<P>This dialog allows you to configure the folders to search for support files. Simply select the type of support file you want to configure from the tabs and click <B>Browse...</B> to configure the folder to use for those files. Press <B>OK</B> when you have finished to save the changes.</P>
<P>Most support files are named after a games short name. This is a unique name and can be found in the <AHREF="dialog_game_select.htm">Game Select Dialog</A> by enabling the <B>Use Zipnames</B> option. For example if you wanted to place a preview file for X-Men vs. Street Fighter you would call it xmvsf.png.</P>
<P>To use the support files they should be placed in the folder which you have configured.</P>
<P>The table below gives an overview of all the support files and how they should be named.</P>
