Xash3D FWGS

• Emulator: Xash3D_FWGS
• Folder: /userdata/roms/halflife (/userdata/roms/xash3d_fwgs up to Batocera 42)
• Accepted ROM formats: .game

No Xash3D-FWGS emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

Xash3D-FWGS supports the following games:

• Half-Life, including Blue Shift and Opposing Force.
• Deathmatch Classic.
• Several other mods: https://github.com/FWGS/hlsdk-xash3d/blob/mobile_hacks/dlls/moddef.h

1. Navigate to the game's data folder, eg. for Half-Life this would be Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/<game data>/
2. Copy it to /userdata/roms/halflife/<game data>/ on your Batocera machine
3. Create an empty folder named <game folder>.game and place it in the /userdata/roms/halflife/ folder alongside the folder you just copied over, eg. Half-Life.game.
4. Finally, download https://github.com/FWGS/xash-extras/releases/latest/download/extras.pak and copy it to /userdata/roms/halflife/extras.pak.

An example folder structure with a bunch of games installed might look like this:

roms/
└─ halflife/
   ├─ bshift/
   │  └─ (all of Blueshift's data)
   ├─ bshift.game/
   │  └─ (completely empty)
   ├─ cstrike/
   │  └─ (all of Counter Strike's data)
   ├─ cstrike.game/
   │  └─ (completely empty)
   ├─ Half-Life/
   │  └─ (all of Half-Life's data)
   ├─ Half-Life.game/
   │  └─ (completely empty)
   ├─ valve/
   │  └─ (all of valve game's data)
   ├─ valve.game/
   │  └─ (completely empty)
   ├─ _info.txt   
   ├─ extras.pak
   └─ gamelist.xml
