When using custom emulator configurations, Playnite uses Supported File Types profile property to scan files ROM files. Make sure that arguments are configured according to what selected emulator supports (by checking its documentation). This is usually caused by wrongly configured profile Arguments that are passed to the emulator. In both case, please report an issue on GitHub Emulator starts, but game is not launched Playnite either doesn't have a profile for the emulator or the emulator has been updated in a way that prevents Playnite from detect it. Make sure that problematic profile points to an existing file. Usually occurs when using custom profile if executable path is not properly configured. If you encounter any issue when using built-in emulator configurations/profiles, please open new issue on GitHub to let us know and we will fix it.

Can be passed into profile configurations dynamically via which contains full path to a ROM file. Emulator properties PropertyĮmulator's installation folder.
Some emulators support multiple profiles, which affect how a game is started and imported.Īlternatively you can add new emulator manually if built-in support doesn't work in a way you prefer, or you can just add custom profile to automatically imported built-in emulator. If an emulator is recognized as support emulator, it will be show on import dialog with an option to select which emulator profiles to import. Recommend way of adding new emulator is by importing it. If a game has multiple ROM files assigned to it (on Installation tab while editing a game), Playnite will show selection during during game's startup, to specify which ROM should be passed to an emulator. If you add a game manually, you can configure launch via an emulator by adding Emulator type Play action. If a game is imported via emulation import dialog, Playnite configures game launch via specific emulator (the one used to scan and import games) automatically. Currently supported platforms are: Google Drive, DropBox and OneDrive. Exclude online filesĮnabling this option will skip scan of files that are stored on cloud storage paths and are not currently downloaded, to prevent files from being downloaded during scanning process. Multiple patterns can be specified by separating the list with comma, for example: *.chd,*.isoĬhd files are excluded by default because there are currently no records for them in emulation database Playnite uses for game matching. This can significantly speed up scanning process but also make import less accurate. When a file matches specified pattern(s), its checksum won't be calculated and game will be imported based on other ROM properties (mainly file name). These specify file patterns used during checksum scan.

Specific configurations can be excluded from global library update on scanner configurations screen via Library -> Configure Emulators menu. Scanner configurations can be used to automatically add new games during library import via Update Game Library menu. Right-click menu also gives you an ability to change platform and region in bulk. You can alternatively split or merge these via right-click menu after selecting games on import list. Playnite by default groups multi-disc games under one game entry. If you want to increase accuracy of the import, make sure you also assign correct platforms to the profile and that those platforms have platform specification assigned to them.
#LOCALE EMULATOR NO PROFILE HOW TO#
Built-in emulators/profiles use several different method how to detect a game.Ĭustom profiles primarily match games by specified file extensions. How games are imported is controller by an emulator and its selected profile. To import a game you need configure a scanner first. Automatic game import might not be as accurate as in case of built-in profiles, since custom emulators only provide scanning based on a file name and file extension.
If you think that there's an emulator that should be added to built-in list, please open new issue on GitHub for it to be added.Ĭustom support: You can manually configure any emulator that provides a way of launching specific games via command line arguments. This also includes import of emulated based on libretro game database. The support is implemented in two ways:īuilt-in support: Playnite can recognize and import several known emulators. Playnite has a support for handling and importing of emulated games. If you are having issues with non-arcade emulators, please open GitHub issue (games not being imported or launched properly). Built-in support for more well known arcade emulators will be added in future. You will have to configure those manually. Playnite currently doesn't have built-in support for any arcade emulator.
