No Longer Hides .SH

Simrose

Hello, I would like some help with not showing dosbox.sh, amiberry.sh and scummvm.sh in the games lists.
But still be able to use the emulators
with retropie 4.5 i removed the .SH extension from es_systems and that worked.
But with 4.6 It no longer works.
Hope somebody can help.
Retro 4.6 beta is working very well for me thanks for all the hard work.

It should work, there's no change here in this regard. How did you try to remove the extension ?

Simrose

@mitu
Thanks for your reply.

I removed from es_systems the extension sh from pc, scummvm, amiga
But they still show in gameslists.
This is what I did with retropie 4.5 and I'm using same es_systems file.
It could be something to do with gamelists view.
I might end up working it out. Anything you can suggest I can try?
Thanks
Sim.

@Simrose Do you have the Parse Metadata Only option set to On in your EmulationStation settings ?

Simrose

@mitu
Is that in other settings,
and the same as parse gameslists only
I have that off.
Thanks

@Simrose Remove the .sh entries from the gamelist then and see if that makes them disappear from view.

Simrose

@mitu I removed them saved the file and even restarted and checked the file saved the changes and still shows them. Is their another way?
Thanks

@Simrose Do you have

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

present on your system ? If you do, you will need to update it. This file is not normally present but it can be used to manually customise emulationstation systems - but you need to keep it updated. If you didn't make it, then you may not have installed retropie from this site.

@BuZz
Thanks for reply
I am using 4.6 from retropie.org.uk
The es systems I change in etc, emulationstation path that must be why its not working.
That must be it thanks

@Simrose if you have a second es_system.cfg in that path I mentioned, and you got the image from this site, you must have made it. It's not created by default.

Simrose

@BuZz
I did 100 percent get image from this site. And I copied es systems from my old pi3 retropie image which was also from here I've never used retropie from anywhere else.
Thanks Sim
aetup
setup
Full path etc\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg
This was created by retropie

Simrose

@BuZz
I don't have es systems in that opt... Path
So I could Copy the es_systems from etc\emulationstation.. Path into the one you posted and it should work is that the recommended way?
Thanks
Sim

BuZz

@Simrose no. I thought you may have had a config there which could have been the issue.

Simrose

@BuZz
Is their anything else I can try?
This is an official 4.6 build the only system change I made manually is adding super famicom system to the es_systems.cfg in etc\emulationstation path and a super famicom config folder other than that it's not changed.

Removing sh is working fine on my 4.5 pi3 setup.

Thanks
Sim

@Simrose Post your es_systems.cfg on pastebin.com. Note that modifying the system's config is not recommended, since that's maintained by the RetroPie scripts.

Simrose

es_systems.cfg

Note I always put retropie to the bottom. I wish it could stay that way when adding new systems. I understand its sorted alphabetical.

If you can't find a way to help with hideing the emulator .sh its no problem.

Thanks for helping

I see that dreamcast still has the.sh extension added, Ports and RetroPie are ok. So, if you still have the .sh shown, check your gamelist.xml file for the system and remove it from there. If that doesn't fix it, then check in $HOME/.emulationstation and see if you have a customized es_systems.cfg.

~~You say you added a Super Famicom system, but I don't see it in the file you posted.~~ OK, it's the sfc entry, I missed that.

Simrose

@mitu
sfc is my superfamicom
dreamcast is ok because im using redream not having reicast installed.
i have no custom es_systems.cfg anywhere but the one i showed which is in etc\emulationstation.
But You solved it for me
in my gameslist
<game>
<path>./+Start Amiberry.sh</path>
You would think that would be the first thing i checked :-)
same as other emulators with .sh in my gameslist.
deleted from gameslist now.
Very Pleased.
Thank you so much.
