Adding ROMs
Adding ROMs to your Polycade AGS library can be done within the Settings tab of Polycade AGS, or by dragging and dropping the ROM file into the appropriate directory in your polycade\games folder on your PC. See below for both methods.
Method 1: Adding ROMs from AGS Settings
Use your joystick to navigate to: Settings > Games > Add Games
Select "Add Games" using the A/Green button
Navigate to "Select a ROM Type..." and select the platform for the game you'll be adding
Select "Add ROMs." A Windows Explorer window will open
Use your mouse to select the ROM file (or Shift+click to select multiple games) you'd like to add, then click "Add ROMs"
AGS will load with a message "Scanning for games...."
Once completed, AGS will display "Copied X {Platform} ROM" message
Method 2: dropping the ROM file into the appropriate folder
Open Windows Explorer (WindowsKey + E)
Navigate to:
C:\Users[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games
3.
Drag your ROMs into the appropriate directory. For example, if you have a ROM for an NES game, you would drop it into the "nes" folder.
- Relaunch Polycade AGS in order to have it pickup the new ROMs.
