Steam and FS-UAE?

Is it possible to combine Steam and FS-UAE? I saw, that OAGD has compatible Steam covers for many games.

I didn't find a feature, but maybe it is possible to start an Amiga Game with Steam with FS-UAE in the background?

Has someone a solution?

At the moment I only have a link to FS-UAE Arcade in Steam, but it only starts the emulator, where I can choose the games, but it would be great, if I can choose the game in the Steam Big Picture plattform and FS-UAE starts automatically with the right game I selected.

I usually added games to steam using "fs-uae.exe Stardust.fs-uae"

Works this also for the pre-configured from the Online Game Database? The .fs-uae files are our own configurations, but I use the Online Game Database to get the configuration of the games.

Yes, you can - with recent versions - also start FS-UAE Launcher with the game UUID (autoselects variant) or game variant UUID as parameter.

For example, to start Lotus Turbo Challenge II:
Code:
fs-uae-launcher(.exe) df05121d-e093-5e11-be88-b1cbbb36f03d
You can find the UUID for the games in oagd.net on the "edit" page for a game. Yes, it is a bit cumbersome, I know. I really should create a general "create game shortcut function" and/or export game entries directly to Steam shortcuts list...

Note: If you use the portable version, you cannot create a shortcut to "FS-UAE Launcher.exe", you need to add a shortcut to the fs-uae-launcher.exe file within Windows/...

Maybe it's because of WHLoad-Files instead ADF-Roms?

I'm just guessing here, because you haven't provided any details. But using FS-UAE Launcher.exe from the portable version won't work, you need to use fs-uae-launcher.exe from the Windows/... sub-directory.

I have now created a Images_Banners.zip, downloadable from http://oagd.net/download with all the Steam-compatible banners on the site

Any update on this. Would like something like "create game shortcut function" since it'll be easier to add to other frontends beyond steam
