New mintypie no subfolders in roms directory

[Fender2366]

Hi I'm new to the mintypie I actually didn't build it myself but I bought one off ebay.
My question is when I try to transfer roms to retropie/roms there are no sub folders for emulators (nes, snes gba) I only see a ports folder.
Does this mean I have no emulators installed maybe I have to reinstall retropie please help

Before we provide any help, we need to see a picture of your mintyPi from eBay. There is a Chinese cloner that sells a clone of the mintyPi that we do not provide support for.

The seller was from Indiana not China, the more I'm looking at it though I'm thinking I have to reflash the mintypi image. Because when I boot it up isnt it supposed to have a mintypi flash screen? Mine just has retropi them emulationstation then the red retropie screen in the picture.
If I have to reflash can anyone give me some tips on taking it apart to reach the SD card

that's what i'd recommend (re-flashing). you can just create your own subfolders in the roms dir too, but the easier option is to just start fresh i think.

it's not too hard getting to the card. remove the four screws holding the bottom plate down, then just (carefully) angle it our of the tin. you don't have to disconnect the other plugs, but it might help getting it out of the tin, as you need to turn it just so, in order to fit through there. the pi is mounted underneath that, and the card should be easy to spot.

Also I can offer you a replacement powerboard but it requires soldering, if interested send me a PM.

Thanks for the support, like you said it was easy to get to the SD card and I'll be reflashing it soon ill give an update when I'm finished.
Also my right trigger silicone button fell out somewhere can I fix this by just sticking a new replacement in its place?

yep. the hard part will be finding something that size, but it's just button with some conductive stuff on one side.
