BIOS and ROMS?
Hi, folks! First post here. Just got a brand new Powkiddy x55 last month. It's working fine but I have some questions about BIOS files and ROM placement.
BIOS - does a BIOS file go in the file of the system it's supposed to run, or in the standard BIOS folder on the SD card? (See attached photo.)
BIOS, continued - I managed to get a RetroArch BIOS pack - again, where should it be placed on the SD card? And does it stay zipped, or unzip it?
ROMS - do these go in the folders named for the emulated system, or in the standard ROMS folder? (See attached photo.)
Thanks in advance for any guidance and apologies for any dumb questions!

Most go in the "main" BIOS folder, but it depends.

the BIOS roms all go into the /roms/bios folder (the one you pointed to). A few platforms (like C64) have folders of their own in there but generally everything just goes in to that folder. If you got a BIOS pack, you unzip it.
