Description

Pretty much as the title says. According to 32th, i can just manually edit games.js to path to those, but this is still an issue that I should report.

Research direction

Start with games.js, which the issue identifies as the current manual workaround, and trace how the configuration tool determines installed game versions. Reproduce detection with Steamless versions of SA and UFO, then confirm that those versions are detected without manually editing games.js.
