|

|

If you have manually downloaded any of the themes from the [official themes list](https://gitlab.com/es-de/themes/themes-list) then these would need to be downloaded again as they will not contain the necessary information required by the theme downloader. A dialog will be presented to inform you about this and the theme directory will be renamed by adding the _DISABLED extension to its name. To conserve disk space it's a good idea to manually delete these _DISABLED directories outside of ES-DE.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have customized a theme by for instance modifying any of its XML files, then this will be highlighted with an exclamation mark and the text _LOCAL CHANGES_ in the theme downloader interface. If you attempt to fetch updates for such a theme you will be asked a question of whether to overwrite your local changes, or whether to abort. If you have however added additional files to the theme that are not included in the theme repository, then these will not interfere and you can go ahead and fetch theme updates without any risk of having your local files being deleted. But there is a special (although unlikely) situation, if you add files that are not part of the theme repository but that are later added by the theme developer as well, then your local copies of any such files will be ovewritten when fetching theme updates.

In worst case there could be a situation where a repository is corrupted and the theme downloader can't properly identify or handle the corruption. In this case you will have to rename or delete that directory. This could also apply to the actual themes list repository. The latter is named _themes-list_ so by just deleting this directory (i.e. `~/.emulationstation/themes/themes-list`) you'll reset the theme downloader to its initial state.

If using the standalone release of FinalBurn Neo you need to define the ROM directory in the fbneo.ini file or via the user interface as this emulator does not support passing the full path to the game ROM on game launch (see the comments about Model 2 Emulator below for more details).
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise if using AdvanceMAME you need to define the ROM directory in the advmame.rc configuration file.

**Sega Model 2**

If emulating Sega Model 2 games using _Model 2 Emulator_ on Windows, then you need to change the ROM directory path in the EMULATOR.INI file to point to your Model 2 ROMs. If you're using a portable ES-DE installation, then you can set the ROM directory path to be relative, for example:
