I think you don't need a specific feature for this. You can create a Standalone launcher for each game. I did it for my PC games. I admit, this takes some times if you have a big collection.
There are 2 solutions for the executable :
- Without launching Steam : select the executable of the game (for Windows it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GameName\GameName.exe)
- With Steam launcher : select the Steam executable (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe) and add in parameters the URL (open .lnk file with basic text editor), like "steam://rungameid/892970"
Does this meet your need?
Hello @Wintermute0110
I have a suggestion to make:
I have several games on Steam, and I like to put them in a separate launcher on the Advanced Emulator Launcher. For this I save the shortcuts of the games that I want on a separated folder and create a launcher .LNK Launcher. The problem is that Steam saves the shortcuts in .url format and not in .lnk as a orfinary windows shortcut. To run I found a workaround:
I create the launcher normally, the paths to the folder where are are shortcuts, artworks and all, and at the time of adding the games, I go in launcher options, advanced options, and change the type of rom (.lnk) to the shortcut type steam (.url) and add command. Games are normally added, with arts, NFO and everything else. But they do not start because the launcher gives a bug, so I need to go into advanced launcher options again and switch from .url to .lnk. Everything works 100%.
would it be possible to extend LNK launcher support for .lnk and .url?
I have tried to put the lnk|url syntax in the rom type (just like emulator launcher: eg Mega Drive launcher: bin|zip) but the error persists.
This support is also very good for when you have non-steam shortcuts (I have several also to take advantage of the Steam Overlay)
Sorry for the long description, I hope it was clear.
Best Regards
