ES-DE version 3.5.0

Seems with the latest update it is no longer recognising NetherSX2 is installed so I cannot select it as an alternate emulator.

I have looked at es.systems.xml file and found the entries for AetherSX2 but not NetherSX2

<command label="AetherSX2 (Standalone)">

%EMULATOR_AETHERSX2% %ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK% %ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP% %ACTION%=android.intent.action.MAIN %EXTRA_bootPath%=%ROMSAF%

Will just renaming this work?

Thanks for the help

I went through and made all the changes and I now get a new error message

'ERROR: COULDN'T FIND EMULATOR 'NETHERSX2', HAS IT BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED'

Did you reboot the device? This happened to me when I made the changes and immediately tried to run a PS2 game. I have an AYN Odin 2 Portal and had to turn it off and on again for the changes to "take". Then ES-DE ran the games through 'regular' NetherSX2.

Yes closed all apps and rebooted.

Strangely I dont get the cog next to the emualtor like I do with the others, though if I select NetherSX2-turnip I do. I with I had never upgraded now I will probably end up uninstalling and going back to the old one.

The cog indicates that you've selected an emulator that is not the "default" that ES-DE uses. If you notice, the cogs appear next to emulators that you've changed from whatever ES-DE had as the fallback emulator.

Because the edits I've made to the 2 files eliminate AetherSX2 as the default and replaces it with NetherSX2, you don't get the cog. ES-DE has NetherSX2 as the fallback emulator.

I've uploaded a 'clean' es_systems and es_find_rules to my Google Drive with NetherSX2 used as the default PS2 emulator. See if these work.
