Duplicate Entries


Recommended Posts

I'm doing some cleanup on my games and noticed a pretty huge difference in what NES showed vs what is actually in the directory. Typically the number is near exact since I like to keep my games expanded so I have one entry per ROM. I scanned for files to add new and nothing was showing as missing. NES was missing over 1000 and thought maybe the new auto import was grouping games without my knowledge so I selected them all and expanded again. I now have 8749 entries and only 6339 files. Looking at the list view, I started seeing duplicate entries everywhere. One thing that is off is I have a bunch of files with an invalid added date of 1/1/0001.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Update 1

Things I have tried. I deleted the ~2300 records that had the invalid date. Scanned to add new games and it only found 55 to add. It is still missing a ton.

Update 2

Going the drastic route of deleting all the games and importing again. I'm now back to 6339 games.

No clue what the issue is. Auto import? Expand games? Something else?

Can anyone confirm if the new automatic import obeys the previous option not to group similar games?

Confirmed that the "expand selected games" is the problem. I was missing 2 games from my TG-16 platform. Scanning for new games wasn't finding anything new to add. Expanded selected games and it caused around 200 duplicates. The only way to fix it is to delete all the games and import again.
