Just installed this great app on my MacBook pro 13in after reading this post. Any recommended games and how can I add game collections to my library?
Not sure what cores should I install, each time I navigate through the list of game collection an alert appears. How can I turn this feature off?

Love this app. LOL I keep forgetting I have it. Only really annoying thing is that between my ear pods and my game pad, it makes for quite the mess of wires. I tried playing with the BT speaker, but there was too much lag so it didn't really work.

Can someone help me getting started with this app? I still don't know how to add games on my library. The user guide is a bit tricky and more advanced, I need some thing simple and step by step guide.
