BIOS files are files required for some emulators to operate correctly For example, the PlayStation 1 and the NeoGeo require a BIOS file to work. These files are not packaged together with the system. These are not legally distributed, so you will need to supply your own.

To add BIOS files, you need to connect to your Batocera device from a computer :

1. From your computer directory (or finder on Mac OS), browse the network
2. Find Batocera (or directly type \\batocera (windows) or smb://batocera.local (Linux))
3. Add BIOS files into the BIOS directory

Use the md5sum command to get the checksum of your files. There is also the ability to check MISSING BIOS from the EmulationStation menu.

You can find the versions of the BIOS files required by your system when connecting with SSH, they are listed in the file /usr/share/batocera/datainit/bios/readme.txt

Here a the compatible md5 and filenames, per system as of Batocera 5.24:
