Easiest Way To Add Windows Games (.exe)

[Lurkon]

I just wanted to share the way I personally add windows games to launchbox.

So I created a .bat file and added it to my emulators folder.

The .bat file:

pushd %~dp1
"%~nx1"

 

Once you've created the bat file, add it as a new emulator in launchbox and add "windows" to associated platform.

And now all you have to do is import the games exe as a rom file.

It's different ;-)

I might give it a try when I re-install one day.

That's cool, I wanted to post the way I did it, to help people that are having issues.

Works well and easy to do.

Another method but involves a few extra steps was to create a shortcut file to cmd.exe and set it to Run: Minimized in the Shortcut tab of the properties of the shortcut. Then in the Associated Platforms command line paramters put /c.

I like your method better

i don't use an emulator for my pc games in LB, but another bonus of doing it that way is you get to use the global emulator AHK tab that can be applied to all those pc games, in case you ever needed that for something.
