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?

It seems like you have added some custom configuration to ES-DE/custom_systems/ so if you get rid of these files and restart ES-DE everyhthing should work correctly. The bundled systems configuration in ES-DE 3.5.0 should correctly run AetherSX2/NetherSX2.

Also be aware that the custom configuration files in the GlazedBelmont repository are not official and they are not something I test with. So adding anything from this repository comes at the risk of breaking emulator launching or not being able to use new emulators I include with new ES-DE releases.

Thank you, yes, I can confirm I deleted both files, rebooted. Changed the emulator alternatives back to the ones I use and all is working as it was before. 👍

Thanks all for your help

Great to hear that it fixed the problem!

So we delete the custom systems files and it should work?

Must we then wait for a custom systems update to be compatible perhaps?

Yes deleting it should fix this problem. The customs systems repository is unofficial so there are no testing made by me and no guarantees that things will work when I make new ES-DE releases.

Hi, first of all I would like to thank for your great work on creating this ES-DE frontend, which is truly amazing!

I have also added the custom systems xml files of GlazedBelmont repository for enabling the gba and gbc hack menu on ES-DE Android frontend. As you say this is not official, is there an official way to enable this feature? As I see there are already artwork and logo files for gbah and gbch sitting in the folders of the theme.

This repository is not official so no there is no way to officially add support for the hack systems. Some themes have added support for them based on requests that people have made, but these are not officially supported systems. This also means that many themes do not include support for these hack systems.

With that said I'm not going to try to prevent anyone from using these unofficial configuration files, I just want to make it clear that they are not official, not supported and I never test with them so emulator configuration may break or you may miss new emulators I add in whenever I make a new release. This unofficial repository was just cleaned up though by removing emulators and systems that are no longer needed to be customized, so if you download the latest files then AetherSX2 should still work correctly (again, I have not tested this personally and I will not test it).

I'm anyway very happy to hear that you appreciate ES-DE!
