==== Quick reference ====

  * **Emulator:** [[#sonic-mania|sonic-mania]]
  * **Folder:** ''/userdata/roms/sonic-mania''
  * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.sman''

===== BIOS =====

No Sonic Mania emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

===== ROMs =====

Place your Sonic Mania ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/sonic-mania''.

Add your copy of Sonic Mania, just the `Data.rsdk` file in here.
Then create a blank file called 'Sonic Mania.sman' in this folder also.
This file will allow EmulationStation to launch Sonic Mania and scrape artwork etc.

Once completed, it is **highly recommended** that you grab the Shaders folder in RSDKv5 and turn it into a mod.
Otherwise, movies will not display properly and the filters from video settings won't work.

To do this, create the following directory structure inside your mods directory:

<code>
GLShaders/
| Data/
| | ...
| mod.ini
</code>

Inside `mods/GLShaders/Data/` copy the `RSDKv5/Shaders` directory, and inside the mod.ini, paste this:

<code>
Name=GLShaders
Description=GL3 shaders to enable filters and stuff
Author=Ducky
Version=1.0.0
TargetVersion=5
</code>
