Adding new emulator
It's highly recommended to use automatic emulator import feature, since that will configure all fields properly for you.
This page describes available settings for emulators and emulator profiles. Every emulator has to have at least on emulator profile.
Profiles provide a way to specify different settings for one emulator. For example you can create 32-bit and 64-bit profiles that would run appropriate version of emulator. Or have fast and accurate profiles that would run emulator under different configuration (BSNES for example).
Supported platforms Specifies list of platforms supported by profile. Affects whether the profile will be available when assigning to a game (depending on game's selected platform).
Executable Full path to emulator's executable.
Arguments Emulator's arguments to be used when starting specified executable.
Working directory Startup directory used for specified executable (when empty uses executable's directory).
Supported File Types List of ROM/Image file types supported by emulator profile. Used for game import when scanning folder using specified emulator profile.
Playnite can automatically detect various emulators and configure settings for you. Use Import Emulators button, select folder containing emulator(s) and Playnite will automatically add detected emulators with predefined profiles.
