Adding games to launcher
Hi, I tried copying the games into the floppies folder and downloads folder but they don't show up even when I scan. How do I add games to launcher?

I'm using FS-UAE 2.8.3 on a Windows 10 laptop.
I couldn't even find the Scan button... Only when I saw the list of games from the database and having selected one of them and clicked Start was I introduced to an option to scan my files. I copied my files to C:\Users\{my actual username}\Documents\FS-UAE\Downloads and hit the Scan button, a message stated that it didn't find my file. But it had found the files I had copied and they now appear in the list of games in the launcher. Hope this is helpful to you somehow. By the way - Is there another way to scan for my games? |

Main menu (top left button in the Launcher) -> File Database.

Do the names have to match to appear in the database? If so is there a app to rename them? I have utilities like that for other emulators..

Can the db scan properly identify floppy image in zip or lha format archives? Maybe that is the problem I am having...

Ok thanks. That link said they were working letting people add new varients that aren't matched, so maybe I will be able to contribute that way...
