      @magostinelli Have you tried renaming it?

        @pjft No, I'm out from my house, I will try this evening. With rename, i must change the gamelist.xml file manually, because I think that the scraper doesn't detect the rom if the file name is different.

          If it's not in the gamelist, it will show up in ES, but without metadata.

          Did you scrape it in the command line or in ES?

            sselph

            I use sselph scraper, this evening I will do the test.

              @magostinelli ES also uses sselph's scraper, hence the question.

              If you don't want to manually edit the gamelist to see if there's anytihng there that might be causing problems to ES, my best bet would be renaming it, seeing if it shows up in ES, and then go from there.

                  Renamed the file and now it's working!
                  So the bug was the "&" in the name.

                  There are some other tests I must do?

                    Not really. Just avoid names with a "&" then. It's a tricky character.

                    Best.

                      I think it's a retropie/emulationstation bug, I want to report it to the developer. How it's possible?
