When using the flatpak installation method, only the `~/.var/app/app.xemu.xemu/data/xemu/xemu` directory can be written to by xemu. The Hard Disk image must be placed there, for example at `~/.var/app/app.xemu.xemu/data/xemu/xemu/xbox_hdd.qcow2`.
If you want to whitelist additional directories, you can [do so with Flatseal](troubleshooting.md#flatpak-release-will-not-load-bios-mcpx-rom-hard-drive).

## Flatpak release will not load BIOS / MCPX ROM / Hard Drive
## Flatpak release will not load the Hard Drive
Flatpak programs are normally sandboxed, restricting their access to the filesystem.
As explained in the [readme](https://github.com/flathub/app.xemu.Xemu?tab=readme-ov-file#usage): Only `$HOME/.var/app/app.xemu.xemu/data/xemu/xemu` can be written by xemu. The Hard Disk image has to be placed there, for example, at `$HOME/.var/app/app.xemu.xemu/data/xemu/xemu/xbox_hdd.qcow2`. To enable write permissions for the xbox_hdd.qcow2 hard drive file located outside xemu's flatpak system directory, you must grant xemu access to write in an alternative directory. This can be accomplished using either flatpak or flatseal.
By default, xemu can only access `~/.var/app/app.xemu.xemu/data/xemu/xemu`
Note: This step is not necessary for other system files, such as the BIOS or the MCPX ROM.
If you want to allow xemu access to other folders, then:
### Flatpak
1. `sudo flatpak override app.xemu.xemu --filesystem="$HOME/savedgames/xemu/`
Note: Using the same command non-root with the `flatpak --user` parameter will not work.
### Flatseal
1. Install [Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal)
2. Select <kbd>app.xemu.xemu</kbd>
3. In the <kbd>Filesystem</kbd> section, allow access to the folders your BIOS / MCPX / Hard Drive Image are in
