# EmulationStation-DE ROMs Not Showing / Emulator Not Found Fix

I installed EmulationStation-DE but my games aren't appearing — either the system shows as empty, the whole system is missing from the menu, or I see a "No game emulator found" warning. How do I set up ROM folders correctly and configure emulators so ES-DE can find and launch my games?
