Roms
¶ Supported extensions
Roms must have the extension:
- .bin
- .cdt
- .cpr
- .dsk
- .m3u
- .sna
- .tap
- .voc
- .zip
- .7z
This system supports compressed roms in .zip/.7z format. However, be careful, it is only an archive.
The files contained in the .zip/.7z must correspond to the extensions mentioned above.
Moreover, each .zip/.7z file must contain only one compressed rom.
Games with extension .bin must be uncompressed!
¶ Location

┣ 📁 recalbox
┃ ┣ 📁 share
┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 roms
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 amstradcpc
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 game.zip
The roms using TOSEC format are highly recommended.
