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
