+ Even while this port is a fork and not an official port, this documentation aims

+ Once you have the <em>Exult</em> app on your device, you will need to upload the games to your

+ </p><p>
+ First you will need to put the games into a folder called game and use the following
+ folder structure:<br/>
+ game<br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>game</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>+-- blackgate</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>| +--- static</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>| +---- *.*</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>+-- serpentisle</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>| +--- static</kbd></font><br/><font color="maroon"><kbd>| +---- *.*</kbd></font><br/>
+ Please make sure that all the file and folder names are in lowercase, iOS is case sensitive
+ and the games might not be detected otherwise.
+ </p><p>
+ Now connect your device to your computer, start iTunes and select your device in it. Click "Apps",
+ scroll down to "File Sharing" and select <em>Exult</em>. Now drag and drop the game folder you prepared
+ in the first step.
+ </p><p>
+ Note: if you want to use mods just add them to the game folder structure before you drag and drop
+ that in iTunes file sharing.<br/>
