Copying ROMS and BIOS¶
Wether you picked Easy Mode or Custom Mode you'll see this screen asking how you want to add your games
Which option should I pick?
By selecting this option EmuDeck will open your Emulation Folder so you can manually copy your ROMS and BIOS, make sure you copy each game to its appropiate folder.
BIOS folders explanation
Some systems need BIOS or firmware to work, you need to extract them from your system and place them in the following locations without creating any additional subfolder:
| System | Location |
|---|---|
| Playstation 1 | Emulation/bios |
| Playstation 2 | Emulation/bios |
| Playstation 3 | Must be installed using RPCS3 |
| Nintendo Switch - Yuzu | Emulation/bios/yuzu/ |
| Nintendo Switch - Ryujinx | Emulation/bios/Ryujinx/keys & firmware must be installed using Ryujinx |
| Nintendo Switch - Citron | Emulation/bios/citron |
| Sega Dreamcast | Emulation/bios/dc |
| Nintendo DS | Emulation/bios |
ROMS folders explanation
Each folder correlates to a system you can emulate.
