minigalaxy VS gogrepo

Personally I use mini galaxy. https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/

Minigalaxy is great for native apps. Lutris is hit or miss for wine/DVXK.

E.g. Minigalaxy offers many of GoG Galaxys features (Tagging /u/anevilduck here in case he doesn't know it) and only has around 13500 lines of Code.

The official client isn't, but there is a 3rd party one available for Linux https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy

So long as you have a Vulkan capable GPU, you should be able to get almost all GOG games working. You could use Lutris with GOG Galaxy, Lutris with GOG offline installers or MiniGalaxy.

HeroicGamesLauncher / MiniGalaxy: Launcher alternative for the EpicGamesLauncher / GoG.

Besides there are other projects like https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy that has some of their coding from PlayNite and of their own to work on Linux and there are Tutorials like https://playnite.link/forum/thread-1156.html to make it work nonetheless. Also thanks to Steam's Proton layering, everything is easier at Linux gaming side.

I like and use https://github.com/eddie3/gogrepo

To be clear, I have purchased and run many linux games on gog.

(that said, I don't use galaxy, I've been using https://github.com/eddie3/gogrepo for updates)

Hello, I just installed RetroNAS mainly because I wanted to use the gogrepo tool. While the installation all went well, the gogrepo tool is still having this issue, which I thought was fixed in a fork. When I launch the tool, I get the warning that says this is a known issue, but searching online, it seems like saurik made a fork of the gogrepo to address this specific issue. However, when I try to download the games, only the extras are being downloaded. Am I doing something wrong here?

I really wish that GOG would provide MD5 files to verify offline downloads. That has been on the wishlist for some time but never implemented. This Python script gogrepo is supposed to let you download and verify offline files including MD5 but I haven't used it. In the wishlist link there is also a user script for getting it.

If you want to download all one thousand at once, gogrepo is your friend but I have no personal experience with it.

I just use gogrepo.py.

What I have found that works best is using the gogrepo python script. It can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS using Python. The script is pretty simple, you login once via command (documented on the github README) and then you can download your entire GOG library including extras and other platforms. All the files will be the offline installers that you get from the website.

I use GOGRepo, which is Python-based and Cross-Platform.
