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 es_systems_custom.cfg landmine. Not for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Batocera ROMs Managing the game library: where ROMs live, why they do or don't show up, how to curate a big collection without deleting anything, and how to verify dumps. Assumes the connection pattern and safety doctrine from `batocera-ops`. ## System directories ROMs live in `/userdata/roms/<system>/`, one directory per system. The directory name is Batocera's internal system name, which is **not always** the obvious one. Don't guess — look it up on the box: ```bash # Every system Batocera knows, with its dir name and display name: SSHB "grep -E '<name>|<fullname>' /usr/share/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg" # What you actually have ROMs for: SSHB "ls /userdata/roms/" ``` Names that trip people up: Cave CV1000 arcade lives in **`cave3rd`** (not `cv1000`); Odyssey 2 is `odyssey2` (renamed from `o2em`); Half-Life is `halflife` (renamed from `xash3d_fwgs`). Directory renames across versions are common — the batocera-maintenance migration reference lists the ones that bite. ## Why a game doesn't appear In rough order of likelihood: 1. **Wrong extension for that system.** Each system accepts a fixed set of …

How to install
mdr add t3chnaztea/batocera-skills/batocera-roms@sha256:66e4a50cf0cf5287The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.d32e8c6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
