Notes

Add your copy of Sonic Mania, just the Data.rsdk file in here. Then create a blank file called 'Sonic Mania.sman' in this folder also. This file will allow EmulationStation to launch Sonic Mania and scrape artwork etc.

Once completed, it is highly recommended that you grab the Shaders folder in RSDKv5 and turn it into a mod. Otherwise, movies will not display properly and the filters from video settings won't work.

To do this, create the following directory structure inside your mods directory:

GLShaders/
| Data/
| | ...
| mod.ini

Inside mods/GLShaders/Data/ copy the RSDKv5/Shaders directory, and inside the mod.ini, paste this:

Name=GLShaders
Description=GL3 shaders to enable filters and stuff
Author=Ducky
Version=1.0.0
TargetVersion=5
