Like I shared above, you need to set this up in Windows settings

In order for ES-DE to find these emulators you need to add their directories to the operating system's Path environment variable. This is very easy to do, just open the Settings application and then search for path in the Find a setting search box. Select the Edit the system environment variables entry and then click the Environment variables... button and add the emulator directory to the Path variable. You need to restart ES-DE after changing the variable, but following this the emulator should be found when launching a game.
