How to add hacked games separate from the standard system games

Hello World

 

So I couldn't find an answer in the forums on this so creating the topic now. What is the process to add your hacked games and scrape any media for them? For example I have my NES games and then I have another folder with all the NES Hack games. Am I just creating a separate platform and scraping them as the NES platform?

You can add any game to any platform you want but whether it will work or not depends on a couple of things.

Make sure the emulator you want to use as an Associated Platform for the platform you are adding your game to and of course make sure the game works with the emulator you intend to use with the game.

You can have it scrape as any system you want but in the case of hacks don't expect to find anything since the very vast majority of them are not in the database, you can add your own metadata and images if you want though.
