Hi, yes roms need to be placed in the rom folders for the emulators to show up.
You have two options:
Enable the auto-copy feature via the setup script which will transfer roms from the usb drive to the relevant rom folders on your sd card:

Or modify es_systems.cfg to load roms from the usb drive:

Hope this helps
