      @mitu he was saying that only the .bin for Sonic CD is showing up though. Why wouldn't the other .bin files also be showing up if it was related to es_systems.cfg?

        @quicksilver Good point, it seems I skipped over that :).
        @bullethead do you have the Parse Gamelist Only option turned on in Emulationstation ?

          I know that sometimes using Steven Selph's Scraper that the shaper will add metadata to the cue and bin, causing 2 entries in EmulationStation. It’s one reason I avoid using it on cd based systems. Maybe that’s the problem?

            @mitu I'm not familiar with that option. It is off. What does it do?

              @lostless I re-scraped all ROMS with Selph's and it did double Sonic and Bari-Arms. It is the 1st time I had scraped all of the ROMS for Sega-Cd. Looks like you are on the right track. Anyway to fix it?

                You can manually edit the gamelist.xml file and remove the entries for the .bin files. You can find the file either in the ROMs folder (segacd) or under \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\segacd(if you're using file shares).

                    @mitu said in Double "Sonic CD" titles showing in Sega-Cd Gamelist:

                    the gamelist.xml file
                    The gamelist.xml file was in the ROMs folder (segacd). I opened in Notepad and changed .bin to .cue, saved, rebooted and only 1 ROM was listed! Thanks!!!

                      @edmaul69 /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation (via SSH/SFTP) is the same as \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation (when accessed via File Shares) and the same with /home/pi/.emulationstation (when accessed again via SSH/SFTP).
