Help ways to track the playtime of emulated games?

[Irman]

Hey everyone hope ya'll having a great day.

I’m mostly using PCSX2 and DuckStation these days, as the title says, I’m looking for a way to track my playtime on emulators. mainly those two. Any ideas, tips, or tricks? (Extra points if there’s some kind of addon or tool that can directly sync with sites like Backloggd.)

Both of those emulators hae a "time played" info tab in the rom/iso selector part of the UI, although sometimes it gets wiped with major updates to the emulators.

You could set up PlayNite or Launchbox to help track game time, with how long to beat data.

I've been dooting around with PN, its not half bad.

ohhhhh, I was searching right now in the emulator to find what you meantioned and and couldn't find it. realized it's because I was on the Grid view. yes it's visible in the list view thanks ! however, is there a way to make it show the time in more details ?

Heyo I also do have PlayNite (didn't know about Launchbox), but got to lazy to try and sync it with the emulators, should I just make it recognize the emulator the way I made it recognize my steam ?

record each playthrough. Add up the total time of the videos.

Doesn't seem to be any option to make things more granular than minutes before an hour is played and then just displaying hours played.

Duckstation and PCSX2 has time played built in.

there should be an add-on for howlongtobeat, and adding an emu is a bit of a slog, but easy once you get the hang of it.

yes I added the emu games just now, that wasn't very hard. thanks for the name of the add-on I'll use it.
