roms/
├─ nes/ (Nintendo)
├─ snes/ (Super Nintendo)
├─ psx/ (PlayStation - needs .bin/.cue)
├─ arcade/
│ ├─ mame2003/

├─ ports/ (Doom, Quake)
├─ bios/ (Necessary system files)
└─ music/ (Playlist BGM)
The Allure of the "One-Click" Pack
For the average user, manually scraping metadata for 5,000 games and testing 150 arcade ROMs to find which version of Final Fight works is tedious. A high-quality EmuELEC Roms Pack eliminates this work. You copy the roms and storage folders to your SD card, and the system is ready to play. Emuelec Roms Pack
