For detailed instructions read the wiki.
For more information on setting up Libretro cores read the Libretro section of the wiki here.
Quick setup:
- Add the emulator for the games you want to add using the emulator configuration screen at Settings->Plugins->Emulators->Configure emulators. This must be done on at least 1 client before you can add the games for that emulator so that the correct media categories are available.
- Add the directories containing your games the same way you would for other media sources, Settings->Media sources->Media sources configuration, taking care to select the appropriate media category for the platform. It is recommended that you have games for different platforms in separate folders.
