# How it works

Basically, the Launcher downloads the file *<mark style="color:red;">**GameList.txt**</mark>* which contains the data of every game and displays it.

## Host Files

These are the folders overview in the Host.

* **App:** Contains the patches and updates for every game.
* **Config:** Contains the Media and Game List.
* **Launcher:** Contains the Launcher files.
* **News:** Contains the News and Alerts of every game.
