Seems changed from 2.10 onwards?

Seems to have been introduced with this change in 2.10.0 indeed.

EDIT: I'll prepare a patch for -dev, will let you know when it's ready.

@mitu much appreciated.
Will give you feedback when ready.

Ok, a patch has been added to the ES repo, it should be available if you install from source the emulationstation-dev package.

@mitu reverting

@mitu First of all thank you for taking the time to check and make a patch.
Glad i managed to point you to the right info

I want to confirm that your patch on latest dev (2.12.0RP-DEV) is working as supposed to and did in the past.

I ve tested 2 systems, the AGS and PC98 for similar setup (upper case extensions and deleted from es_systems.cfg)
Both show ONLY what is in lower case extension and hides the upper case ones (deletd from cfg)

My kind regards and thank you again!

@mitu hello friend again

If you see the last couple mgs in this thread you will notice you applied a fix for the change took place after 2.10.0 in regards to upper case extensions showing even if not present in the es_systems of ES

I have been testing on Pi5 installation of RetroPie
I have the RetroPie script

Emulationstation Version 2.11.2rp, built Feb 20 2025

I was testing the MSX with lr-bluemsx and m3u files:
I will post about the m3u problems in the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16124/multidisk-msx-games-and-m3u-files?_=1742312978738
as game loads but needs manually to swap to other disks

But as per this post, I tested the m3u by making the multidisk file extensions in upper case example .DSK and removed the .DSK from ES es_systems.cfg for msx

Both dsk and DSK show in the system even if DSK removed.

In my understanding is that ES 2.11.2rp does not have your patch/fix yet, correct?
Is there a reason that the team doesnt include the fix on the stable ES release (being also a feature up to 2.9.3rp?

Examples:
Rom folder

Emulationstation Version 2.11.2rp

Emulationstation Version 2.12.0rp

No it doesn't, the fix was added after that version.

There hasn't been any new version released since the fix, that's the only reason. As said before, you can use emulationstation-dev and you'll get the fix.

@mitu is there another stable version after the 2.11.2rp?
