To avoid hitting GitHub's API rate limits, you can provide a personal access token. Create a token with no special permissions needed and set it in the launcher settings. You can create a token at GitHub Settings -> Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Tokens (classic) > Generate new token You don't need to give it any special permissions. Then paste that Token into your Settings field. Do not share your Token!

The launcher uses a games.json file to manage the available games. You can customize this file to add your own games or modify existing entries. The file is organized into three categories: standard, experimental, and custom.

Each game entry requires the following properties:

• name - The display name of the game as it appears in the launcher
• repository - The GitHub repository in the format username/repository
• folderName - The folder name where the game will be downloaded and installed
• gameIconUrl URL of the game's icon image. If null, a default icon will be used.
