If you break things you could always reset it to default via:
`Configurator` -> `Troubleshooting` -> `Reset` -> `Component` -> `Steam Rom Manager`.
## How does it work?
When the sync function is activated launch scripts are generated in a hidden folder:
`retrodeck/.sync/` those scripts are then added to Steam with the ability to launch your games.
Inside the script there are two types of launch commands:
`flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck 'retrodeck/roms/<system>/<game>`'
This is the regular launch command
`flatpak-spawn --host flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck 'retrodeck/roms/<system>/<game>'`
This one is for future Steam Flatpak support, as they need the `flatpak-spawn` permission to launch the games and have to be manually enabled by the user.
Currently the games are not added to Flatpak Steam via Steam Sync.
## Warning - Exotic ROMS filenames can break the scripts
Some games have exotic symbols in their name that could break so the parser and the game won't launch, `( ) [ ]` are fine.
The symbols that could cause issues are:
/ \ { } < > ' * `
It might be worth to rename those games if it contains them.
