      I am using both Samba and an SFTP client to load the games and i'm not going crazy because I loaded Kingdom Hearts 2 to the psx folder and in the file directory its there. I also load Megaman to the SNES folder and its there in the file directory, but they do not load? Also i'm new to Linux how do I exit the file directory.

        @dolfan1994 it could be something with your es_systems.cfg file.

        If you go in through Windows explorer, it's in the configs folder.

        Here is a link to the stock file:

            @dolfan1994 it's odd that enulationstation didn't create that. You might want to reinstall Retropie just in case you got a bad install.

            Otherwise, the link below in addition to the other one I posted should allow you to create it.

            You can use notepad or notepad++(preferably) to build the file.

            Good luck.

                @dolfan1994 ok. By the way, to be clear, the file is supposed to be either under configs->all->emulationstation or something like that. I can't exactly remember where, but if you get stuck I can check.
