How to import PC games

[legolas119]

HI,

I have already imported in LB my Steam games.  Now I have to import some PC games: some of them are installed, others are only .exe file, which not require installation.

I tried to use the function Tools --> Import --> Windows games, but LB automatically detected these programs 

 

I have only to import games, also not installed (because they don't need installation, it is neccasry to run them only with a double click on the .exe file).  Which is the right way in order to create the PC platform with its games inside?

thanks!

Easiest way is to just drag/drop the .EXE to LaunchBox

mmm...but how can LB create the right platform and so on?  this is my Windows section, automatically created when I imported Steam games.  Is it correct to drag/drop my .exe file directly in this Windows section? Or is it better to create a new Platform for example named "PC"  (under the COMPUTERS category) and then dran/drop there the pc games (not related with Steam, of course)?

Correct or not is up to you. I have all PC games under a Windows platform. I do not want to manage a unique platform for Windows base games. If you want them in a unique pc platform just create it and scrape it as Windows then when you add it select the correct platform.

ok, i will add pc games in the same Windows section as Steam games. So i drag/drop for example this .exe file and it appears this screen:

 

I suppose I have to choose the 3rd option, right?

 

thanks!
