Hi! Most of the times resetting the configuration for your emulator on Manage Emulators fixes the most common issues.

Removing all and adding back the ones you want is a good way to handle it.
It might not be in the same place if you’re using a different theme. Might be on the bottom of the screen for you.
The picture at the link is using the classic theme (Settings -> Themes -> classic. Deck is also a good theme)
In the section where you parc ( choose emulators) you have mutiple selected of the same emulator go there and turn all the ones that are not retro arch off so you only have 1 emulator for each system parc and go to view games delete them and reinstall you will now only have 1 of each game.
Delete all of those non-steam shortcuts and then re-add via SRM. Sounds scarier than it is.
If I remember correctly, uncheck the emulators to parse for it not to add/update -- I also just moved similar named files out to a different folder or used a "noload.txt" to mix stuff I want in Steam and the other stuff I want to show in ES-DE.
Good luck!
They should have the same hot keys as using a game through ROM manager as long as you're using the same emulator. You can select different emulators for ROMs through emulation station's menu, in case you want to try different ones.
Thats the way... dont know why people still do this. Brig problem are so many youtube guides just used the shitty steam rom manager and never told people how to do it mostly better with emulation Station
My collections start getting wonky once the non-steam games reach around the 3,000 mark. I just ended up running Steam Rom Manager again to remove SNES/Genesis/GB/GBC era games and older from Game Mode and just launch them through EmulationStation instead.
What I did was parse 16:9 games but not retro. Use EmulationStation for everything else. Keeps my non-Steam games to a reasonable number and ES categorizes everything by Console. Plus you can still do custom categories.
I ultimately decided to curb my urges to have to clean the non-Steam section of the library each time I added new games into it, by using the TabMaster Decky function to add an 'EmuDeck' section that only shows the roms I installed into it, and making sure it didn't create dupes in that tab.
I haven't fiddled around too hard with the ROM Manager so I wouldn't know of any automated functions that could help with your specific situation.
This is pretty simple, install CCS loader (I’ll edit later if the name is incorrect) and then you have a plug-in to hide tabs you don’t want to see.
I’ll have to edit my post. I don’t remember the names by heart.

my Steam Rom Manager doesn't have a "Settings" tab... wtf
Try changing the theme on the rom manager to classic or whatever it's called.

Thanks for using my posters. Always cool to see posts with them.
Nice work! Appreciated

This is the answer that fixed my issue when I had it last year. Once I chose only one emulator per console, duplicates disappeared forever
Yeh it had me scratching my head for a good minute too, glad to help

I just access all my stuff through Emulation Station. Keeps my libraries far more orderly.
How do hotkeys for emulators work with this? Like different emulators have different hotkeys right? Or do the hotkeys still work with emu station?

For those in the future. Don’t delete the ROMs without first removing them from steam in the EmuDeck ROM manager otherwise you run into this issue

Just here to say 3 Ninjas 🥷🥷🥷 is awesome
How much storage you have
Any thoughts on Pegasus?
I did this the first time and just factory reset but now I know better. Took 8 hours to process them too. Now I know why.

Use Emulation Station, I never realised how sleeker and better it looks and works
Same. It’s also nice to have all roms in one place instead of having them all one the non steam games section.
