## Specific system information ### Multi-disc You can use a m3u file to manage multi-disc games. For example for *Alone In The Dark*, if the ROM contains the following files:

create a `Alone in the dark The new nightmare.m3u` text file with the following content and save it to the /roms/dreamcast folder:

Retrobat will automatically detect the m3u file and hide the individual .gdi files from the Game List. ### Custom textures Custom textures can be used with the flycast core. The texture pack must be placed in the `\bios\dc\textures\` folder:

Then, enable **CUSTOM TEXTURES** in **ADVANCED SYSTEM OPTIONS** or in **ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS**.
