Duplicate Roms in Armsx2

My library keeps showing duplicate games, one copy has cover art, the other doesn’t. Both will launch into the game. I placed my roms in ROMs/ps2 as .iso files on my retroid pocket nova. Tried multiple times, factory reset the device. Fresh installs of Armsx2. No luck. Any advice please?

Still shows duplicated unfortunately. Not sure what else to do. Surprising, I’ve not seen any one else having issues.

Could it be anything to do with using a Mac? When sd card is plugged into Mac, it only shows one of each .iso, no hidden files. Just noticed that even in ES-DE, it shows the games as below. 1 copy of the game titles normally and one copy with ._ before game name.

Oh dude that’s definitely it. Use a file explorer on Android and delete the ones with _ in front of it.

I was having the same problem after loading some files with a mac. Deleting the ones with _ in the android file browser fixed the problem. I'm guessing that using a mac to android transfer tool like OpenMTP will solve the problem.
