      I've very new to RetroPie, but I'm having a lot of success and really enjoying it. I would like to separate out PC Engine games from the PCE-CD Games. I am familiar with the es_systems.cfg but can't seems to get it working. I am using carbon theme which I noticed already has a compatible PCE-CD graphic.

      I've tried to get it working, but so far there is no change to my RetroPie home menu (PCE-CD doesn't show up at all).

      I'll write out what I did, step by step. Can anyone tell me were I went wrong?

      1. Made a folder for pce-cd. /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pce-cd

      2. Put a rom file in there that works fine when in the normal pcengine folder

      3. Hit F4 to bring up terminal

      4. Entered "sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg" to bring up the systems configuration

      5. Added:
        <system>
        <name>pce-cd</name>
        <fullname> PC Engine CD</fullname>
        <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pce-cd</path>
        <extension>.pce .ccd .cue .zip .PCE .CCD .CUE .ZIP</extension>
        <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS pcengine %ROM%</command>
        <platform>pce-cd</platform>
        <theme>pce-cd</theme>
        </system>

      6. Saved and exited

      7. Nothing shows up

      Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing something fundamental here, but I don't know what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        @loopyeddie did you put your bin and cue files in the exact location where you set the path? If so it should show up. Do you have an es_systems.cfg in just /etc/emulationstation or do you have one in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/? If so you want to put it in the one in /opt/ location. Everything looks right.

        Also did you restart emulationstation after you saved?
