Glad i’m not going mad then :-)

Thanks for everyone’s input. I’m sure i’ll have a few more questions in the near future when i try and put my Zero in a Snes case.

I don’t know then to be honest. Literally the only thing i changed was the name of the platform in es_systems.cfg, scraped again in exactly the same way and it worked perfectly.

Before i figured it out, I even deleted all the roms i had copied to the pi and tried a different set of roms (went from .md to .bin). The roms were in both the megadrive and genesis roms folders (i think it copies to both automatically?), and when i went to the megadrive section i could see the full list and they all ran perfectly. Just as soon as i tried to scrape it never found anything.

Regarding what you say about them being two seperate systems on thegamesdb, I have just looked down the entire list of platforms on the site and can only find Sega Genesis. There is no mention of the Megadrive in the list of platforms.

Never mind, i worked it out.

I had to edit /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and tell it the platform is genesis, not megadrive.

Seems gamesdb can’t tell they are the same thing.
