## System Features ### Cgenius configuration file By default, RetroBat will use the cgenius.cfg file located within the `\emulators\cgenius\` folder of the RetroBat installation in order to apply game settings. However, if you previously installer cgenius without RetroBat, it is possible that the settings files already exist in your user documents folder. If this is the case, this will render RetroBat settings ineffective. To prevent this issue from happening, you can simply delete the cgenius files located in your user\documents folder. ### Game files organization The engine requires the games to be located in a "**games**" subfolder inside the `roms\cgenius` folder . For RetroBat to detect the game, create in the individual game folder a text file and change the extension to ".cgenius". The folder organization is the following: ``` └── roms\ └── cgenius\ └── games\ ├── keen1\ │ └── ... │ └── Commander Keen.cgenius └── keen2\ │ └── ... │ └── Commander Keen 2.cgenius └── keen7\ │ └── ... │ └── Commander Keen 7.cgenius ``` ### How to add a game The files can be downloaded from the engine itself: #### **Run cgenius.exe from the emulators\cgenius folder:**

#### Click on "+ MORE":

#### Select the game and click "download" The game will be downloaded within the emulators\cgenius\games folder:

#### Copy the last folder (KeenDreams in the example) to the roms\cgenius\games folder:

#### Create an empty .cgenius file in the game folder:
