        No colecovision ... So of course the folder can't be recreated !
        So i'd say you're either running a pi for which colecovision is.not compiled, either you removed the colecovision from the share_init folder.

        So once again : which pi are you running ?

          I'm running Raspberry Pi version 3 ..

          I did not remove the 'colecovision' from the share_init folder as you can see I am not that articulate to do so.. I simply connect to my windows pc to the \roms folder that is available to me.

          As I mentioned before.. the 'colecovision' sub-folder was in the recalbox\share\roms\ folder once during the initial upgrade to 4.1.. but once I deleted it, it never came back.
          So it must be a bug.. not sure if it can be producable, but it is..

          either way, how can I get my 'colecovision' folder back with all the findings presented to you so far?

            @tdelios gotta check few things before I tell you how to proceed. Are you running a 4.1 img or an upgrade from 4.0 ?

                @tdelios the way the share_init/roms folder is generated was totally remade in 4.1. I may have missed a system but no : colecovision IS there. Get the files from https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-buildroot/tree/master/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/share_init/roms/colecovision

                  @Substring so what are the steps\commands to dump them into the 'colecovision' sub-folder assuming I have to create it under the share_init/roms folder using terminal in WinSCP?

                    @tdelios So, through SSH :

                    mount -o remount, rw /
mkdir /recalbox/share_init/roms/colecovision
cd /recalbox/share_init/roms/colecovision
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/recalbox/recalbox-buildroot/master/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/share_init/roms/colecovision/_lisezmoi.txt
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/recalbox/recalbox-buildroot/master/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/share_init/roms/colecovision/_readme.txt
reboot

                    Tadaaa should work as expected

                      @Substring the commands worked, but once I rebooted the Raspberry Pi, the 'colecovision' sub-folder was not automatically created in the share\roms

                      I'm basically tapping out for a manual fix..

                      Do you know when the 'stable' version of 4.1 may come out roughly or at least do you have a link for me to download the image file of the 'unstable' 4.1 so that I can redo a full build on that version to start.

                      thanks for all your help

                        @tdelios are you sure you are on (the latest) 4.1 unstable? If so, have you try updating again?

                          @tdelios we never give any ETA. And I do believe your 4.1 is totally broken

                          Get the .img here : http://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/

                          remember, this is unstable, expect some changes, even in an img, oe day or another. That's why i will never stress enough to put roms on a USB key. This way you are safe of experimenting on the SD without fearing anything for your roms

                              Interesting experience.. from the link you provided: http://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/

                              in which I downloaded the Raspberry Pi 3 image recalbox.img (sha1) using link: http://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/rpi3/recalbox.img.xz.sha1

                              I loaded the image on a fresh new Micro SD card and rebooted the system.

                              When I used my Windows computer to \recalbox\share\roms
                              I noticed that the 'colecovision' folder is not in there as well !!!

                              when I used WinSCP and terminal into the system, I ran the
                              ls -la /recalbox/share_init/roms command and 'colecovision' appears in there.

                              I rebooted my recalbox a couple of times to see if it would self-generate the 'colecovision' sub-folder in the \recalbox\share\roms but it didn't...

                              And this is a fresh new install using your image file on virgin Micro SD card with nothing on it.

                                @tdelios the share part is created by a script on boot if it's missing. The same goes for every folder in the share_init/roms folder. When I told you that it should be created, i tested it myself on my pi. So i'm very sceptical about what you're saying, although i'll try

                                  @Substring give it a try using your Pi3 and the link I provided to you.. clean micro SD memory card. Use Win32DiskImager or whatever you use to load the image file from the link I gave you. Put it in the Pi3 and then let it go through.. Reboot once or twice if you want for good measure and then use your windows computer to \recalbox\share\roms
                                  and you tell me if you see the 'colecovision' folder. It probably won't be there as I am going to do the steps one more time..
                                  And then check the share_init using
                                  ls -la /recalbox/share_init/roms
                                  command and 'colecovision' should appears in there but not in \recalbox\share\roms

                                    so I tried it again on a brand new Micro SD card on my Pi3 with the same steps downloading the 4.1 unstable img file file and loading it and rebooting.
                                    Same result. The 'colecovision' sub-folder does not get created in the \recalbox\share\roms
                                    but the 'colecovision' sub-folder does exist in the \recalbox\share_init\roms .
                                    Not sure why it is not re-generating after reboot.

                                    I even tried to install a fresh install of 4.0.1 and then perform the upgrade to 4.0.2 and then change the updates.type=unstable in the recalbox.conf file with a reboot after, but for some reason it does not detect an update to jump to 4.1 from 4.0.2

                                      This has been locked because downgrading bricks your recalbox. This happened to too many users so we took measures to prevent such a situation.

                                      can you md5sum /etc/init.d/S12populateshare ? you should get e79fc4bbb19cc57d1e0d2d23097e10b9

                                            not sure what you mean.. I just did the following as per my previous post:

                                            from the link you provided: http://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/
                                            in which I downloaded the Raspberry Pi 3 image recalbox.img (sha1) using link: http://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/rpi3/recalbox.img.xz.sha1
                                            I unzipped the IMG file and loaded the image on a fresh new Micro SD card using Win32DiskImager and rebooted the system.
