Version: 2025.10.v1 Generated by: Aurion | Developed by: Tehdead Purpose: Provides default configuration and metadata files automatically copied to %APPDATA%\RomInstaller on first run.

?? FILES OVERVIEW

settings.json ? Stores user preferences: - Emulation root path - Default emulator per console - Context-menu extensions - Logging configuration

emulators.json ? Defines supported emulators: - ID, name, and supported consoles - Portable paths with %EMULATION% token - Command-line argument templates - BIOS requirements and expectations

filetypes.json ? Lists known file extensions per console: - globalPriority: extension preference order - perConsole: console-specific allowed extensions - multiMap: cross-console overlaps (e.g. .bin ? ps1, sega-cd)

manifest.json ? Runtime database of installed games: - Created automatically after each successful install - Records ROM path, console, emulator, and timestamps

?? NOTES

• These files are automatically copied to: %APPDATA%\RomInstaller
the first time the CLI runs.

• JSON comments (// or /* */) are supported — thanks to the custom tolerant parser used by RomInstaller.Core.Json.

• Safe to edit manually when RomInstaller is closed.

• To reset configuration, delete the files under %APPDATA%\RomInstaller
and re-run any RomInstaller command to reseed defaults.
