Adding Windows / EXE games

Follow these instructions to add DRM-free games (or any executable) to AGS.

  1. Place the game into the drm-free folder:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\
  2. The executable must be in the game subfolder. Ensure you have the following file structure:
    Correct:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\game-name\game-name.exe
    Incorrect:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\game-name\game-name\game-name.exe
  3. Note that AGS will only find the game if the executable is named similar to it's parent folder name. Examples that will work:

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime\lovers in a dangerous spacetime.exe

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime\loversinadangerousspacetime.exe

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime\lovers-in-a-dangerous-spacetime.exe
