Emulators & Games launching
You can configure a emulator for a specific console on the settings page by clicking emulator settings, when adding a new emulator it will show a dialog like this
- Console: You must specify on what console x emulator will be used
- Emulator Application/binary: On the case of android it will display chooser of application that will filter by the compatible emulator for the selected console, once you pick the application that will be used for that console you are good to go, in the case of macos you must select an application from the Applications folder (a .app)
- Custom launch parameters (Desktop environment only): you can specify parameters to pass to the specified emulator binary
In the case of windows, macos and linux games launched nativelly on the platform you dont have to specify a emulator binary, you just have to create a empty entry on the emulators (This will be solved on future releases)
On android the time tracking its not working since it doesn't spawn a process that can be tracked, but in the case of desktop systems once you launch a game the application starts tracking the time played
On android the launching its not just as simple as spawning a process, it involves to call the emulator application intent that handles that specific file, in order to make that we had to compile a json files with all the available intents on all the well known android emulators, its here if you want to check it out
