Darkcloud Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi is there a way to scrape Windows games into different collections. I bassicaly want one for each Download service. So Steam, Gog, Origin, Blizzard and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You're always going to scrape them as windows games, but you may be able to create a platform for each service, say "Blizzard", just scrape it as windows. If you want to go full on, you can go to manage platforms and change all the platform information and put in some personal art.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have always just added different PC games as their own platform. I don't get having it designated as windows games because many games are on multiple OS's. It should be PC Games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyMonty Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I created a guide for importing Blizzard games. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/40100-guide-how-to-import-blizzard-games-into-launchbox/#comment-251333After import you can edit the platform for the games from Windows to what ever you desire. If you need help on how to, I can edit the guide and add that if if you think it'd be helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You can call the platform(s) whatever you want, but scrape as windows. I guess since launchbox is windows only... it's the catch all for PC games. But that's only relevant to how you import and scrape them. As mentioned above, once imported, you can sort them however you like.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkcloud Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I got Steam and the rest of the Windows Games as separate entries now but I can't specify folders to scan for Windows games so he only scans for games in the standard installation folders. It would be easy if I could specify folders to scan through since I have the games in Folders for each download platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You can go to import, roms, files, use windows search for .exe in whatever folder, pick any emulator, doesn't matter, name platform, scrape as windows, import. Then select all the games you just imported into launchbox, right click, bulk edit, and change the emulator to no emulator. This should workSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm just not sure if you can bulk edit it to not use an emulator... (This tells launchbox to treat an item like a program and not a rom), so maybe double check that first.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 you can bulk edit launchbox to use no emulator just pic emulator from the 1st drop down and leave the 2nd blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
