Reply To: avoid display of cloned roms in lists ?

This isn’t a great solution, but you can make a single-zip version of whatever rom you want by copying the files from the clone into the parent. I haven’t tried this for MAME, but it works for FBA. It’s a pain if you have a lot of roms, but it wasn’t too bad for a CPS fighters set.

For example, if you want EmulationStation to show the US version of SFIII, but the parent is the JP version, copy the files from the US zip into the JP zip, overwriting duplicates. The result SHOULD show up only once in EmulationStation and run the US version.

Make backups, of course! Most other things (romset updaters, scrapers, etc.) may not know what to do with the resulting rom, so it’s good to keep the original set.

Hopefully we’ll have an option in EmulationStation someday.
