Double "Sonic CD" titles showing in Sega-Cd Gamelist
-
@bullethead The default excludes
.bin
files, so I don't see why your.bin
files are counted. -

-
@mitu Her's pics of the ROM folder, how you see it in the ES game list and the metadata. I'm at a loss. Other than compressing into a chd.
-
@bullethead The screenshots are just confirming what you said before, but the problem is not the files - it's your
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
file. Edit the file and remove the.bin
extension from thesegacd
system so it looks like<system> <name>segacd</name> <fullname>Mega CD</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd</path> <extension>.iso .cue .chd .ISO .CUE .CHD</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ segacd %ROM%</command> <platform>segacd</platform> <theme>segacd</theme> </system>
You probably have the
.bin
extension added to theextensions
node. -
@mitu he was saying that only the .bin for Sonic CD is showing up though. Why wouldn't the other .bin files also be showing up if it was related to es_systems.cfg?
-
@quicksilver Good point, it seems I skipped over that :).
@bullethead do you have the Parse Gamelist Only option turned on in Emulationstation ? -
I know that sometimes using Steven Selph's Scraper that the shaper will add metadata to the cue and bin, causing 2 entries in EmulationStation. It’s one reason I avoid using it on cd based systems. Maybe that’s the problem?
-
@mitu I'm not familiar with that option. It is off. What does it do?
-
@lostless I re-scraped all ROMS with Selph's and it did double Sonic and Bari-Arms. It is the 1st time I had scraped all of the ROMS for Sega-Cd. Looks like you are on the right track. Anyway to fix it?
-
You can manually edit the
gamelist.xml
file and remove the entries for the.bin
files. You can find the file either in the ROMs folder (segacd
) or under\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\segacd
(if you're using file shares). -
@mitu shouldnt it be /opt/retropie/.. not //retropie/...
-
@mitu said in Double "Sonic CD" titles showing in Sega-Cd Gamelist:
the gamelist.xml file
The gamelist.xml file was in the ROMs folder (segacd). I opened in Notepad and changed .bin to .cue, saved, rebooted and only 1 ROM was listed! Thanks!!! -
@edmaul69
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation
(via SSH/SFTP) is the same as\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation
(when accessed via File Shares) and the same with/home/pi/.emulationstation
(when accessed again via SSH/SFTP). -
@mitu gotcha
