Zombeaver Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Unfortunately there's not a great way to do this currently. Your options are to either add them in one at a time manually via new (Ctrl + N I believe) or to drag them in in bulk, indicate that they're "roms", tell the importer that they're Windows games, choose an emulator (you have to choose one, but which one doesn't matter), and once the import is complete, select them all with Ctrl + A, and then bulk-edit the emulator field and blank it out. Scraping shouldn't be an issue either way though - we have Windows games in the DB. Now, whether or not a specific game is currently in that DB is another matter - that's a huge pool of games you're talking about so obviously there will be some gaps.

Lordmonkus Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yeah, what Zombeaver said is the best way to import them. You can bulk import if you have like, having all your shortcut files in a single folder makes this much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
