Importing bulk windows games issue


Go to solution Solved by Lordmonkus,

Recommended Posts

First of all, I LOVE this software! I've spent thousands of $ on games in my lifetime, and I'm not kidding when I say that buying LaunchBox license was the best investment out of them all!

Now. I'm a newbie, and I'm still figuring it out. When I have, say 10 Windows PC games, each in their own separate folder. I drag folders onto launchbox (Like I do for my ROMS), and instead of simply looking for exe files, Lauchbox "finds" 10,000 "games", which are just some random files in there, although in Wizard I specified that it's all windows games, and as such, they all should be started by .exe? What am I doing wrong? How can I specify and tell launchbox to only look for exe files when I'm importing my windows collection. 

Also, these aren't storefront games.

The simplest way is to either drag and drop the exe for the game into LB to import it one game at a time. Or you can make a folder and put shortcuts for your games in that folder, then select all the shortcuts and drag them into LB to import them.
