      Hi. I’m not able to save my dosbox games to favorites. I tried ticking the favorites game box too, bit that didn’t work either. Is there a config I must edit or something?

        @duglor i never had any problems adding DosBOX-Games to Favourites just by pressing Triangle on my Gamepad while the specific game is chosen in ES.
        How did you try to add them to favourites?

          @sirhenrythe5th I tried the same thing. The button that adds game to my favorites does nothing.

            Please fill out the info about your setup requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

            So only PC games won't work as Favorites, other systems are ok ?

              @mitu Yes and I know what I did wrong. The Game itself was really a folder, with the file that launched it needing to be favorited and renamed the name of the game. For example My Kingmaker folder had a file called LaunchHere.bat to run and that is what had to be clicked to run. However, that was the file that needed to be favorited, not the Kingmaker folder game itself. My bad. :D Thank you all anyway!! SOLVED
