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.
