Batocera Roms | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when working with ROMs and gamelists on a Batocera cabinet: figuring out which directory a system's ROMs go in, why a game does not appear in the menu, which file formats and extensions a system accepts, curating a large library by hiding rather than deleting, editing gamelist.xml safely, cleaning up multi-disc games, or verifying dumps against No-Intro/Redump DATs. Covers extensionless-ROM-in-zip failures, the 3DO/Opera no-m3u trap, cave3rd, and the essystemscustom.cfg landmine. Not for shaders/bezels (batocera-display), or ROM directories renamed by a Batocera version upgrade (batocera-maintenance).
