ROMS require RetroArch and PKGLAUNCHER installed. PKGLAUNCHER is installed automatically in the recent versions.
The ROMS setting must be check-marked in the section "Scan for Content" of /setup.ps3
ROMS are supported on internal hdd0, FAT32 USB devices, on ps3netsrv & using prepISO (ntfs/ext2/exFAT)
Notes:
- Some cores are only available on RetroArch CE.
- NOT all cores play well on the PS3 (large majority play at full speed)
- ROMS subfolders can be all uppercase, lowercase or first letter capitalized. i.e.

Not real RetroArch cores, but the following folders are also scanned under ROMS section. These can be used to show extra PlayStation games in a separated list or to allow list large catalogs taking the advantage of the large memory allocation of this section.

The ROMS folder names listed on XMB are obtained from /dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_lang/LANG_ROMS.TXT
The supported ROMS extensions are defined in /dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_res/roms_extensions.txt
Each core in RetroArch defines the allowed file extensions in the info files.
PKGLAUNCH maps the emulator core based in the folder name. If the folder is not detected, a core will be mapped based on the file extension.
Since version 1.47.27 the ROMS support the display of the following custom media files when mounted:
The current covers of ROMS in PNG format will be used as ICON0.PNG (JPG will show the default icon)
<rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.png or <rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.PNG
<rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.PIC1.PNG will be used as screen background (HD)
<rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.PIC0.PNG will be used as screen background (SD)
<rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.SND0.AT3 will be used background music on XMB
<rom-full-path-without-file-extension>.ICON1.PAM will be used animated icon
webMAN MOD supports custom gameboot per system when a ROM is mounted.
This feature uses the custom_render_plugin.rco from DeViL303's Multi Gameboot Mod
This Mod is included in Ultimate Toolbox by DeViL303.
The file custom_render_plugin.rco must be copied to /dev_blind/vsh/resource
The patched game_ext_plugin.sprx, the sounds and media files should be copied to /dev_hdd0/tmp/gameboot.
The following media files are copied to PKGLAUNCH when a game is mounted:
***_ICON1.PAM, ***_SND0.AT3, ***_PIC0.PNG, ***_PIC1.PNG, ***_PIC2.PNG
*** is the 3 letter code of the emulator: rom, sns, nes, gba, gby, gen, neo, mam, fba, pce, ata, cmd, ids.
