### Adding TeknoParrot emulator to Retrobat
To add **Teknoparrot** games, you must first download the Teknoparrot "emulator" from its official website (and not elsewhere):
Then, unzip the file you just downloaded in **\emulators\teknoparrot:**
{% hint style="warning" %}
Your antivirus will surely panic, keep cool, these are false positives, so make sure that your antivirus authorizes the detected files.
{% endhint %}
Launch the TeknoParrotUi.exe for the first time, it will most certainly ask for several updates: do them, **all.**
Place your Teknoparrot games in **\roms\teknoparrot**
The folders name of your Teknoparrot games must be renamed to **.teknoparrot** **.parrot** or **.game**
For example, the game folder of *Mario Kart: Arcade GP DX* must be renamed**:**
* `MKDX.teknoparrot`,
* or `MKDX.parrot`
* or `MKDX.game`
**Important detail**, the folders name must correspond to the name of the json file for the game in the Teknoparrot "**Metadata**" folder located in **\emulators\teknoparrot\Metadata**
{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use the .xml game profile file name in the **\emulators\teknoparrot\GameProfiles** folder.
{% endhint %}
