## Controls ### Control layout

### Alternative layout: An alternative layout has been created in order to be able to use analog triggers to throttle and brake in driving games, the layout can be enabled with the following option:

{% hint style="info" %} In order to use analog triggers, you need to change the controls in-game in order to map throttle and brake to the right analog stick. This layout is only compatible with the analog gamepad. {% endhint %} ## System Features ### Multi-disc games To automatically load the next disc of a game, you can use a `.m3u` playlist file. In the m3u file, list all game discs from your game:

Within that text file, write the names of the `.cue` sheets or `.chd` files for your game discs:

Finally save the file as a .m3u file. ### Custom textures #### libretro-mednafen\_psx\_hw The mednafen\_psx\_hw core allows to load custom texture packs. To do so you need to place the custom texture pack in the `\roms\psx` folder in a dedicated directory that has the same name than the game file with the addition of "-texture-replacements", for example: * If your game name is `Final Fantasy VII (USA).iso`, the texture pack folder must be named `Final Fantasy VII (USA)-texture-replacements` * If your game name is `Chrono Cross.fr.m3u`, the texture pack folder must be named `Chrono Cross.fr-texture-replacements`

Once the texture pack in place, just enable the option within Retrobat:

Finally, ensure that you use VULKAN video driver and that you set the resolution above 1X:

Advance Options, set internal resolution abov 1X

#### Duckstation Duckstation emulator allows to load custom textures. RetroBat does not force a folder for the placement of custom texture packs for Duckstation, the default placement is `\emulators\duckstation\textures`, but the folder can be changed in the emulator's settings:

Once the texture pack in place, just enable the option within Retrobat **ADVANCED SETTINGS > VISUAL RENDERING**:
