retbrorl (Pronounced: Ret-Bro-Rull) files are a core part of Retbro, since they provide the ROMs for the emualator. This also provides the streaming capabilities. To create them, please use the editor (genrator) here.

Editor Manual

By default when you open the Editor, it will look like this: image.
Please note that the Retbro system is required and is part of Retbro and gives all information about your list.

Initialising Your List

  1. Open the Retbro Section to look like this
    image
  2. Change the author tag by pressing edit then chaning "My Awesome Name" to your name
  3. Change the website tag by pressing edit then changing "https://YOUR.WEBSITE.OR.GITHUB.PAGES.SITE" to the website of your list. You can always change these details later.

4) Changing the description

This is a little harder since it is multiple lines. What you want to do is keep your new description's first line around the same length as the placeholder and the second line can be as long as the text input box is.

5) Changing the platform settings

On each platform setting, set it to one of each (delete the things that is already there- commonly [True]/False NOT the thing before that- eg. Safari Support: ): True, False, Partial, Controller Only, Keyboard Only, Mouse Only, Keyboard+Mouse Only, Controller+Keyboard Only, Controller+Keyboard+Mouse Only.

6) ROM Sources Tag

Set your ROM sources here.

7) Legal: True

This is a reminder to you and other people that the list should be 100% legal. If it is not, it is a breach of the Terms & Conditions.

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THE LEGAL: TRUE TAG
