Winlister Data for Games and Minecraft Modpacks/Clients

Wanna add a game that is unsupported on Medal? If our Request a Game function did not work for you, you can still help us provide support for the game! 


If you are willing to help us provide support for the game, follow the steps below:

  1. Download Winlister and extract the contents (Winlister is used by the Medal team daily and gets our thumbs up!) If the hyperlink does not work, copy and paste this link: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winlister-x64.zip
  2. Run Winlister. You will see a list of processes. Boot the game and look back at Winlister.
  3. Find the games process in Winlister. Right click the process and select Save Selected Items
  4. Save the File as a .txt (Name the file after the game) and send us the file

Once we have received the file, we can get the game added to our database!
