CASE 3. Register directly using the game ROM URL

When you press this button, a pop-up will appear

• Console : Select Console Type to add
• File Name : Must not be duplicated in the same console. 
• (For MAME / ARCADE, the game file name and file name must be the same. The MAME / ARCADE game engine determines what game it is based on the file name, and if the file name and ROM are incorrect, it will not run.)
• (In the case of MAME game 1942, it is a 1942.zip file, and the file name must be specified as 1942 to be played)
• https://archive.org/download/MAME2003_Reference_Set_MAME0.78_ROMs_CHDs_Samples/roms/ 1942 .zip
• * You can choose anything other than MAME / ARCADE console
• Game name: Register any name that is easy for you to recognize (used when searching within the app)

• ROM URL: This is the URL address of the game ROM. In case of split compression, separate them with , (comma)
• ROM URL example
• file URL structure
• https://blog.kakaocdn.net/dn/cbyPeh/btrWb2vzleU/j2krgYdpeQmt9zLuD2ulzK/karateka.jsdos?attach=1&knm=tfile.jsdos
• Archive ORG URL Structure
• https://archive.org/download/jsdosbox/ecstatica.jsdos

• https://blog.kakaocdn.net/dn/bUihNn/btsitTwySeJ/NODzW2N3Sxc4ve2lq3ycIk/bioforge.zip?attach=1&knm=tfile.zip,https://blog.kakaocdn.net/dn/bwnbTp/btsis1hhImr/mkwmlOQuDdHeUBHRp12OVK/bioforge.z01?attach=1&knm=tfile.z01,https://blog.kakaocdn.net/dn/lJoo5/btsiuApIlYf/OCiYWTlDjmKezuIVmyGX0K/bioforge.z02?attach=1&knm=tfile.z02

CASE 4. 4. Click New Game or Ranked List Game to add it.

When you click on the game information for new games, weekly rankings, and monthly rankings on the home screen of the DOS Game Player app, they are automatically added.

* Note: Saved information is not forcefully updated.
I clicked and got the list again, but why isn't it updated? => If there is information, clicking on the list will not automatically correct it.

There are only three types of information that are forcibly updated. The rest of the information is not modified.

(Reason: To avoid changing information modified by the user)

• console
• language
• reviewUrl

(When forced update of game name is selected) 4 types of forced update information

• console
• language
• reviewUrl
• Game Name

*If you update the game information after deleting it, new information will be added because it is a new addition
