* On Windows when using high DPI displays, if not running ES-DE on the primary monitor and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary monitor, then the ES-DE resolution will not be properly set. The application will still work and if running in fullscreen mode it may not even be noticeable. This issue is probably caused by a bug in SDL where the primary display scaling is always used for calculating the display bounds. If using the same scaling percentage across all monitors, or if not using high DPI monitors at all, then this issue is not relevant. * On Windows when using high DPI displays, if not running ES-DE on the primary monitor and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary monitor, then the ES-DE resolution will not be properly set.

If your emulator is picky about paths, you might want to use this instead of %ROM%, but enclosed in quotes.
`%ROMPATH%` - Replaced with the path defined in the setting ROMDirectory in es_settings.xml. If combined with a path that contains blankspaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks, for example `%ROMPATH%"\Arcade Games"`. Note that the quotation mark must be located before the directory separator in this case.
`%BASENAME%` - Replaced with the "base" name of the path to the selected ROM. For example, a path of `/foo/bar.rom`, this tag would be `bar`. This tag is useful for setting up AdvanceMAME. `%BASENAME%` - Replaced with the "base" name of the path to the selected ROM. For example, a path of `/foo/bar.rom`, this tag would be `bar`. This tag is useful for setting up AdvanceMAME.
`%EMUPATH%` - Replaced with the path to the emulator binary. This is expanded using either the PATH environment variable of the operating system, or using an absolute emulator path if this has been defined. `%STARTDIR%` - The directory to start in when launching the emulator. Must be defined as a pair separated by an equal sign. This is normally not required, but some emulators like standalone MAME will not work properly unless you're in the correct directory when launching a game. Either an absolute path can be used with this variable, such as `%STARTDIR%=C:\Games\mame` or the `%EMUDIR%` variable can be used to start in the directory where the emulator binary is located, i.e. `%STARTDIR%=%EMUDIR%`. If an absolute path is set that contains blankspaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks, for example `%STARTDIR%="C:\Retro games\mame"`. If the directory defined by this variable does not exist, it will be created on game launch.
`%EMUPATH%` - Replaced with the path to the emulator binary. This variable is used for manually specifying emulator core locations, and a check for the existence of the core file will be done on game launch and an error displayed if it can't be found. Normally %EMUPATH% should not be used as the %CORE_ variable is the recommended method for defining core locations.
`%EMUDIR%` - Replaced with the path to the emulator binary. This is a general purpose variable as opposed to %EMUPATH% which is intended specifically for core locations.
`%ESPATH%` - Replaced with the path to the ES-DE binary. Mostly useful for portable emulator installations, for example on a USB memory stick. `%ESPATH%` - Replaced with the path to the ES-DE binary. Mostly useful for portable emulator installations, for example on a USB memory stick.

## Using manually downloaded emulators on Linux
Normally on Linux you would install emulators using either one of the established package formats, i.e. Flatpak, AppImage or Snap, or you would install them using the operating system repository. Less likely would be to build from source code and install to a standard system directory. In all these instances ES-DE should be able to find the emulator when launching a game. But in some rare cases you may instead manually download an emulator as an archive file to unzip somewhere on the file system. Normally you would want to place these files in your home directory, and if running a distribution that has an immutable filesystem (such as SteamOS), you don't even have the choice to install them to a standard system directory.
For these situations ES-DE looks for emulators in the same directories where it looks for AppImages (as explained in the section above), meaning:
```
~/Applications/
~/.local/bin/
~/bin/
```
So placing a manually downloaded emulator binary in either of these directories will make ES-DE able to locate it during game launch.
The following manually downloaded emulators are supported when using the bundled configuration:
| System name | Emulator | Filename configuration |
| :----------- | :---------- | :------------------------------ |
| dreamcast | Redream | redream |
| switch | Ryujinx | publish/Ryujinx |
Note that the Ryujinx binary is not set as executable after unpacking the archive, so you need to do that once before ES-DE can run it:
```
cd ~/Applications/publish
chmod +x ./Ryujinx
```
## Running emulators in fullscreen mode ## Running emulators in fullscreen mode
In general ES-DE does not pass command line parameters to emulators to start them in fullscreen mode. This is so as for most (if not all) emulators, command line arguments overrides the settings the user has defined. This means that windowed mode would have become impossible to achieve without creating custom systems configuration entries if ES-DE enforced fullscreen mode. There are only a very few exceptions for emulators where there is no other way to enter fullscreen mode than by passing such options during game launch.

It's of course also possible to skip this type of directory structure and put all the games in the root folder, but then there will be multiple entries for the same game which is not so tidy. Another approach would be to put all the files in the root folder and then hide the game files, showing only the .m3u playlist files. ES-DE is flexible so do whatever makes most sense for the situation. Setting the directories to the same name as the .m3u files will interpret them as files, meaning they will behave just like any normal files inside ES-DE instead of being displayed as folders. When launching such a game, the file inside the directory that matches the directory name will be passed to the emulator. See the following section below for more information about this functionality.
When setting up games in this fashion, it's recommended to scrape the directory in addition to the .m3u file as it looks nicer to see the metadata for the games also when browsing the folders. ES-DE fully supports scraping folders, although some metadata is not included for logical reasons (and while it's possible to mark a folder as favorite, it will not be part of the Favorites collection as only files can be part of collections). If you only scrape the folders and not the actual game files, it may look somehow ok when browsing the gamelist, but when such a game is part of a collection, the metadata will be missing there. This includes the _All games, Favorites_ and _Last played_ collections but also any custom collection where the game has been added. This setup is of course entirely optional, you can also leave the directories as normal folders, meaning they will behave just like you would expect, i.e. you will have to enter them and then select the file you want to launch. If going for this setup it's possible to easily hide the files that are not relevant using the metadata editor.
It's also recommended to use the metadata editor to set the flags _Exclude from game counter_ and _Exclude from automatic scraper_ for the actual game files so that they are not counted for the game statistics display and not scraped when running the multi-scraper. If you don't want to hide the individual game files but still want a cleaner look, it's also possible to set the flag _Hide metadata fields_ for the game files.
### Directories interpreted as files ### Directories interpreted as files
There is a very special use case which ES-DE supports where you can interpret a directory as if it were a file. This is used in some cases such as for the PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 where a directory rather than a file is passed as an argument to the emulator during game launch. There are two scenarios where it's useful to interpret directories as files inside ES-DE. The first one is to hide the directory structure for multi-disc games and similar while still being able to directly launch files inside these folders, and the second is that some emulators support passing a directory rather than an individual file as the game ROM argument.
If you add the extension that is configured for the emulator to a directory name it will be loaded as if it was a file when ES-DE starts up. In both cases, renaming a directory to one of the supported file extensions will automatically make ES-DE interpret it as a file. This means that the directory can be part of the automatic collections and any custom collections.
As an example using the Sony PlayStation 3 system, the extension in es_systems.xml is .ps3dir so this is what such a directory could look like: The only difference between a real file and a directory interpreted as a file is that the _Delete_ button in the metadata editor will be disabled as ES-DE does not support deletion of directories for safety reasons.
For the first scenario, to automatically launch a file inside a directory, just rename the directory to the same name as the file inside the folder that you would like to launch. For example:
``` ```
~/ROMs/ps3/Gran Turismo 5.ps3dir ~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/
~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio.cue
~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio.gdi
~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio (Track 1).bin
~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio (Track 2).bin
~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio (Track 3).bin
```
In this case the directory is named _Jet Grind Radio.cue_, i.e. exactly the same name as one of the files inside the directory. This means that when launching the game, `~/ROMs/dreamcast/Jet Grind Radio.cue/Jet Grind Radio.cue` will actually be passed to the emulator.
The second scenario is when an emulator supports passing a directory rather than a file to launch a game. Such an example is the PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3.
For PS3 games the extension in es_systems.xml is .ps3 so this is what a game directory could look like:
```
~/ROMs/ps3/Gran Turismo 5.ps3
``` ```
It's also possible to combine these types of special directories with normal directories, for a setup like this: It's also possible to combine these types of special directories with normal directories, for a setup like this:
``` ```
~/ROMs/ps3/racing/Gran Turismo 5.ps3dir ~/ROMs/ps3/racing/Gran Turismo 5.ps3
``` ```
For all intents and purposes the `Gran Turismo 5.ps3dir` directory will now be considered a file within ES-DE, i.e. all file metadata fields can be used and the directory can be part of both automatic and custom collections. Also in this case the directory will be displayed as a regular game file inside ES-DE and when launching the game the directory is passed as the game ROM argument to RPCS3.
The only exception is that the _Delete_ button in the metadata editor will be disabled for these special types of entries as ES-DE does not support deletion of directories for safety reasons.
When setting up a directory like this, make sure to not name any files or folders inside the base directory using the same extension as that will force the base directory to be processed normally, breaking the functionality.

In order to avoid having to display each game as a directory inside ES-DE (that needs to be entered each time you want to launch a game), you can optionally interpret each game directory as a file. Make sure to read the _Directories interpreted as files_ section [here](USERGUIDE.md#directories-interpreted-as-files) to understand how this functionality works, but essentially the following would be the setup required for our example:
```
~/ROMs/scummvm/sky.scummvm/sky.scummvm
~/ROMs/scummvm/queen.scummvm/queen.scummvm
```
In this case the two entries _sky_ and _queen_ will show up inside ES-DE and these will be handled like any other game files and can be part of automatic and custom collections for instance.
The only drawback of this approach is that when scraping using TheGamesDB you will get very inaccurate results as this scraper service does not support ScummVM short names. It can however be worked around by refining the searches. ScreenScraper does natively support ScummVM short names and you should get very accurate results with this scraper service.

Ports are not really executed using emulators, but are rather applications running natively on the operating system. The easiest way to handle these is to add a simple shell script or batch file where you can customize the exact launch parameters for the game.
