      most are just .bin files, however a few are over a dozen files.

      I.E.

      I also have the Normal and NORSA 3DO Bios files.
      Do I put both in, or just one of the other?
      Do I use ALL the 3DO's bios, or just one?

        Follow the documentation of the core/emulator you are using. Documentation should always be read.

              Oh I found them, just annoyed someone slightly renamed them.

              Same file, same check sum but say one's name was "R 243.BIN" and the official name is "REV 243.BIN"
              So I renamed them to the proper name, working perfectly!

              Would it have worked if I didn't?
              Like someone put a ! on one to say it's the genuine thing, but the official name didn't have the !
