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] ...

Available [options]

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


Login:

You'll be asked each time to enter your username and password, but you can automate this prompt.

  • You can create 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.

  • You can define these environment variables, note that these environment variables will override the file my_login.txt:

    • GSE_CFG_USERNAME
    • GSE_CFG_PASSWORD

    When defining these environment variables in a script, take care of special characters.

    Example for Windows:

    set GSE_CFG_USERNAME=my_username
    set GSE_CFG_PASSWORD=123 abc
    generate_emu_config.exe 480
    

    Example for Linux:

    export GSE_CFG_USERNAME=my_username
    export GSE_CFG_PASSWORD=123 abc
    ./generate_emu_config 480
    

Downloading data for new apps/games and defining extra account IDs:

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.
