One pack per platform, and it holds everything the platform runs: its own BIOS list plus every file its emulator cores load. Pick your platform, download the ZIP, extract to the BIOS path. The installer above does the same file by file. At a terminal it asks whether to install everything or to choose systems, cores and regions, and `--system`, `--core`, `--region` and `--target` make the same choice without questions. For a bare minimum, build your own pack below.

A pack over 2 GB comes in several parts (`Pack.part1of2.zip`, `Pack.part2of2.zip`), and every part is needed. Each part is an ordinary ZIP: extract them all into the same folder.

The AmberELEC pack holds its own `bios/` folder. Unzip it into `/storage/roms/`.
ZIPs are made for the setups most people download. The others read "Use the command": the installer above installs every file for them and checks each one, and `--dry-run` shows what it would install ([why no ZIP](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/wiki/faq/#why-is-there-no-zip-for-my-setup)).
The EmuELEC pack holds its own `bios/` folder. Unzip it into `/storage/roms/`.
The MinUI pack holds its own `Bios/` folder. Unzip it into `<SD card>/`.

The RetroDECK pack holds its own `bios/` folder. Unzip it into `~/retrodeck/`.
