omega-zero creates these folders on first boot. Nothing loose at the top of Games/, Saves/,
Labels/ or States/ reaches the shelf.
| Folder | Holds |
|---|---|
Games/GBA, Games/GB, Games/GBC, Games/SNES, Games/PS1
|
Your legally obtained ROMs and disc images; see Systems for the files each takes. PlayStation games may also sit one folder down, as Games/PS1/<Game>/<Game>.cue
|
Labels/GBA, Labels/GB, Labels/GBC, Labels/SNES, Labels/PS1
|
Cart labels: a .png named after the ROM, for example Labels/GBA/Metroid Fusion.png for Games/GBA/Metroid Fusion.gba. A PlayStation game's label, under the game's name or its first disc's, goes on its first disc; each other disc has one under its own name, such as Labels/PS1/Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).png
|
Saves/..., States/...

Battery saves and save states, per platform. A PlayStation game's memory card is its save, and Saves/PS1/<game>.disc says which disc is in the drive |

gba_bios.bin, gbc_bios.bin, gb_bios.bin for the boot animations, and a PlayStation BIOS such as scph5501.bin (all optional; see Systems) |

At the root of the card, omega-zero.log holds the last session's log; see Troubleshooting.
