- Navigate to the game's data folder, eg. for Half-Life this would be
Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/<game data>/
- Copy it to
/userdata/roms/xash3d_fwgs/<game data>/
on your Batocera machine - Create an empty folder named
<game folder>.game
and place it in the/userdata/roms/xash3d_fwgs/
folder alongside the folder you just copied over, eg.Half-Life.game
. - Finally, download https://github.com/FWGS/xash-extras/releases/latest/download/extras.pak and copy it to
/userdata/roms/xash3d_fwgs/extras.pak
.
An example folder structure with a bunch of games installed might look like this:
roms/ └─ xash3d_fwgs/ ├─ bshift/ │ └─ (all of Blueshift's data) ├─ bshift.game/ │ └─ (completely empty) ├─ cstrike/ │ └─ (all of Counter Strike's data) ├─ cstrike.game/ │ └─ (completely empty) ├─ Half-Life/ │ └─ (all of Half-Life's data) ├─ Half-Life.game/ │ └─ (completely empty) ├─ valve/ │ └─ (all of valve game's data) ├─ valve.game/ │ └─ (completely empty) ├─ _info.txt ├─ extras.pak └─ gamelist.xml
