Psx bin and cue showing up seperately in game menu
-
I have noticed that a few single disc psx games show up as separate/duplicate items of the same game for the bin/img/etc and the cue.
I.E. the bin and the cue for the same game make the game show up twice in the menu (one for the bin, and one for the cue) Scraping just makes it look like there are two identical copies of the game. It does this only for a few games. Not totally sure why. (Bug? Problem with the cue file?)

@StigNasty - I think the .bin and .cue filenames need to be exactly the same. If yours have the same name already, then I would check out the emulationstation /tmp folder and the games list for psx (/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/psx/gamelist.xml). The details in there might lead you in the right direction. Also look at the es_log.txt in the same directory.
I haven't had this issue myself yet.

.bin
files are not included in EmulationStation's list of extensions for PS1. You're either using a customized configuration file or the scraper has added both files (cue/bin) to the gamelist. -

I went to the menu option to change metadata and the two entries are definitely pointing at the img and the cue). Should it behave the same if it is an img file and a cue? Do I even need the cue with an img file?

For a disc with a single data track, I think you don't need the
.cue

U can always just take the *.bin *.BIN from the es_systems.cfg<system> <name>psx</name> <fullname>PlayStation</fullname> <path>/media/usb0/roms/psx</path> <extension>.cue .cbn .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx .CUE .CBN .IMG .ISO .M3U .MDF .PBP .TOC .Z .ZNX</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psx %ROM%</command> <platform>psx</platform> <theme>psx</theme> </system>
