Chrome Bookmarks

Desktop Version 🖥

• Added Scanner for Chrome Bookmarks for Xbox Game Pass Games and GeForce Now Games: Even though the Website Shortcut Creator already exists in both the desktop and plugin, alot of people have asked how do i make shortcuts for xbox game pass games or for geforce now games in an easy way. So i added a scanner for it! When using chrome for Geforce Now and for Xbox Game Pass you can now individually add a shortcut by creating a bookmark , hitting "Ctrl + D" in chrome on your desktop will bring up the Bookmark Tab in chrome, all you have to do is simply add it as a bookmark and press Done. The scanner will add it into your library allowing to to access your own controller layouts as well as Community Controller layouts. Along with all other information from the note system, if applicable.

By doing the above, it works well with Xbox Game Pass games and there is no need to edit anything.

But when it comes to GeForce Now, You must edit the name of the bookmark as Geforce Now defaults to "GeForce Now" so you need to change it to your actual game name or else the scanner wont pick it up.

Decky Plugin Version 🔌

Everything from above has been applied to the Decky Plugin as well!

But for game mode its a little harder to access your mouse cursor, you could use the STEAM button and right trackpad to bring up your mouse cursor and do it manually. But thats kind of annoying, so instead when it comes to doing this in game mode, i recommend you edit your Xbox Game Pass and GeForce Now shortcut provided by NSL. If you click the controller Setting you can simply "Enable the Backgrip Buttons" and change one of them to have a command of "Ctrl" and then a sub command of "D" this will allow you to hit one button to bring up the Bookmarks in your GeForce now and Xbox Game Pass shortcut very easily. From there its a matter of making a Bookmark and running a scan in game mode :) Dont forget for GeForce Now bookmarks you need to edit the name!

I will also be publishing an NSL Controller scheme for the community for Xbox Game Pass and GeForce Now that you can download, this will automatically have the one click "Ctrl + D" button already mapped.

Notes 📝

• There are now two .desktop files:
  • Desktop Version: NonSteamLaunchers.desktop (includes the option to install the latest version of the NSL Decky Loader PLugin").
  • Plugin Version: NSLPlugin.desktop (if you already have Decky Loader installed and want to install/update and dont want to use Desktop Mode.).

-Plugin Files:

• On Linux: Use the "NSLPlugin.Desktop" file to install the plugin if you have Decky Loader installed already.

• On Windows: Run the "NSLPluginWindows.exe" first, then run No_console.exe or Plugin Loader.exe

Windows Installation Steps:

1. Sign in to GitHub and go to this link.

2. Choose the latest link (or whichever version works for you).

3. Scroll down to "Artifacts" and download "PluginLoader Win". This is a zip file that you need to extract on your Windows machine. Make sure you're signed in to see the download link.

4. Download NSLPluginWindows.exe from here.

5. Run NSLPluginWindows.exe first. This will also create the necessary cef debugging file for Decky Loader.

6. Run either No_console.exe or Plugin Loader.exe, depending on your preference.

7. Go into Game Mode or Big Picture Mode to see the Decky Loader plugin and NonSteamLaunchers.

This setup will automatically add all your non-Steam games with artwork, correctly formatted for Windows. Only scanning will work; nothing else will function, so you can either auto-scan or manually scan your games.
