      @natemac It's still possible that they're there. If they have a . before them, they'll be hidden by default. Do you have view hidden files turned on? http://www.simplehelp.net/2010/04/21/how-to-view-hidden-files-with-cyberduck/

        @liquidzoo Those hidden files occur when the Finder attempts to index a folder for search purpose, they won't occure from using a file exchange program... BUT to put you at ease see attached photos as well.

          look in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg or /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
          Then scroll down until you see <name>psx</name> and just under that between <extension> and </extension> remove .bin and .BIN. Save then reboot.

            @natemac Fair enough.

            That eliminates the "easy" fix. The other fix would be to look in the gamelist.xml files in either the ROM folder (which I don't see above, so it's not likely there) or in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/gamelist.xml and look for duplicate entries for those that you see multiples of and delete all but one (or delete the entire gamelist file and re-scrape after restarting EmulationStation).

            Or what @backstander said, which may be the case...

              I ran into this issue when using Sselph's scrapper. It adds the .bin file to the game list file when scraping the bin file.

                I wonder if that is a bug in Sselph's scrapper. I've noticed others with .bin for PSX in es_systems.cfg and I wonder why/how that was happening.

                  I think it's that Sselph's scrapper can't scrape the .cue file as it's just a list of tracks. And since it uses meta data to get art, that the .bin has. It then adds that to the game list file, so emulation station just shows the list in the game list file. All that that the es_systems.cfg does is just filter for files that aren't in the game list files to add to the list.

                    Bin is not in the es_systems.cfg file
                    <extension>.cue .cbn .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx .CUE .CBN .IMG .ISO .M3U .MDF .PBP .TOC .Z .ZNX</extension>

                      @liquidzoo I did manually edit the gamelist and that seem to do the trick... except for GT Final Bout... it seem to add it back in but at the bottom of the gamelist.xml

                        @natemac make sure emulation station is closed before you make edits.
