    • On Linux, all flatpaks are displayed as importable applications
    • On Windows, all start menu items are displayed as importable applications
  • Ability to add generation rules
    • Generation rules is a setup to add files (like roms for emulators) as games, launching trough another local application.
      • Example: I can add a generation rule that reads a folder full of .xci files (Switch game cartridges), and select i want to launch them with Yuzu. After applying the generation rule, all these .xci files are shown as launchable games
    • The docs on this feature are relatively light. Feel free to create discussions to ask about how this works.
      • One thing i think i explain poorly in ui is that the 'Additional CLI Args' part needs to have {EXEC} in it. This is also the minimum value needed. For example if the executable you want to launch supports the following format emulator.exe game.bin, you can just put {EXEC} in this field
