Platforms¶
RomMBat is tested one row at a time. A row is one emulator on one system, and one core where the emulator has several, because two emulators for the same console keep their saves in different places. RetroBat runs the default row unless you pick another emulator or core for the system in its settings.
A certified row passed every check against a real RetroBat install: the game lands where the emulator reads it, it launches with its artwork, and its saves, save states and playtime reach RomM and come back. BIOS files come from your RomM library, so a game that needs one your library lacks may not start, even on a certified row. A system that is not listed has not been tested yet.
