## Specific system information

### Adding Daphne Games

Daphne games consist of 2 parts

* a folder containing the **videos**, \*.**dat** and \*.**txt** files of the games
* a .zip file in the **roms** folder

To add Daphne games, your games folders must be placed in "**\roms\daphne**" folder by adding **.daphne** at the end.

For example, your game folder "**lair**" (Dragon's Lair) must be renamed to **lair.daphne**

```
roms\
└─ daphne\
   ├─ roms\
   │  └─ lair.zip
   └─ lair.daphne\
      └─ lair.dat
      └─ lair.m2v
      └─ lair.ogg
      └─ lair.txt
```

Once the game added, it is listed twice in Retrobat, as both the zip and the .daphne folder are detected.

You can use use the [**VIEW OPTIONS**](/navigation/view-options.md) to hide the `.zip` extension for the system by pressing **SELECT**
