So are the games supposed to be stored as zip files or unzipped? is it the same for all emulators? I keep seeing people say that they put zip files in their folders but I unzipped all mine & placed them in the folder. Wouldn't hurt to try both ways to see the results, I'm gonna try today.

How do I add more Emulators in the retroengine? All emulators should be installed already. You just have to put the roms in their folders, reset emulationstation & the emulators will show up with games. actually, I had to download and transfer BIOS files for gba and psx (so far), which you would need for certain systems as stated here: retroengine.doyodo.com/markdown-2/(simply google your wanted system + BIOS + the Code from the table) I "installed" them using the Web uploader thingy, as mentioned here: retroengine.doyodo.com/markdown-5/The described method only helps to display the game system itself in emulationstation menu, the emulator was actually pre-installed. A little off topic but does anyone know how to best implement PS1 games? the .zips don't work (trying to load them doesn't) and the folder structure looks rather horrible for all that games with multiple files.

Has anyone found any decent N64 Roms? Every one I try the picture quality isn't great and the sound is awful... I find that switching the emulation to 'mupen64plus' and reducing the resolution helps but the games aren't really playable...

Picades. Doesn't have many but the ones they do run great.

N64 emulation struggles on a lot of games no matter what, but to be fair, I find that it's mostly sound issues, so in many cases I can cope, especially when playing my own music selections while playing. An alternative may be to turn off music where possible. I found Mario Kart can be terrible on the sound, but the gameplay is as fun as ever.

I also can't upload via web or file sharing. Any ideas? I selected the OrangePi install with additional features.

I've only tried one PS1 game so far (Spyro) and I used a disk image (.img) file. It worked, with some issues during cut scenes. The emulator warns that without a BIOS there may be bugs, but I'm not sure what to do about that.

For other emulators unzip and then put them in the correct emulator folder. In order to manipulate them easier create a folder per game, put the unzipped files in and put the folder in the correct emulator folder on your card.

I can't get dreamcast or swag cd to show up after adding roms. Is there anything I've missed? I put the 3 bios files for swag cd in the bios folder.
Still wondering if anyone has got amiga games to work as well.
