## Where to put the games?
ScummVM games should be put into the `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/` directory.
## Does ScummVM require BIOS or Firmware?
No
## How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface
**Example:**
In this example we got a game we want to add: `Beneath a Steel Sky`
### Step 1: Add the game
Move the unzipped directories into the `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/` folder.
The result should be: `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/`
### Step 2: Check the ScummVM ID of the game
Go into [ScummVM Game Compatibility and ID List](https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility)
Search for `Beneath a Steel Sky` make a note of the ScummVM ID in this case called: `sky`
### Step 3: Create the ScummVM file
- The `.scummvm` file starts as a empty textfile that needs to be created in in each game you want to adds directory.
- It should be named `.scummvm`
- In our example the file will be called `sky.scummvm` and should be created in `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/`
The end result should look like:
`retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/sky.scummvm`
### Step 4: open the .scummvm file and add the ScummVM_ID
Open up the empty `sky.scummvm` and just type in the `` in the first row of the empty file and save in this case `sky`. Make sure you don't add any spaces or linebreaks and the file should just contain the word `sky`.
### Step 5: The game should now run
The game should now be added to the ES-DE interface from the `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/sky.scummvm` file you just created and can be played.
