RetroBIOS

Puts the BIOS files emulators need in the right folder, and checks them.

It finds the setup and its BIOS folder, downloads only the missing files and checks each one. It works with RetroArch, Batocera, EmuDeck, RetroBat, Recalbox, RetroDECK, RomM and more.

Run it:

uvx retrobios

Or pipx run retrobios, or pip install retrobios and then retrobios. Python 3.8 or newer.

Add --check to see what is missing without changing anything, and --help for every option.
