Question about adding multiple play actions. - Shadow530x - 11-15-2021

I want to condense my library as much as I can by including original versions and remakes of games under the same entry but with multiple play actions.  An example is Luigi's Mansion, where I would have 3 different things to launch under the menu.  The normal version of LM, a romhack of the original, and the 3DS remake of it as well.  If I add multiple play options though, one for Dolphin to launch the original LM and the romhack, and one for Citra to launch the 3DS version, it gives me 6 total options when I hit play.  Is there a way to prevent it from showing all 6 at all, or is it best just to keep the GC and 3DS versions as separate listing in my library?

It shows more options because Playnite needs to know which ROM to pass to the emulator.
There are currently only two option how to deal with it:
1) Have each game as a separate entry in the library
2) Remove those ROMs from installation tab and have them manually passed via emulator arguments

Second option currently requires use of custom emulator profiles since you can't override built-in emulator arguments (it will be possible in next update).
