What is this ?

This is a command line tool to generate the steam_settings folder for the emu,
you need a Steam account to grab most info, but you can use an anonymous account with limited access to Steam data.


Usage

generate_emu_config [options] <app id 1> [app id 2] [app id 3] ...

Login:

You'll be asked each time to enter your username and password.
You can also place a file called my_login.txt beside this tool with the following data:

  • Your username on the first line
  • Your password on the second line

But beware though of accidentally distributing your login data when using this file.

Account ID:

The script uses public Steam IDs (in Steam64 format) of apps/games owners in order to query the required info, such as achievement data.
By default, it has a built-in list of public users IDs, and you can extend this list by creating a file called top_owners_ids.txt beside the script, then add each new ID in Steam64 format on a separate line.

When you login with a non-anonymous account, its ID will be added to the top of the list.


Available [options]

To get all available options, run the tool without any arguments.

  • app id 1: the ID of the first app, this is mandatory
  • app id <n>: multiple/more app IDs to grab the data for
  • -shots: download some additional screenshots for the app/game
  • -thumbs: download some additional thumbnails for the app/game

  • -name: output the data in a folder with the name of the app/game, illegal characters are removed
  • -cdx: generate .ini file to be used by CODEX emu, this is quite outdated and needs manual editiong
  • -aw: generate all schemas for Achievement Watcher by xan105: https://github.com/xan105/Achievement-Watcher
  • -clean: attempt to cleanup/remove the output folder from previous runs, if it exists, before downloading the data again
  • -anon: use anonymous account to login to Steam instead of using your own,
    note that this account has very limited access to data, and it can't download most info
  • -nd: don't generate disable_xxx.txt files
