## Can I add my own images, manuals, or other media?
|
||||
|
||||
The ES-DE Wiki has [instructions](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md?ref_type=heads#manually-copying-game-media-files) on adding your own media.

The ES-DE Wiki has [Instructions: Manually copying game media files](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md?ref_type=heads#manually-copying-game-media-files) on adding your own media.
|
||||
|
||||
There's a handy spreadsheet that explains each media type:

### Manually copying game media files
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have a library of game media (images, videos and PDF manuals) you can manually copy these files into RetroDECK (ES-DE).
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remember that on Linux filenames are case sensitive.
|
||||
- The file extensions must be in lower case in ES-DE (`.png` instead of `.PNG` / `.Png`).
|
||||
- The media files names must correspond exactly to the game files name.
|
||||
- For directories interpreted as files games (like ScummVM) you will need to add the folder file extension to the media file name example: `dig.scummvm.png`.
|
||||
- Supported image file extensions are: `.jpg` and `.png`.
|
||||
- Supported video file extensions are: `.avi` , `.mkv` , `.mov` , `.mp4` and `.wmv`.
|
||||
|
||||
The default media directory is: `~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media/<system name>/<media type>/<files goes here>`
|
||||
|
||||
The following media type directories are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- 3dboxes
|
||||
- backcovers
|
||||
- covers
|
||||
- custom
|
||||
- fanart
|
||||
- manuals
|
||||
- marquees
|
||||
- miximages (The miximages are generated by ES-DE)
|
||||
- physicalmedia
|
||||
- screenshots
|
||||
- titlescreens
|
||||
- videos
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Example adding media files to games
|
||||
|
||||
**A multi-disk game or a single game:**
|
||||
|
||||
You want to add a screenshot and a video to the game:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/c64/Multidisk/Last Ninja 2/Last Ninja 2.m3u`
|
||||
|
||||
Then the media files structure needs to be the following:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media/c64/screenshots/Multidisk/Last Ninja 2/Last Ninja 2.jpg`
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media/c64/videos/Multidisk/Last Ninja 2/Last Ninja 2.mp4`
|
||||
|
||||
**A Directories interpreted as files game:**
|
||||
|
||||
You want to add a screenshot and a video to the game:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/scummvm/dig.scummvm`
|
||||
|
||||
The media files for this directory which is interpreted as a file will be:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media/scummvm/screenshots/dig.scummvm.png`
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media/scummvm/videos/dig.scummvm.mp4`
|
||||
