      i know this is a small thing but i was wonder about this. every time i boot up emulationstation the first emulator that pops up is gameboy, how can i change it so say psx shows up first? i looked around and i found that i should edit es_systems.cfg in /etc/emulationstation and put psx on the top of the list. So i did that but gameboy still shows up as the main one, thank you for reading.

          Editing es_systems.cfg always works for me. But if you make any major changes (add or delete a core, or update Emulation Station), it will rewrite itself again.
