-Ordinarily, you would need to "install" the game onto the emulated PS Vita's system software (just as you would the original PS Vita), however Batocera takes care of that automatically for you. All that's required is to put the TITLE ID of the game in square brackets at the end of its name. For example:+The process for installing games has two steps: 
 + 
 +1. Install the game from the Vita3k interface (that can be launched automatically if you open the .zip file). To do so, go to the File menu and install as a .zip format. You will see Vita's system software (just as you would the original PS Vita) with a new line with the game when it is installed. 
 + 
 +2. After the install, you will be requested if you want to delete the .zip file. You can now do it, as the game is now installed in ''/userdata/saves/psvita/ux0/app/<TITLE ID>''. Now, you need to create a launcher for Batocera EmulationStation, as a ''.psvita'' file (a simple text file, that can even be empty). The trick is that you need to put the ''<TITLE ID>''
