Add the folder where you keep your game files. They stay where they are; Teleband just lists them.

BIOS files
Some arcade boards need their BIOS set, like neogeo.zip. Add it the same way as a game; it’s used automatically.

How it works
Your shelf
Others then see which games you have in common with them. Only each game’s title, system and fingerprint (a checksum) are shared — never the files, and never the folder they’re in.
Chat
Lobby and room chat are saved. Every day at 6:00 am New York time the chat clears for everyone and that day’s log is kept by the site’s owner. Logs carry the codename you chose and what you wrote — no email, no address.
Playing together
The person who hosts a room runs the game in their browser and it streams to everyone in the room, picture and sound. Players 2–4 send their buttons back. Only the host needs the game file; the lobby shows who else owns it. Direct connections work on most home networks; a few strict networks may block them.
Controller
Press any button on a controller to wake it. D-pad moves around the menus, A selects, B goes back, Y opens the on-screen keyboard.
