      Hi guys! I set up my rasp 3 with retropie.
      Everything works. I have rom on external hdd, not on SD Card. Actually, all game are shown in emustation, and they works (i need to make input setup, but game launch).

      I use WinSCP in order to connect my PC to raspberry. I found gamelist in /emulationstation/gamelist/name of the console. But for exemple for my psx, there is 5 name in the gamelist, but there is 35 games launching in emustation.

      So my question is, is there a different place for my working gamelist?

      And i have some .cue + .bin for the same game, so the game is listed 2 times. I read on your wiki that .bin should been hidden... So i'll have to remove .bin compatibilty in config files, right?

      Thanks for your future answer, and have a nice day.

        This is just to answer question 2, how to remove duplicate PSX games :)

        The configuration file that you need to edit is "es_systems.cfg"

        sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

        then you find where it says Playstation and then in the extension section you just remove both .bin and .BIN

        <system>
             <name>psx</name>
             <fullname>Sony Playstation 1</fullname>
             <path>~/RetroPie/roms/psx</path>
             <extension>.cue .CUE</extension>

          @backstander Thanks for your answer! I edit the file, remobe bin and BIN, remove the bin rom in the gamelist. When i relaunch system, it recreate the .bin rom in the gamelist...

          And not as i expect, i use the scraper inside retropie, and i add some picture for some game. Then the game appears in gamelist. So there is maybe not other gamelist... But how is it possible that i see game and i can play them, but they are not listed in gamelist?

            Over here is says that the gamelist.xml is just for games that you have Scraper info/pictures for:
            https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/blob/master/README.md#gamelistxml

            It's not a complete list of all the games you have.
