There are three ways to add ROMs to Gaseous:
* Web Upload
* Import directory
* Custom library
**Note**: Duplicate ROMs are not imported. If the hash of a ROM is already in the database, it will be skipped.
## Web Upload
1. Click the Upload button in the page banner

2. In the upload dialog, optionally set the platform drop down. This can help Gaseous to determine what platform the uploaded ROMs are for if a signature match is not possible.

3. To upload the ROMs click the "Drop files here to upload" button and select the files, or drag the ROMs into the dialog
4. The files will be uploaded and processed. These files go into the main managed library.
## Import Directory
1. Copy the ROMs to be added into the ``~/.gaseous-server/Data/Import`` directory
2. Once a minute a background task named "Title Import" will process these files and move them into the main managed library
3. Import errors are sent to the ``~/.gaseous-server/Data/Import Errors`` directory
## Custom Library
