User guide
Gamelists
- "pEMU" emulators use some "gamelist.xml" files to manage your rom files and medias (EmulationStation/Recalbox format). Since version 7.0, the emulator will look inside your roms folders for a "gamelist.xml" file (which can be made with "Skraper" for example). Please note that only the " " and " " media tags are supported, you should configure ""Skraper"" accordingly.
Roms
You can add as many roms paths as you want in the emulators configuration file ("config.cfg"), and here is the format:
NAME SYSTEM SYSTEM_ID PATH ARCADE = ( "Arcade", "0x12341234", "/roms/fbneo/arcade/" ); Copy
Except for pfbneo, "NAME", "SYSTEM" and "SYSTEM_ID" can be anything (but a unique system id is required per path, for example "0x1", "0x2", ...).
Skins
- Default skins are embedded (romfs) in the application. You can overwrite parts of the default theme by creating a folder named "default" in the "skins" directory of the data folder, and adding a "config.cfg.override" ( and/or a "config.cfg.override.43" for 4/3 screens) file. You can also create a new directory with a new name to create a new theme, the default one is a good start to look at. Please note that the theme code/api is subject to change without warning, do not loose too much time on this...
