When you configured the wifi or plugged an Ethernet cable on the recalbox, it automatically shares folders on the local network.
On your computer, got to Network on Windows explorer, and select the recalbox :
If you don't see your Recalbox in your network, try to type \\RECALBOX in the explorer address bar.
If it doesn't work:
Go in the recalbox menu,
NETWORK SETTINGS
Note down your IP.
Then type it in the explorer address bar, (for example \\192.168.1.30)
If it still doesn't work and you're on Windows 10: -lien manquant-
You can access all recalbox shared folders
ALTERNATIVE:
You can open recalbox in your webbrowser at http://recalbox/ or http://recalbox.local/ or using the actual ip, for example http://192.168.1.30. There you can see the system status, configure recalbox and also upload ROMs and BIOS.
Depending on your recalbox installation you can also use the new user-friendly web-based manager 2.0 - https://www.recalbox.com/blog/en/post/blog-2017-03-06-manager2/
Just copy the files in the corresponding folder. You can use either .zip files (for supported systems) or uncompressed roms. To refresh the game library, go to the Menu, then Games Settings then Update Games Lists

When you add a Scummvm game, create a folder with the name of the game followed by the ".scummvm" extension and copy files of the game in it. In this folder, you will have to add a single file, named [gameshortname].scummvm
You can find short names for all supported games at http://scummvm.org/compatibility/
For example, you can copy the game "Broken Sword" in the directory "Broken Sword 1.scummvm" under the scummvm directory. In this folder create a file named sword1.scummvm
scummvm|- Broken Sword 1.scummvm| |- sword1.scummvm| |- ... other files of the game
The name of your directory will be displayed as the name of the game in Recalbox menu. Selecting it will start the game.
You can quit the game and get Scummvm options by using the Ctrl + F5 shortcut.
