Importing Games

iFly imports games four ways. All of them route through the same importer, so the file ends up in the right place no matter which you use.

Files app / document picker

In iFly, add games from the Files app. Pick a single file (.chd,.cdi, .gdi) or a whole folder for multi-track dumps. This works on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.

Drag-and-drop (iPad)

On iPad (iOS 15+), drag files from Files, Safari downloads, or another app straight onto the iFly library grid.

Wi-Fi upload (WebDAV / HTTP)

Start the built-in web server in iFly, then scan the QR code or open the shown URL in a desktop browser and drag files in. Works over WebDAV or plain HTTP on iOS, tvOS, and macOS — the easiest way to move large arcade sets onto Apple TV.

URL scheme

Links using the ifly:// scheme open a file and import it through the same policy.

Where files go

Games land in ROMs/, BIOS in BIOS/, controller skins inSkins/ (under Documents or Caches). Skins (.deltaskin,.manicskin) are routed to Skins/ automatically.
