Importing PC Games

Recommended Posts

I have a ton of Windows games on an external drive.  How can I add these to Launchbox?  I'm fine with manually selecting the EXE to import them one-by-one, but when I select the platform 'Windows', it then requires me to choose an emulator, which Windows games don't need an emulator.  Whats the best method for me to import these Windows games?

Also ... why does the Windows platform require choosing an emulator??

Drag and drop the exe (or shortcut if you prefer) into LB and in the first prompt choose the 3rd option in the image below. It is asking for an emulator as you are likely choosing an option that makes LB think you are importing an arcade or console rom.
