/emulationstation. So naturally I can't open it using my PC, and I'd rather be able to edit the file with a full mouse/keyboard and text editor. I'm not careful enough to use Nano.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the file to move or even copy, I keep getting this error "cp: cannot create regular file '/configs/all/emulationstation': No such file or directory"
This is the command I used: sudo cp es_systems.cfg /configs/all/emulationstation
I even tried sudo cp es_systems.cfg /configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
what am I doing wrong?

Ah, looks like someone on reddit was able to get me squared. :)

That's normal, by default the configuration file exists just in
/etc/emulationstation. The 2nd location is user controlled and it's not populated unless you copy a configuration file there.sudo cp es_systems.cfg /configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
That's the wrong path, the destination should be
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation. -
@mitu Thanks dude!
