Adding Console Games

Open Settings, go to Import Games, then Emulator Games.

Choose the emulator app first. For example DuckStation, PCSX2, RPCS3, Xenia, Dolphin, PPSSPP, Cemu, or another supported emulator.

Choose the ROMs / games folder. This should be the folder where your console games are stored.

Leave Platform on auto-detect unless the launcher asks you to choose manually.

Use Start in folder only if your emulator needs a custom working directory. Most users can leave it empty.

Press Find games.

If any result is marked with !, select it and fix the game title or cover search text.

Press Save changes to add the found games to the launcher.


Adding PC Games

Open Settings, go to Import Games, then PC Games.

In Game executables, choose a game .exe or .lnk file.

Each selected executable is added to the queue. You can add multiple PC games one by one before saving.

Select a queued game if you want to edit its title or SteamGridDB cover search text.

Press Save changes to add the queued games to the launcher.

For PC games, adding the exact executable or shortcut is usually better than scanning a whole folder.

it just keeps saying "emulator files was not found" when trying to connect it to my folder (Linux, MelonDS) Can you just add a way to add ROMs manually? I think it would save a lot of headache.

Nintendo DS support is already there and it works on my side with melonDS: select the melonDS executable, select the ROMs folder, choose Nintendo DS if auto-detect does not pick the platform type (works on my side), then scan.

Can you tell me exactly what you selected in each field?

Emulator app:

ROMs / games folder:

Platform selected:

melonDS install type: native package, AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, or something else?

The launcher currently scans `.nds` and `.dsi` for Nintendo DS.
