Permission to edit /etc/emulationstation/themes/simple-dark

[Ornitorick]

Hi guys, i'm trying some test on the dir " /etc/emulationstation/themes/simple-dark" and want to move some folder to there.
But looks like i dont have the permission " 777" . i have a "775" permision on the folder.
I'm accessing by file zila.

How can i have the permission to move the folder to "/etc/emulationstation/themes/simple-dark" by ssh ?

Learn the terminal

Or log into filezilla as root

@herb_fargus Thank you Herbs. :)

As described on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-cant-i-ssh-as-root-anymore

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
look for
PermitRootLogin without-password
change it to
PermitRootLogin yes
then ctrl+x to save,
next set your root password:
sudo passwd root

After that i logged in on Filezila as "root" with the new password! And work!

@Ornitorick may be better practise to keep your theme in /home/pi/.emulationstation rather than changing the themes from the theme downloader as it won't be changed on updates

@herb_fargus i see :)! But Its not for a theme.

I'm trying to make new Submenus on emulationstation as " Konami" "Capcom".
As far i alredy got the new submenu "konami" with name and wallpeper on emulationstation( That why i need to acces the Themes files), and add it to es_systems
I put on es_systems

<system>
<name>konami</name>
<fullname>Konami</fullname>
<path>~/RetroPie/roms/konami</path>
<extension>.zip .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mame-mame4all %ROM%</command>
<platform>arcade</platform>
<theme>konami</theme>
</system>

In order to execute as a mame4all rom in other folder, but i alredy have a problem to run the rom. Its start the emulator but dont found the *.Bin" folders on the zip. I'll study more this and maybe can post here what i got.

Its sily, but its a way to organize the mame roms. lol

@Ornitorick putting your es_systems.cfg is still better practise in /home/pi/.emulationstation as any update or new system you install will reset it otherwise. You'll just have to manually keep it in sync as new systems are added or updated
