Awesome!!! Thank you for another post!

1 - SOLVED - thanks for the tips on deleting from display AND the Emulator.
2 - SOLVED - Found out that I had to move the files out of their own folders to get it to work!!
3 - SOLVED - Removing them and adding them back in solved my issue there!
4 - MOSTLY SOLVED - Still fiddling with it, but now when I hit B, rather than pulling up an option to close Attract Mode, now I have a selection screen for systems. Just trying to get it formatted but that's just a lil fiddling!!

Thanks for everyones help!!!!! That went smooth!

Update from my own digging!

1. - Still no clue UNSOLVED
2. - My PS1 Files were all within their own folders, after taking them out and placing the bin files right in the rom folder, success! Funny how RetroArch can find these games within their folders, but attract mode cant. SOLVED
3. - [b]SOLVED[/b]
4. - Found a way to get the menu, had to check a setting - general - startup mode Show Displays Menu. Trying to get my style set up right now (flat_blue) PARTIALLY SOLVED

Thanks for the welcome!!!

1 - So I created extra "Systems" with games list. I see two lists of "SNES" for example. I have deleted the extra notepad files - but it has deleted all games in that section - but the section is still there. Any ideas?
 UNSOLVED
2 - I believe this is the file you are looking for ? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uPFU1-2qPYBAgZbkcxsZajK1QB12cXem . I have double checked that the extensions are listed in AM. UNSOLVED

3 - I actually figured this one out! Just redownloaded the files and they work now. Sweet!! SOLVED

4 - I will check out that section for my solution, thanks! UNSOLVED

Thank you for the response @Hanappi. Appreciate it.

1. Sweet, thank you for letting me know about that. I'll check that out a lil later today.
2. I will double check that, but I believe the suffix's are all listed if I remember right. Any other ideas on that one?
3. When I had the n64 games beforehand, they would run, just not very well hahaha. I dont need them to work, but I'd like them to. I'll try that emulator- is that under the experimental packages? I'll check for it today.
4. Hmm heres a youtube tutorial that I am trying to emulate. Definately explains it better than I can haha. It's at 16:14 in, a system select menu ahead of a game select. I got the arcade looking one, but not the system select. I follow the tutorial exactly. https://youtu.be/Pbke1B3HDcA    once again, 16:14.

Any further help is appreciated !!! Thanks !

Hi there. First things first, I'm a newb to this. I have picked this up during quarantine lol, trying to build myself an epic gamer setup with retro systems.

I have successfully gotten to the point where I have attract mode on my Pi 3B+. I have gotten my games in there and everything. These are my problems -

1. I have accidentally created multiple Game Collections under the menu, emulators, Generate Collection/Rom List. I would like to delete the ones I don't need. But How??
2. When I boot to Emulation Station, I can see my PS1 games, and can run them. In Attract Mode however, I cant see any of my PS1 games. When I try to generate the collection, it comes up with nothing. Wha??
3. My N64 games wont boot. I used to be able to a long time ago, but now they cant. IDK why. Have tried multiple emulators, and all have failed to run it. Maybe they are corrupt?? IDK haha.
4. I have the games front end in nevato style. I want to have a menu prior to it that has all my systems on it in flat_blue style, but when I put it in the configure displays, it doesn't work. I cant back out of the nevato theme to the flat_blue theme like I believe I should be able to. did I miss something??

I wish I new all you needed to know to help me, but I really don't. If you need info to help that I haven't provided, please ask. Thank you for any help you can bring to the table!!!
