          I have formatted your post - please format posts as I mentioned in my previous post.

          config looks ok - I suspected `ParseGamelistOnly" might be set, which would mean new roms don't show up - but it's fine.

          If your rom has the correct extension it should show up in the list - what shows and doesn't show is based on the file extension.

            it is a simple .smc file. I uploaded it above to my dropbox. would be great if you could give it a try.

              Please email me the details - buzz [at] exotica.org.uk and I will test when I get a moment - It is against the forum rules to post links to roms - even for debugging issues.

                            I have the translated Clocktower working fine on my system. Just for the heck of it, will it show up if you rename it to a .sfc file (that's how mine is) and then restart EmulationStation?
