COMMON INFORMATION:*
******************

Note: Ideally, you should have an external hard drive of 1TB or more (not mandatory, you can perform all the steps on your internal hard drive).

If you have an external hard drive, format it and assign the letter "F:" to it.

If you don't have an external hard drive, you can perform the installation on your internal hard drive, preferably on the one with the most available space.

THERE ARE 2 DRIVE LINKS WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ROMS:
1.6TB users will find the roms on Google Drive path: "retrobat/roms/"
here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n-_LPKHfc9DqX3CaZVwB1X2i8f5WN_Ry?usp=drive_link

 

5TB and 7TB will download independant roms from each platforms from here:
Individual Links for each platform, only works for ones who has access (customers) – Individual platform links – Retrogrados Gaming Support Forum and News Forum

DOWNLOADING COMPRESSED ROMSETS:
***************************
1.6tb to 7tb users can download those rar files. instructions on how to download and play:
if you download a compressed .rar romset:
Download the game packs for various consoles and systems from the download link and place them in the "roms" directory (taht means on your drive at "retrobat/roms/".

Example:
Go to your Drive "retrobat/roms" directory and select the pack you want to download.
Once the game pack is downloaded (for this example, let's say we downloaded the "snes.rar" pack), navigate to the RetroBat installation directory on your device (let's assume it's F:/RetroBat/).
In the RetroBat directory, go to the "roms" directory and extract the snes.rar game pack.
After extracting the game pack, the path to the unpacked games should be: "F:/RetroBat/roms/snes/"

IMORTANT: check that the rom files must be under "retrobat/roms/snes/" not in "retrobat/roms/snes/snes/" so the final path to batman smc must be "retrobat/roms/snes/batman.smc"
Repeat the process for each game pack you want to install.

DOWNLOADING FOLDERS OR SINGLE ROM FILES FOR 5TB and 7TB USERS
********************************************************
For those who have acquired the 5tb pack, in addition to the ROMs and Switch folders, you will also receive access to all VIP directories of the platforms in dedicated versions.
Here, you will be able to find amazing and rich content that, in its entirety, accumulates over 4tb. These folders will grant direct access to platform directories.
To use them, you should download the content of each directory—for example, the 'snes-msu' directory—to the directory where you have your retrobat roms platforms (retrobat/roms/) or emudeck rom platforms (emulation/roms/), within the corresponding 'platform' folder inside the roms directory.
To continue with the example, it would be located at 'f:retrobat/roms/snes-msu/,' where you should place the files or folders of the corresponding games.

IMPORTANT: EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED TO USE AIR EXPLORER TO DRAG AND DROP COMPLETE FOLDERS FROM DRIVE TO YOUR DEVICE
