      Not sure if you would classify this as a bug or just a new function of MAME or I never looked or I need new glasses or... etc etc etc... but I noticed something after updating to 4.4:

      My MAME list is HUGE!! I have multiple duplicates now. Just from the top of the list I have three copies of '88 Games, three copies of 10-Yard Fight, SIX(Yes 6) copies of 720 Degrees. Did a previous version hide duplicates or did I just somehow regain my sight? (because I don't remember it being like this)

      Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!
      Enjoy the ride!

        Is this the listing in Emulationstation or somewhere else ? Check the ROM path and see which file it represents.

          @mitu Sorry - yes it is EmulationStation.

          I did check. That's the first thing I did whenever I saw 2 titles in a list. They all go to valid copies of the game. All 6 copies of 720 Degrees point to different variants.

          720.zip
          720g.zip
          720gr1.zip
          720r1.zip
          720r2.zip
          720r3.zip

          They all seem to start as well.

          I just don't remember it being this populated and was hoping I missed a "Hide games" switch someplace. You know... someone comes up with the obvious answer I overlooked, I slap my forehead (into a brick wall) and fix it. :) The other answer is I actually AM blind and stupid... and no one wants that...

            Are you using a merged romset? Don't do that.
