Steamless VS desmume

I'm not gonna put the actual instructions for cracking here since that's already on the sites of the tools you'll be using. I will only link the tools here and the rest will be up to you. The main tools for cracking are going to be Steamless, and Goldberg emulator. These tools can be a bit tedious on their own but someone has graciously made an auto cracker that requires you to download the first 2 tools and then automates the process for you.

FWIW people don't need to install visual studio and build Steamless from source, they can just download the release of Steamless from https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases/latest

Steamless - for unpacking DOA6.exe.

If you wanna play those games you brought in steam you get yourself a steam emulator like goldberg's heres the link if you want to https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/ (Note:It only works if you have a game protected with steam's DRM and if it dosent work go get steamless by Atm0s https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases/tag/v3.1.0.3)

TH13 (Ten Desires) and onwards are all available on DLSite for digital purchase as well. Everything else before that up until PoFV are all on Steam. Everything before PoFV (excluding PC-98) are available for physical purchase through AKIBA-HOBBY. All aforementioned methods can be found on the wiki’s Purchasing Guide. You can also use Steamless (GitHub) to play any game on Steam you’ve purchased without DRM.

Well if u having trouble with the new ck and steam seems to be the culprit get Steamless, which cut ties with steam and makes ck standalone

A Steamless version of Skyrim is DRM-free, can roll back updates, and can be totally offline.

You can, if you strip the steam DRM off the game with steamless

Anything with an external launcher like Ubisoft Play or EA Origin have DRM checks. Steam has them as well to combat people selling accounts or piracy and requires that you be online every 2 weeks or so to play the game. Games that have no need for online and do not have an external launcher can be fixed by using Steamless to make a DRM free exe that can be run in offline mode. Having someone play on your pc and also play on your deck at same time without being kicked off of one of the games while BOTH being online works this way as well. This will not work with all games but if it only uses steam DRM and has no online features it will.

citra is for 3ds games. while it should be compatible with ds games since the physical consoles are, this isn't true of the emulators. http://desmume.org/ has what you need.

Did you get it from the project's GitHub or official website? The emulator is known, so unless you got it from an unknown source, it should be fine. If you're still worried, you can run a virus scan at any time. If you want to ask more about it, ask in more relevant subreddits, i.e. r/EmulationOnPC.

Are you using the latest stable build, 0.9.13? You can also try melonDS instead.

You should probably emulate the games, your 3DS is unlikely to be found Here is an Emulator r/roms is a good resource for ROMs
