      Hello everyone, new to the retropie. I have it setup, roms loaded and controller configured. I seem to have two "mame" systems showing on the main screen. It also looks like all roms are duplicated as well in each system. I know I missed something along the way, what should I check first to get these duplicates resolved? Thanks, in advance.
      -Mike

            Figured I'd post the solution if anyone else comes across this post. The duplicate MAME systems were because I had accidentally copied roms into two separate MAME emulators rom folders. For the duplicate roms (this applies only to console roms, SNES in my case), that was exactly it. I had extracted the rom files from the zip files, and copied over both files into the rom folder.
