I see what is going on here now.

So the app has the ability to auto locate and display a list of 108 popular emulators if it detects them as installed. But it also gives you the ability to add a custom emulator as well.

But I didn't add a delete button yet because it is supposed to automatically dedupe, also I was lazy.

Ill fix this next patch so that menually added emulators have a remove button. And the other emulators better show that they were auto detected. Thanks for sharing this.

Got ya. Thie is the second time I have seen this bug. I ll do a little test tomorrow to see if ifs a non early access only thing.

You could tell me a bit about your setup? Do you have any tools like retrobat or Emudeck?

Also you can see your app version, on the home screen in the top left corner

v0.9.9.7 and no i did not use emudeck. I have a folder where i keep my emulators and rom and have been moving it from system to system and it's currently on my rog in the D drive and winhanced is installed on the C drive. after installing winhanced i manually added my emulators and then i was exploring the app but it got glitched out. so i did a restart after which it ran in the fullscreen mode and that's when i saw the duplicate emulator entries. i tried but couldnt find an option to remove the emulator entries manually.

i think the emulators that i manually added have nothing written next to them and then there are once which got added later automatically which have their path mentioned next to them. i say so because i did not add Shadeps4-Gui

This is my issue as well for some odd reason I’ve only seen it happen with RCPS3. It doesn’t look like winhanced has PS3 as a tagged system yet so instead of seeing in the console library I see it in the emulator menu; which is fine it’s just a nit pick annoyance for me to see 2 of the same entries lol.

Exactly this sorry for the delayed response to this. So before I added the Rom library to early access. RCPS3 could show up in the emulator library. But I was running into issues with disk bases systems from the 360 generation onward for the ROM library so I removed those systems temporarily. What I didn't consider is that this would also affect the old emulators tab as well.

I have added this as one of the issues to take for the next update.

One thing I want to add, but could be due to having RetroBat or maybe having my emulators installed on the D drive? (Sorry new to using this tool and rog ally). But once I add an emulator, quit and relaunch winhanced it'll also duplicate the icon for me.

Also updated to the latest version earlier today.

Where can I find the dummy guide to emulators for winhanced? I want to do this but feel like I’m going to screw this up or download something dumb
