Adding video files:

  • Video files go in the public/videos folder and should be organized by game folder OR if you edit the .env file (follow directions there), you can have them on a thumb drive or any other directory that your computer can see ** Example: public |-videos |-Elvira House of Horrors |-video file A |-video file B |-... |-TMNT |-video file X |-video file Y |-...
  • After adding video files, a fresh yarn start should refresh the queue. You can check detected files in the on-screen-display under FILE DETAILS

Adding fonts:

  • download your font in .ttf format
  • make a folder with your font name in styles/fonts/ and put your font there
  • edit the font-definitions.scss in styles to register your font (copy how other fonts are done)

  2. type: shell:startup
