--------------------------------
General Explanation & Tips
--------------------------------
* Content added to Cartridges manually will be in the "Added" Category.
* First load the Application ID and then apply an Argument (Args) for a specific game.
* Be mindful of what extensions your emulator supports, and be sure to replace the placeholder material with your directories.
* On Linux if your folder name has spaces you may need to add "" in those sections.
* On Windows make sure your folders do not use spaces.
