# System-Specific Guides

Most systems in Provenance work out of the box — import a ROM and play. However, some systems have extra configuration options, additional file requirements, or unique features worth knowing about.

* [Nintendo 64](/platforms-and-performance/system-guides/n64.md) — Custom texture packs, Mupen64Plus settings
* [Nintendo 3DS](/platforms-and-performance/system-guides/3ds.md) — emuThreeDS native core, system files, performance tips
* [GameCube & Wii](/platforms-and-performance/system-guides/gamecube-wii.md) — Dolphin native core, system folder, HD textures

## RetroArch Core Folder Structure

Many systems in Provenance use **RetroArch-based cores**. These cores support additional files and configuration through RetroArch's standard folder structure:

* **System files** — BIOS, firmware, and other required files
* **Cheats** — `.cht` cheat code files
* **Shader presets** — Custom visual filter configurations
* **Core overrides** — Per-core and per-game settings

Files placed in the RetroArch system directories are automatically available to the corresponding cores. Access these folders via the [Web Server](/advanced/restoring-files.md) or Files app.
