        @Grassini First of all, what you see here is dependent on your selected view mode. If you go to UI settings -> gamelist view style in Emulationstation and it's set to 'video', while there are no videos present for these particular menu items, there will be nothing shown, or maybe some video static or something (depending on theme).

        If our view mode is set appropriately, go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/ and edit the gamelist.xml file.

        It should have entries like this:

        <game>
        		<path>./bluetooth.rp</path>
        		<name>Bluetooth</name>
        		<desc>Register and connect to bluetooth devices. Unregister and remove devices, and display registered and connected devices.</desc>
        		<image>/home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu/icons/bluetooth.png</image>
        		<rating>0</rating>
        		<releasedate>19700101T000000</releasedate>
        		<hidden>true</hidden>
        </game>
        

        As expected, the <image> tag should point to the icon you want to see in the menu.

          /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/ and edit the gamelist.xml

          Cool thanks!
          That's what I was looking for.
