Hypseus and DirkSimple they conflict on EmulationStation. Any suggestions?

Try to explain how it currently happens.
Read the current docs about daphne here:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Daphne/

The games cause the issue it's the first "Dragon's Lair".

If you use the F2 Rom based of the games you need to put all needed files on lair.daphne.

in the same roms folder "/home/<user>/RetroPie/roms/daphne" you can also put lair.ogv.

From emulationstation now you can found two voices.... The problem is that both are recognized as simply “Lair.”
So.. if you set Hypseus for this on runcommand you can't use the DirkSimple .OGV file. But if you set DirkSimple for "Lair" on runcommand you can't use/launch the F2 rom based (which would normally require hypseus).

I don't know if I explained myself correctly.

But I tried renaming the file .ogv. Like lair-dirksimple.ogv. But when I did that, lr-dirksimple didn't recognize the game at all and wouldn't start.
I have also tryed to create a different folder.. like lair.dirksimple and put the lair.ogv here but after that emulationstation It cannot find anything to execute.

I have also tryed to create a folder called "lairdirksimple.daphe" and put lair.ogv inside of it.
In this mode you can launch for emulationstation but the game is recognized as “dirksimple,” and if we associate it with dirksimple, it still doesn't work.

I could create a “DirkSimple” folder in the Retropie roms folder and create a new section separate from the Daphne titles. But that would be creating a duplicate, more or less, of the same system.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get around this?

You can rename any of them with the metadata editor in EmulationStation in order to know which should be run with DirkSimple or Hypseus. The filename doesn't need to change, just the 'name' that's displayed by ES.
