gamelists.xml keeps reverting back after I make changes.

Hi,

I mistakenly allowed for ISO's on my PC Engine es_systems file. Once I removed the .iso extension from that file for pcengine I still saw my .iso's showing up. I went to look in the pcengine gamelists.xml file and I saw it put down my iso file in there and now I suppose there was meta data for it. I went in though ssh and manually deleted the record, then restarted my pi. The iso file is still displaying! So I then went back into my gamelist.xml for pcengine and it appears on reboot to just wrote out another line for the .iso file. I went back multiple times to check my es_systems file isn't looking for .iso's anymore and it isn't so now I am stuck.

Does the gamelists.xml file just revert to what it had previously? Is this an issue?

Thanks

Been searching everywhere for this. Thank you. Do you know why we have to exit emu station though? Why can't we just replace the .xml file and restart emu station?

Because Es dumps a new new gamelist.xml from memory when exiting.

Because Es dumps a new new gamelist.xml from memory when exiting.

Am I right if I say that it occurs only when "save metadata on exit" is enabled?

@meleu you are :-)
