 A BIOS or firmware is like the brain of a computer or electronic device. It helps the device start up and makes sure all its parts work together smoothly. In emulation, having the correct BIOS/firmware is important because it allows the software to pretend to be the real device and work properly.
+
 That's why some emulators require BIOS and Firmware files to work correctly or at all.
+
 Generally the bios files should be put in `~/retrodeck/bios` but there could be exceptions to this.
 
 ##  RetroArch (Libretro)
+
 Some cores may need some BIOS files to work or run correctly.

 These files must be placed with the correct name in the given folders:

 ~/retrodeck/bios/Complex.bin'

-The hard disk is optional as RetroDECK already provides a pre-built 8G Xbox HDD image, free of any copyrighted content, and only containing a dummy dashboard.

+MelonDS needs the following files:

-Complex.bin -> Complex_4627v1.03.bin or Complex_4627.bin

-## PICO-8
-
-Pico-8 it's not freeware hence it cannot be included with RetroDECK, however it's supported by using these steps:
-
-1. Download PICO-8 for `Linux 64-bit` from the [official website](https://www.lexaloffle.com/games.php?page=updates) or where you bought it.
-2. Extract the zipfile somewhere on your desktop
-3. Copy the content of the extracted pico-8 folder into `~/retrodeck/bios/pico-8/`

-## MelonDS (Standalone), (NDS)
-
-MelonDS by default needs those files:<br/>
-- `~/retrodeck/bios/bios9.bin`<br/>
-- `~/retrodeck/bios/bios7.bin`<br/>
-- `~/retrodeck/bios/firmware.bin`
-
-However there is a setting to disable the need of these files by going to: `Tools` -> `Start MelonDS` -> `Yes` -> `Config` -> `Emu settings` -> `DS-mode` and removing the check on `Use external BIOS/firmware files`.
-Please be advised that this operation may prevent the games from running correctly.
