Open Daijishou > Settings > (Under All settings) Library > Import Platform > Select the Android.json file.

Now go to the Android Platform > Path > Sync

Note: It is not an official platform and you can flag whether an app is a game or not if you go to daijisho apps section and then long press on an app and mark it as a game/not a game. It will show up in this android platform after syncing. By default the emulators themselves will likely be wrongly flagged as games.
