      I was adding pics to my theme just now and decided to make changes to the retropie menus gamelist.xml in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/. I noticed half of the items were pointing to the default icons and the other half to mine. Yet all mine are displayed. Then i tried to change one of the names. I changed retropie setup to say applepi setup a while back. I decided i wanted to change it to applepie setup. However changing the file does nothing. Still displays it as applepi setup. Is the gamelist moved? Im on a raspberry pi 3 with retropie 4.1.8. Updated it about an hour ago.

            @meleu nm. I found where it is by looking at the es_systems.cfg. Thank you. Never was there before. I guess the update i just did created it

              @meleu this now explains why i could never get the joystick selection image to show up. I never had the xml in the first location so when i installed the joystick selection option it created an xml in that location for the joystick selection only. Updating the retropie today must have created all the other entries.
