Games Scanner
The Games Scanner is probably the coolest feature of Lemonade! It will scan a selected directory for all ADF and ZIP files and will check its database to see if they are registered working game files for any of the games in the database. If Lemonade finds any registered game files for a game, it will automatically set that game as playable.
This is the ideal way of setting games to playable in Lemonade if you have a large collection of game files.
WARNING: The Games Scanner may take a while to complete depending on the amount of files you have to scan.
Running a Games Scan
Lemonade's Games Scanner can be launched by clicking the Games Scanner button on the Encyclopedia section of the Options screen. This will display the Games Scanner options window.
The Games Scanner options window is where you can choose how the Games Scanner will work. The first thing to do on the options window is to select the scan target - the directory you would like to scan for games. To select a scan target, click the ... button and select a directory from the browse for folder dialog box.
Note: The Games Scanner will automatically scan all of the sub-folders of the selected directory.
The Games Scanner has the option of automatically copying any recognised game files it finds to a new folder which you can specify. This is extremely useful because once you perform a scan, you can then burn a copy of that folder to CD/DVD, and be safe in the knowledge that all the game files in that folder are Lemonade compatible.
To enable this option, first check the "Copy recognised files to specified folder" checkbox, and then select the folder you would like to copy the files to by clicking the ... button.
The Update Options allow you to choose whether you would like the scanner to update all the games in the database (even if they are currently set to playable), or just unplayable games.
When you are happy with your chosen options, click the Start Scan button. The main window of Lemonade will disapeer and the Games Scanner will begin a scan.
During the scan you can Pause the scanner, play a game of Hangman to pass the time, or Cancel the current scan (Any games recognised by the Games Scanner up until the Cancel button is clicked will be added to Lemonade).
