      Hi all. I wondered if there was anyway to remove duplicate roms. I'm sure we've all seen them, especially in MAME rom sets. I have seen in other frontends there is an option to tick to do this, just wondered if it was possible in retropie?

        @jazzyninja you can delete roms within emulationstation (within edit metadata i think). not recommended in mame, as you can only safely delete clone roms, unless you have non-merged set.

        there are a number of pre-built sets that remove clones, or you can make them yourself :)
