Official Parser for Steam Rom Manager?

[AftDawn]

Hi, I use EmuDeck, a part of their system for getting non steam shortcuts into steam is through the use of Steam Rom Manager (SRM), I feel like using SRM to have an easy time getting Android games showing up in game mode would be great in the long term.

You can add Android games / apps to Game Mode easily. I've created a guide for it -

Steps -

Edit the Game Mode shortcut launch option to inxlude the Android app / game that you want to run automatically.

And that's great, in the short term. SRM would be a one click setup for game mode, eliminating people from messing up the setup, plus it uses SteamGridDB to fetch images so that game mode doesn't have blank default grids for android games

You could make a simple video on how to setup a SRM parser for Waydroid.

There's even a "manual" parser which will take a folder of .json files to figure out what games are available and how to launch them, cause i have tried setting up a parser but it's hard to get it set up correctly without using manual .json parsing.

The SRM setup it could be as simple as pointing a parser at a subfolder of Android_Waydroid (maybe it could be called SRM entries or something similar) and naming the parser.
