The "remove from the list" option is only to disable the game from the current list, if you rescan the drive, all games in that folder / drive will be added. If not, there would be no way to get a game back.
If you need to permanently remove a game from your games, delete the file in your drive, so it will never appear again when the app rescans the drive.

Re: Gameslist
That is what I was afraid of. A year of work down the tubes. I wish there was a way to delete the file from Retrox. Sometimes I am not sure if the files works until I test it. To have to write all of this down and then delete each file on my PC will be tedious.
Any idea why Retrox did a rescan at start up?
And since I have to start over, any other suggestions?

Re: Gameslist
Actually that's not a bad feature idea. The ability to actually delete games from within retrox.
Re: Gameslist
Actually it is, but it would only work were the app is allowed to write there. I know the users and they will be asking why the app can't write there when they see that message.
I'll ponder it.

Re: Gameslist
One of the problems I have, and it's only in mame, is that sometimes a couple of ROMs are needed for a single game and they both show up in retrox, so for example I'll have puckman and pacman. I don't want puckman to show, so I have to choose remove from list....
Re: Gameslist
If RetroX scan or rescan your drive, it will add all the games that are found in that drive. That's the expected result.
If you want to remove some games, you need to remove them from your drive, so they aren't added anymore.

Re: Gameslist
Only problem is that some mame games require two ROMs to work so there are effectively duplicates in retrox. It's not really the fault of retrox though, just the way it is.
Re: Gameslist
That will be handled in the future. I will group those games into only one entry, then when you launch the game you will be asked (the first time) about what version you want to play, the app will keep that unless you change it in a similar how of how you select the MAME version today.
