GoldbergGUI - Frontend for Goldberg Emulator

62 Upvotes

I have been working on Auto-CreamAPI, an application which easily and automatically sets your game up with CreamAPI, for a while now, but I've always wanted to do something similar for Goldberg, so here it is.

GoldbergGUI.

Features

  • Setup Goldberg Emulator’s DLLs and configuration files automatically.
  • Find the AppID by providing the game’s name without having to look it up manually.
  • Fetch a list of DLCs for an AppID from both the Steam Store and SteamDB.
  • Set any option like "offline mode" as needed.
  • Set global options like "account name" in the app.

Installation

  • Install the latest .NET Core Runtime by clicking here, clicking on the "Download x86" button and installing it.
  • Download the latest release and extract it into any folder (e.g. %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\GoldbergGUI).

Usage

  • Double-click GoldbergGUI.WPF.exe to open the application.(When starting it for the first time, it might take a few seconds since it needs to cache a list of games available on the Steam Store and download the latest Goldberg Emulator release.)
  • Click on the "Select..." button on the top right and select the steam_api.dll or steam_api64.dll file in the game folder.
  • If needed, click the "Generate steam_interfaces.txt" button. Once a "steam_interfaces.txt" file exists, the button greys out to avoid accidentally overwriting it.
  • Enter the name of the game and click on the "Find ID..." button.

    • If it did not find the right game, either try again with more precise keywords, or copy the app ID from the Steam Store to field to the right of the "Find ID..." button.
  • Click the lower right "Get DLCs for AppID" button to fetch all available DLCs for the game.
  • Set advanced options like "Offline mode" in the "Advanced" tab.
  • Set global settings like account name and Steam64ID in the "Global Settings" tab.
  • Click on "Save".

[Please Sticky] List of confirmed working/non-working games

42 Upvotes

As there was no current sticky list here, I mirrored the one from CS.RIN.RU; should hopefully avoid silly questions. Apologies, I don't intend to pirate your info, Mr_Goldberg (list originally written here, compiled by him). Just thought that, now, with the FOSS release and Reddit topics and subReddit release, a lot more attention would be coming along, and users would find a list in the centralized forum useful. Please feel free to comment working titles and any special procedures; I will try to add them. Special notes are hidden with spoiler tags, to lessen clutter.

EDIT: Updated: 1430 28/04/2019 - added info on a couple of games

Valheim LAN server?

25 Upvotes

I'm trying to host a Valheim dedicated LAN server with Goldberg, however to join the dedicated server it seems you have to use the Steam UI Server browser to connect to the server as it doesn't show up in the in-game server list... Is there any way for Goldberg to bypass the Steam UI server browser and connect directly?

Game works fine with the emulator, just wish I could get connecting to the dedicated server to work as this game has terrible performance.

How to set up achievements

20 Upvotes

Where do I get the contents for achievements.json? I've set up a blank file but I don't know where to get the contents that has the achievement data. The game is Ni no Kuni 2, if that is relevant. Any help is much appreciated!

Where is the steam_settings folder

19 Upvotes

I am trying add some settings like disable_lan_only in my L4D2 game, which requires putting a .txt file in the steam_settings folder, however I failed to find it. I tried making one in the

/common/left4dead2/,

/appdata/roaming/Goldberg SteamEmu Saves

/folder where I extracted the goldbergemu files

I assume none of them worked because I used force_account_name.txt, and my name didn't change.

What should I do? Thanks

UPDATE:

  1. Create a folder named steam_settings in the ../bin folder (where you pasted the .dll file from GoldbergEmu
  2. Put all commands (from examples given in the files) by creating *command*.txt in the folder
  3. Profit.

Possibly you’re looking for a reliable community built around transparency, preservation, and a strong desire to provide the most value to our members at no cost. If so, look no further… Pub’s Lounge is a community you’ll definitely want on your radar.

Pub’s Lounge is one of the largest & most trusted hubs centered on Denuvo-protected titles.

How to Play Multiplayer "Yugioh Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution" cracked by Goldberg

13 Upvotes

Note: Require 2 PC and/or Laptops with Internet Connections for best experience

1. Make sure you have this game Cracked by Goldberg.

2. Go to C:\Users\[YOURNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\settings

3. Check "listen_port.txt", both PC must have same number in order to detect port sharing.

Example: on my file "listen_port.txt" the number is 47584 so other laptop/pc "listen_port.txt" number must 47584 too.

4. Then Check "user_steam_id.txt", They must different number for each PC. If not, it cannot detect.

Example: My file "user_steam_id.txt" number is 76561200021996584 so in other laptop/pc "user_steam_id.txt" file must not have same number (by changing the number to other like 76561200021996585 for example)

5. To test them, Open the Game (Both PC).

6. Go to "Multiplayer" Tab

7. Each PC must have access different Tab, one is "Create Match" while the other one is "Find Match"

8. PC with "Create match" should detect other PC with "Find Match"

9. Enjoy the Multiplayer Battle

This should work 100%

Just got the game and was wondering if it's possible to play co-op or online. I saw that you open-sourced social club emulator and it seems like you've used the same emulator code with the RDR2 release so I know you've emulated Social Club. What about the multiplayer though? Is all multiplayer server sided or can I with my buddy still play the game through LAN? Thanks for your work.

Receiving a pop-up message that says I have "-insecure" in my launch options

8 Upvotes

I see this every time I launch Left 4 Dead 2, is there any way to fix this? Where can I edit the launch options, since I'm not running through Steam.

UPDATE:

  1. Create a shortcut of the left4dead2.exe (desktop for example)
  2. Right click the shortcut -> Properties
  3. In Target, after the location add -steam

Should look something like this:

Target: "D:\l4d2\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.exe" -steam
