      Pretty succinct question on this one.

      I am running my roms from a network share to 2 different retro gaming installs (the other much more powerful than the pi) and I would like to stop those systems from showing in RetroPie.

      More specifically, I don't want n64 showing in system selection butt would like to leave the roms in there for the other gaming setup.

      Thank you all!!

        You can try to uninstall the N64 emulators from RetroPie.

        My English isn't at a good level.

            @wtstreetglow1 i did the same thing from the very beginning with the Options-Menu in the ES-System-Selection.
            What id did was to modify the file, where all the shown systems are listed.
            AFAIR it was "systems_es.cfg" (@all: please correct me if i am wrong).
            I deleted the whole lines concerning the options-menu and it was never seen again.
            Advantage: it is still there and can be used anytime, might be useful with N64-gaming as well ;)

              @sirhenrythe5th Awesome! Thank you for this response. It will be very helpful in getting rid of some of the systems I don't intend on playing on my arcade cabinet! Thank you again!!
