Don’t know how to download games

[bscheuer]

I just got a recall box and I am not technical savvy at all I have no idea how to download games or fix games that are already installed that are not working

@bscheuer hello
well, did you create your own recalbox ? I mean, if so, you should know how to install a game, and all basic features.
if you bought a pre-installed console using recalbox, i can understand your question. In that case, you shouls ask to your reseller how to use it.

@Scavy No I did not build it myself and thank you very much for replying. I bought it from a guy that owns a store next to where I live I’ve had problems with it and I don’t want to deal with him anymore but I have no idea how to do anything I’m not computer literate at all. And I can’t find anybody to help me!

@Scavy it’s really kind a messed up actually. When I first got it it had all the systems on it and there were many problems with mini games so I brought it back to him he did something where now it’s a new configuration all the systems are gone and he put some of dx artcade on it

@bscheuer The purchase / sale / distribution of the Recalbox system already assembled is illegal, and the forum does not support this type of situation.

In your case, you need to ask the seller for help, unfortunately we cannot help.

BIOS and ROMS are not distributed with Recalbox, as they are copyrighted.

You need to extract these files from the original consoles, OR, buy, OR, download from the internet by yourself (downloading from the internet is not legal, but, not everyone considers it piracy, there is no precise legal understanding of this situation. Automatically, it is what most people do, and it’s not difficult to find packs of ROMS or BIOS on google).

It is forbidden in the forum to request or distribute links with copyrighted content, therefore, I am obliged to lock this post.

Hello @bscheuer
the best thing you can do is to read documentation, see tutorials and start learning retrogaming basics. You now own the stuff, try to learn how to re-install and use your recalbox.
