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.
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.
