How to Add PC Games to RetroBat! (The Easy Way)

Want to turn RetroBat into the ultimate all-in-one frontend? In this step-by-step tutorial, we’re looking at exactly how to add PC Windows games to RetroBat so you can launch modern indie titles, and AAA games, right alongside your favorite retro classics!

RetroBat runs natively inside Windows, meaning you don’t need an emulator to play your PC library. Instead, we’ll use clean shortcut paths and pointer files to keep your frontend organized, fully controller-supported, and looking pristine. Whether you want to add standalone executables or link your Steam library desktop shortcuts, this guide covers everything you need to know.

We’ll also look at how to properly scrape box art, logos, and video previews using ScreenScraper inside RetroBat so your Windows library blends seamlessly into your theme.
