Disney Rob Posted Tuesday at 06:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:41 PM Just getting started with launchbox for my PC library. I have literally thousands of games on the hard drive As I enter each of them ONE AT A TIME I wonder is there and option on launchbox where I can just click on the main file and it finds all the exe files. and enters all the data. If not wouldn't it be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowcontrol Posted Tuesday at 07:38 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:38 PM (edited) .exe files? ROMs should be in the extension (or zip) for that particular console system. Yes, you can just drag and drop them straight from an Explorer window directly onto the LaunchBox window and it'll start the import process. I highly recommend starting with the Unbroken Software YouTube channel and watching their setup videos - they are very informative and will clear up all the questions and nuances of the software and its workflows.

skizzosjt Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM There is no auto import process for native PC games that were not purchased through a storefront. If they are storefront bought games like Steam, Epic, Ubisoft Connect and so on, then you can follow the instructions on linking those accounts to auto-import those games.

C-Beats Posted Wednesday at 03:17 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:17 AM In file explorer go to the root folder and search for "*.exe" (without quotes) and then drag the results to LB to import them all in one go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Rob Posted Wednesday at 12:46 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 12:46 PM No, these are games purchased from stores in the past. Hard copies I installed on the hard drives. They are either exe, bat, or com files to execute. I am talking games from the 80's and 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
