# How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface
|
||
|
|
To get the games to show up you need to rename the directory to end with a `.ps3` file extension.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Example:_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have directory dump of the a game Blu-ray PlayStation 3 game called Hockey World, the directory is called `Hockey World`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get the it to show up you need to rename and add `.ps3` in the end of the directory name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The directory `Hockey World` becomes `Hockey World.ps3` and the game will show up.

# How to: Install DLC or patches on disc based games

|
||
|
|
`retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` where `GAMEID` is unique for each game [PS3GAMEID-List](https://www.gametdb.com/PS3/List).
|
||
|
|
5. The patches or dlc should now be installed and in the GAMEID directory.
|
||
|
|
6. Move the content of the GAMEID directory into the games directory inside the `retrodeck/roms/ps3/GAMENAME.ps3` directory and overwrite & replace the files.
|
||
|
|
8. You can now remove the `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` directory as the files have been moved.
|
||
|
|
9. The game can be launched inside the ES-DE interface with patches and DLC installed.
