====Goldberg Steam Emulator====
An emulator that supports LAN multiplayer without steam.
How to use: Replace the steam_api(64).dll (libsteam_api.so on linux) from the game
with mine. (For linux make sure to use the right build).
Put a steam_appid.txt file that contains the appid of the game right beside it if
there isn't one already.
If your game has an original steam_api(64).dll older than may 2016 (Properties-
>Digital Signatures->Timestamp) you might have to add a steam_interfaces.txt beside
my emulator library if the game isn't working.
This file contains interface versions, an example (for resident evil 5) is
provided. To get those you can just get a hex editor and search for them (Search
for the string: SteamUser0) in the original steam_api dll (or libsteam_api.so on
linux) or look in the ini of a crack that works on that game.
If the game has DRM (other than steamworks) you need to remove/crack it first.
Default save location: C:\Users\<Your windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg
SteamEmu Saves\
For linux: $HOME/Goldberg SteamEmu Saves/
In the settings folder in that save location you will find 3 files (if you have
used the emulator at least once):
account_name.txt (Edit this file to change your name)
listen_port.txt (Edit this file if you want to change the UDP/TCP port the emulator
listens on (You should probably not change this because everyone needs to use the
same port or you won't find yourselves on the network))
user_steam_id.txt (this is where your steam id is saved, you can change it (if your
saves for a game are locked to a specific steam id for example) but it has to be
valid)
language.txt (Edit this to change the language the emulator will report to the
game, default is english, it must be a valid steam language name or the game might
have weird behaviour (list provided at the end of this readme))
Note that these are global so you won't have to change them for each game. For game
unique stuff (stats and remote storage) a folder is created with the appid of the
game.
If for some reason you want it to save in the game directory you can create a file
named local_save.txt right beside steam_api(64).dll (libsteam_api.so on linux)
The only thing that file should contain is the name of the save directory. This can
be useful if you want to use different global settings like a different account
name or steam id for a particular game.
Note that this save directory will be beside where the emu dll (or .so) is which
may not be the same as the game path.
Notes:
You must all be on the same LAN for it to work. This is an early work so a lot of
games will likely not work.
