  • the ROM directory,
  • the .cheats subdirectory in the ROM folder,
  • or ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/cheats. It will use the first file it finds.
• Save files - ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/savefiles
• BIOS - ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/system (Please copy the corresponding BIOS files into this directory.)

Compatible with RetroArch romset
