      Yeah, i followed that when I installed Scummvm, but the +launch doesn't show up.
      It's there in the folder, next to my roms, i can see it. but it doesn't show up in Emulationstation.

      I remember from a previous build that I ran, i think 3.7, that's the +launch would show even if no roms where present. I could launch the GUI. But now it's just not there.

        Sorry you'll need someone more knowledgeable than me. But I'd start be reinstalling scummvm

          @Ekstreme I did already. Removed Scummvm and reinstalled from binary instead. No difference :(

            I there a way to invoke the contents of +Start Scummvm.sh from the CLI maybe?
            I really don't know what else to do.

              please post the output of this (in the terminal over ssh)

              cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_settings.cfg
              grep -B2 -A8 "<name>scummvm" /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
              ls -l ~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/

                @BuZz I was just browsing the forums for generic 'emulator doesn't show up' posts and found this one from 2 months ago.
                There you mentioned

                are you aware any es_systems.cfg in /home/pi/.emulationstation will override the retropie-setup generated /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

                I just went to look there and indeed there was a es_systems.cfg which didn't have an entry for Scummvm inside. I deleted it, rebooted and now it shows up fine.

                  I had this problem with residualvm. Why aren't they included in the es_systems.cfg in /home/pi ?

                    There is no es_systems.cfg in /home/pi or /home/pi/.emulationstation unless you made one. RetroPie-Setup updates /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg - if you want to customise it, you should copy it to /home/pi/.emulationstation but you will then be responsible for keeping it up to date.

                      Ah yes it's been a while since I did that. I'm assuming I copied it from /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg so are the sections for scummvm and residualvm added after installation with RP script?

                        yes. /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg is managed automatically when adding / removing packages.
