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.

lair appears twice

You can use use the VIEW OPTIONS to hide the .zip extension for the system by pressing SELECT

Navigate to VIEW CUSTOMIZATION and FILE EXTENSIONS

Untick .zip extension

Adding SINGE Games

SINGE games include the famous AMERICAN LASR GAMES and a few other titles.

The process is similar as for Daphne games but there is no zip file to place in the roms folder. In addition, 2 files need to be present in your <game>.daphne folder:

• <game>.singe

• <game>.txt

The structure of the game folder should look like this:
