        Yes, they are - I can see it from the gamelist.xml fragment you posted. Did you read my previous reply to see why it's happening ?

          Dear mitu,
          I know that some of my games are double, but I am talking about games that are not. Games that for example do not have EUROPE / USA Version.
          Here following you can see photos of 3 games as I see in ES and also a screenshot of the ROM FOLDER from FILEZILLA.
          I have 3 different games, with 3 ROMS in filezilla. But I see 7 total games in list.
          2 for the 1st game, 2 for that 2nd game, 3 for the 3rd game.
          Maybe my small knowledge about Retropie make me misunderstand somthing.
          Thank you for your help

            I see that - but that's not what appears in the gamelist.xml file. Do you have an additional gamelist.xml file in your roms/megadrive folder ?

            EDIT: you can get a more detailed log from EmulationStation if you're starting from the command line with emulationstation --debug. The log file should be in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt - upload it on pastbin.com.

              EDIT:
              I do not have other gamelist in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive
              here I post the correct gamelist that I fount the exact directory you indicated me, I think before i made a mistake.
              FROM

                I don't see any errors or indication of why this duplicate behavior happens. Have you checked if you have an additional gamelist.xml file in the ROMs folder ?

                    OK, but this looks like the same issue - you have for instance Air Management - Oozora Ni Kakeru shown twice, for 2 different ROMs:

                    <game id="501" source="screenscraper.fr">
                    		<path>./Aerobiz (USA).zip</path>
                    		<name>Air Management - Oozora Ni Kakeru</name>
                    		<desc>...
                    	</game>
                    

                    then also as

                    <game id="501" source="screenscraper.fr">
                    		<path>./Air Management - Oozora ni Kakeru (Japan).zip</path>
                    		<name>Air Management - Oozora Ni Kakeru</name>
                    		<desc>..
                    	</game>
                    

                    Same thing for Air Management 2 - Koukuuou O Mezase - there are 2 ROMs with the same title:

                    • Aerobiz Supersonic (USA).zip
                    • Air Management II - Koukuuou o Mezase (Japan).zip

                      Then it's a mystery ;-)

                        No, it's the same thing I said yesterday - you have the same title for different files. You can re-scrape and choose the option to keep the filenames as titles, you should have the exact listing - both on disk and in EmulationStation.

                          Sorry, maybe I am stupid.
                          Why I have 7 titles when I have only 3 ROM files?

                          I could understand if I have in ROMS folder :

                          SuperMario (USA).zip
                          SuperMario (EU).zip

                          and I see in ES:

                          Super Mario Bros
                          Super Mario Bros

                          with no specification since the Title is common.

                          But I have more titles than ROMS

                            Look in the .xml file you posted for the duplicate title and see which files are associated with it. I've given you 2 examples above from the file you posted.
