====== CorsixTH ======
CorsixTH is an open-source reimplementation of the game engine for Theme Hospital, the classic hospital management simulation game by Bullfrog Productions (1997). It is written in Lua and C++ and requires the original game data files to play. CorsixTH adds modern features such as higher resolutions, widescreen support, updated graphics, custom music and bug fixes.
This system scrapes metadata for the "ports" group(s) and loads the corsixth set from the currently selected theme, if available.
Grouped with the "ports" group of systems.

==== Quick reference ====
  * **Emulator:** CorsixTH
  * **Folder:** ''roms/corsixth/''
  * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.game''

===== BIOS =====
No CorsixTH emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

===== ROMs =====
You need the original Theme Hospital game data files. You can purchase the game from [[https://www.gog.com/en/game/theme_hospital|GOG.com]].
Copy the extracted game folders with their contents into ''/userdata/roms/corsixth/''. If using the GOG version, you can use ''innoextract'' to extract the installer.
Then create an empty file called ''corsixth.game'' in ''/userdata/roms/corsixth/''.

==== Required data folders ====
The following folders from the original Theme Hospital installation are required:

<code>
/userdata/roms/corsixth/
               ├── ANIMS/
               ├── DATA/
               ├── INTRO/
               ├── LEVELS/
               ├── QDATA/
               └── corsixth.game
</code>

==== Custom music ====
If you want to listen to custom music or remastered versions of the original soundtrack, create a ''MP3'' folder inside ''/userdata/roms/corsixth/'' and add your MP3 files.
To change the names of songs displayed in-game, create a file called ''names.txt'' inside the ''MP3'' folder. Write the file name on one line, followed by the desired in-game name on the next line.

<code>
/userdata/roms/corsixth/
               ├── ANIMS/
               ├── DATA/
               ├── INTRO/
               ├── LEVELS/
               ├── QDATA/
               ├── MP3/
               |    ├── track01.mp3
               |    ├── track02.mp3
               |    └── names.txt

  * Verify that the ''.game'' launch file exists in the same directory.
  * If using the GOG version, make sure you extracted the installer properly with ''innoextract''.
