PC Game Imports being filed as Imported Roms

[PlatRunX]

Hi. I updated to the latest LB version, and for some reason when I'm adding PC games via drag n' drop of the .exe, they are getting imported as Roms and get flagged as requiring an emulator to be set up, which then requires me to edit the metadata by unchecking "Use an emulator to play this game" under Launching tab, as well as deleting the Status under Metadata as "Imported ROM" to get them to launch properly.

I'm at a loss as to why this started happening when it wasn't an issue previously. I follow the usual steps for importing with selecting "None of the above" and "Windows" for system. Has anyone else had this happen?

Hiya, thanks for reporting this. I've run some tests on my end and can reproduce the behaviour you're describing. I'll run this by the team and get back to you with an update.

Thanks for bearing with us in the meantime and sorry for the issues caused here.

I had the same issue and posted about it a few days ago:

Hi Folks,

I just wanted to let you know that we’ve confirmed this behavior, and it is indeed a bug. We’re working to address this in our upcoming beta.

In the meantime, for storefront games, it’s recommended to use storefront importers. For standalone .exe files, you can simply uncheck the Use emulator to play this game option after importing.

I understand this is far from an ideal solution, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I’ll keep you updated as soon as the fix is available.

Cheers,

Unticking the Use an Emulator worked for me
