Games get added multiple times #160

When I reconfigure my emu's All games show up multiple times when I start Steam. Is this normal?

What kind of reconfiguring are you doing? Are you changing the ROMs directory for them?

I also have an issue with games being added multiple times.

I believe in my case the issue stems from the "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 3" error. When I first tried running Ice, I got that error. I tried fixing it, but I kept missing a specific Pokemon game that was causing it. I ran Ice a total of 3 times with the error until I finally fixed it.

I'm pretty sure those 3 times still added a bunch of games to my library before it caught the error.

So, is there any way to quickly remove any games added and start over?

You can delete your shortcuts.vdf file at <steam installation dir>/config/shortcuts.vdf.

Be warned, this will remove ALL custom Steam shortcuts.

also please note. if you have for example Silent hill.mdf and Silent hill.mds both are being added where only one needs to be. .iso, .bin, .cue are not exception.

I'm seeing a similar issue where I have save state and memory files in the same directory as the ROMs. It would be nice to be able to specify which file ext it looks for, for each console.

@ScriptMe90: This functionality now exists in Ice using the extensions parameter in consoles.txt. From the documentation:

# Extensions: *optional* A (comma separated) list of file extensions to assume
#   are ROMs. For example, if the value was set to 'sfc, smc' then only files
#   that ended with '.sfc' or '.smc' will be added to Steam. If not provided,
#   Ice will add every file in the ROMs directory to Steam.

An example would be something like:

[Super Nintendo]
nickname=SNES
emulator=ZSNES
extensions=sfc, smc
