      Hi
      I am getting duplicate games on some emulators. SNES, NES and Mega Drive are three such emulators. The games are prefixed with a dot and an underscore followed by the game's name.
      I am using Retropie 4.2 with default emulators.
      Images attached below. Any help would be appreciated.
      Thanks.

          Correct. You can delete them via terminal. You're likely using a Mac.

            Thanks again.
