+# Multidisk/file games: Directory interpreted as files
+
+<img src="../../wiki_icons/pixelitos/folder-blue-games.png" width="50">
+
+
+You can put all the game files inside a sub-folder in order to keep you game list clean, these folder will be seen as the game itself from RetroDECK and not as an actual folder.
+
+The folder needs to have the corresponding `.m3u` file and the folder needs to be renamed to the exact filename of the `.m3u`.
+
+More info in the [ES-DE UserGuide](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#directories-interpreted-as-files).
+
+**Example:**
+
+In this case the folder will be viewed as a single game and it will launch `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` so you can easly swap the disks from RetroArch menu.
+
+```
+─── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u   <--- Folder
+    ├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd <--- Game Disc
+    ├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd <--- Game Disc
+    ├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd <--- Game Disc
+    └── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- The .m3u file
+```
+
+
+## How do I create a Multidisk Directory?
+
+Let's use the `Dragon Fantasy VII` example as written above. It is a fake PlayStation 1 game.
+
+### Step 1: Make a .m3u sub-folder
+Make a new sub-folder inside the `roms/psx` directory (or what ever system you are creating for) where you move and store the `Dragon Fantasy VII` files with a `.m3u` file extension in the end.
+The name of the folder will be `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` and the full file path will be:
+
+`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
+
+And it should have the disc files inside of it:
+
+```
+─── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u   <--- Folder
+    ├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd <--- Game Disc
+    ├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd <--- Game Disc
+    └── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd <--- Game Disc
+```
+
+### Step 2: Make a .m3u file inside the folder.m3u
+Following the example above, make an empty file inside the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u Folder` called the exact same thing as the folder name in this case: `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`. Now the full file path to the newly created .m3u file should be like this:
+
+`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
+
+### Step 3: Populate the .m3u file
+
+Open the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` file with an text editor and write the filenames of all files contained in the folder, one per line.
+When you are done, the structure  of the file should look something like this:
+
+```
+Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd
+Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd
+Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd
+```
+
+Note this also works with other files types like `.bin` `.iso` `.cue` `.bin` etc.. You just need to make sure that all the files in the folders are written inside the .m3u file.
+
+### Step 4: Launch RetroDECK
+The ES-DE interface that RetroDECK uses should now pick up on the game as one file and you can change disks inside RetroArch.
