      Hello there forum,

      the retropie wiki page for the playstation 1 system claims that psx roms in the .bin format need the corresponding .cue file also.
      i thought that therefor the .bin files would be hidden in the emulationstation menu. but instead i now have double entries for every game (one for the .bin file, one for the .cue file).
      is there a nice easy way to fix this so emulationstation displays a clean list?

      thank you all for your time

      cheers
      tim

        By default RetroPie should only show the .cue files unless you're using a really old version of RetroPie?

        Anyways, have a look in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg or /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and find the "psx" section

        Example:

          <system>
            <name>psx</name>
            <fullname>PlayStation</fullname>
            <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/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>
        

        Then between <extension> and </extension> if you see anything like .bin and .BIN than remove those!

          thank you. that file did the trick.

          i wasn't using an old version of retropie though. in fact it was a fresh install of 4.1. i even updated all installed packages via the retropie setup.

          maybe they changed it back?

          anyway thanks again!
