N. B. There are no games supplied with MiB64! It is your responsibility to acquire games. The MiB64 team cannot help you find commercial games, for legal reasons. Requests for Games are not welcome in official MiB64 areas of the Internet.

To use a game in MiB64, the Game file of that game simply needs to be available locally on your system. This could be your hard drive (recommended) or a CD-ROM or other removable media (since removable media is generally slower, loading times will increase but performance of the emulation itself will not be affected). It is not recommended to try to load games across a network, because apart from the increased time taken, there are possibilities of corruption, although this has been found to work.

To view a Game or collection of Games in the MiB64 Game browser, simply tell MiB64 where your Games are by selecting the folder via the File menu or by right clicking in the Browser.

Points:

1. Make sure that your Games are either uncompressed or are compressed in standard Zip file format. No other file compression format is supported.
2. The Game file must have a standard N64 Game file extension, such as .z64, .v64, .rom or in the case of a compressed Game, one of these extensions inside a .zip file.
3. The byte order of your Games is not important, MiB64 can read all standard byte orders. Byte order makes no difference to emulation performance.
4. If you are using zipped Games, there must be only one Game per zip file, so compress your files individually (there are tools available to do this).
5. If you want to arrange your Games in subfolders, you can choose the top level folder and enable the Directory Recursion option. MiB64 will search through all the subfolders and list all the Games together for you.
6. You cannot add Games in seperate trees. For example, if you have some Game on one hard drive and some more on another drive, you will have to pick one or move them together.
7. There is no practical limit AFAIK to the number of Games you can have in your folder(s), except for the amount of storage space you have.
8. Having zipped Games does not effect the speed a game runs at, only the loading time (which may actually be faster, depending on your system).
