      For example, Gran Turismo 2 (Arcade Mode) and Gran Turismo 2 (Simulation Mode), both show up as just GRAN TURISMO 2 [PSX] in both "All Games" and "Last Played" lists. I suppose I could change the names to use a colon instead of parentheses, but is this a setting I can shut off and still keep the names as-is? I'd like it to show as, for example, GRAN TURISMO 2 (ARCADE MODE) [PSX].

      I am using the default Carbon theme.

        I think the name shortening in game collections is by design. The dev version has the option to remove the system name and this will enable the full name, but maybe an option to show the full name regardless may be added.

          @mitu I may try out the dev version for the scrolling game titles fix, but removing the system name wouldn't quite fix the issue here, since then it would then just be a different set of games (same title on different systems) that would be indifferentiable. Ideal (for me) would be both full game title and the system name, but I understand it may not be a priority for anyone else.
