Add a first emulated game to Playnite

This guide starts with a small, testable Playnite setup. Use the official project for the current build and its documentation for platform-specific instructions.

Set up and test

  1. Install Playnite and open its emulation settings.
  2. Add an emulator executable with the correct launch arguments for one platform.
  3. Add a small game folder and import one title to check matching and paths.
  4. Launch that title, then edit its metadata and fullscreen presentation if desired.

Continue from here

Once one game launches and exits cleanly, expand the library a system at a time. Edit this page to add screenshots, troubleshooting notes, or further tutorials for this frontend.
