Adding Games!

Adding game files (ROMs) to your device is the most important part of setting it up! There are different emulators, different folders, file types, zip types and it can all get very confusing very quickly. I know it is overwhelming for me. I still have to refer back to my own guide frequently to find what Roms folder belongs to what system.

ROMs and video files have a very specific place they must be put in order for them to work. Spruce tries to make this as easy as possible but there are some legacy folder names that trip people up. For example, Super Nintendo games go into the folder called "SFC" (Super Famicom) when most people just refer to this system as SNES.

PICO-8

PICO8 HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE Emu FOLDER. PLACE DAT/DYN FILES IN Emu/PICO8/bin/

Use Splore, Pico-8's native browser, downloader, and launcher for free games!

You need to download the Rasberri Pi version of Pico8. Copy and paste the pico8.dat and pico8_dyn file into mnt/SDCARD/Emu/PICO8/bin/ on your spruce install.

Please note that you must provide your own copy of Pico-8. Pico-8 games are all free, but you must first purchase the license to download the fantasy console itself.

FAKE08

Unfortunately MainUI is causing issues to launch Pico-8 games using the png extension with Fake08.

• Change the game to p8 extension by deleting .png from your cart file. A tool like ReNamer is very helpful and will bulk perform the task for you. https://www.den4b.com/products/renamer

  Example: Tomb of G'Nir.p8.png to Tomb of G'Nir.p8

Where to add ROM files

ROM files should be placed directly into their respective folders. For example N64 ROMS must be placed in the “N64” folder within the “Roms” folder. Below is a table with the names of systems and their folder name.

Video files go into the “FFPLAY” folder.
