      Hi,

      today, I noticed that Emulation Station shows both the Genesis and the Mega Drive logos. It didn't do that before, though I don't know when it happened exactly. The only things I did in the last couple of days were updating all installed packages and creating a new custom collection with all Gauntlet versions from multiple systems including the Mega Drive. Removing this collection doesn't change anything.

      I'm from Europe, so I prefer the Mega Drive logo.

      I don't have any custom config files for ES that it didn't create by itself, i.e. there is no /opt/retropie/configs/all/platforms.cfg or ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg which could cause this effect (if they could at all). edit: Changing the logo to Genesis like it's described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Mega-Drive-Genesis/#switching-emulation-station-to-the-genesis-logo has no effect, both logos are still there.

      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3b (not plus)
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.5.1 recently updated
      Built From: official image
      USB Devices connected: 2 DragonRise zero delay encoders, Samsung EVO 840 ssd, PAC-Drive led controller, 2 Ultimarc AimTrak light guns, Mayflash Wii U Pro wireless gamepad adapter
      Controller used: 2 Ultimarc Mag-Stiks Plus, Qumox Wii U Pro bluetooth controller
      Error messages received: none

      Any help would be appreciated. I know that I could just remove the genesis symlink in the roms directory or use a custom es_systems.cfg without a genesis entry, but I would like to know how this could happen and how I can fix it with as little customisation as possible.

      Cheers
      Clyde

        Each folder has a folder backing it up. Do you have both genesis and megadrive systems added in your es_systems.cfg (wherever it may me) ?
        Run Emulationstation with emulationstation --debug, make sure you still see the issue, then upload the log file (es_log.txt) to pastebin.com to take a look at it.

          @mitu Thanks and sorry, I don't understand your statement that each folder has a folder backing it up. Could you please rephrase or explain that?

          Both systems show up in my es_systems.cfg.

            <system>
              <name>genesis</name>
              <fullname>Sega Mega Drive / Genesis</fullname>
              <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/genesis</path>
              <extension>.smd .bin .gen .md .sg .zip .SMD .BIN .GEN .MD .SG .ZIP</extension>
              <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive %ROM%</command>
              <platform>genesis</platform>
              <theme>genesis</theme>
            </system>
          
            <system>
              <name>megadrive</name>
              <fullname>Sega Mega Drive</fullname>

              <extension>.7z .smd .bin .gen .md .sg .zip .7Z .SMD .BIN .GEN .MD .SG .ZIP</extension>
              <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive %ROM%</command>
              <platform>megadrive</platform>
              <theme>megadrive</theme>
              <directlaunch/>
            </system>

            @Clyde said in ES shows both Genesis and Mega Drive logos:

            Both systems show up in my es_systems.cfg.

            That's because you have 2 entries there. What I meant is that every system has a backing folder - in your case you have 2 systems backed by the same folder (even if one is a symlink). Remove the genesis system, it shouldn't be there.

              @mitu Ah okay, thanks again. I thought that it's normal for both to be there and that ES will only display one of them – Mega Drive by default, Genesis if selected by a custom platforms.cfg. I was wrong.

              Any guess how both could end up in the es_systems.cfg by normal use of Retropie only? (as far as I remember)

                I can't find anything related in the RP script. The only reference is when the megadrive folder is created and genesis is symlinked to it, but that's all.

                  @mitu So, the universe has been enriched by one more mystery. But as far as I'm concerned, this thread is solved. 😊
