      Hi everyone,

      Pi 3B+ with Stretch

      I have a few different Contra III ROM files, all US versions. The EU version is called Super Probotector.
      No matter which ROM I use, whether it's in a zip file or not, always displays in ES as Super Probotector. If I launch it, it's Contra III as it should be. Why is it doing this?

        Emulationstation will only translate the Arcade/Neogeo ROMs, which have those short cryptic file names, but doesn't rename anything else.
        You perhaps ran a scraper which renamed the entry in the gamelist - but you can always hand edit the name by pressing Select when you're on the game in the list and then choosing to edit metadata.
