shapez.io VS goldberg_emulator

You can pay for FOSS software. I do it to support FOSS developers and maintainers.

software example: Krita https://store.steampowered.com/app/280680/Krita/ source code https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita

game example: Shapez https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318690/shapez/ https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io

Shapez.io is sold Steam but the source code and build instructions are on github: https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io

It's been free on github the whole time 😝

It's free on github too :P

apparently the instructions from github are outdated or something

I have experience in releasing an Capture Note made with Electron and there are some annoying processes, but it is possible without as much difficulty as I thought. From what I know, there are also games that have been released. Try looking for "Danger Crew" or Shapez. Shapez is open source, so it may be more helpful.

It's possible that this is a bug in how I've built the local version, or that the local version is only a demo. So I have filed https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io/issues/1500 to see if that's the case.

Pretty sure shapez.io is an Electron app, and that's on Steam.

Hmm, like Thrive and Shapez.io?

For a lot of games you can simply copy out of Steamapps/common and run the exe and it'll run like a standalone copy.

For games that use steam features, you can drop in a steam emulator[0] to shim the API calls. I use this for when I want to run multiple versions of the base game with different mods.

Typically this works fine as long as there's no real Drm/anticheat (which is common in multi player games but rare for single player).

So this should allow you to clone parts of your library for your son to play (as well as consolidate your many accounts).

Goldberg steam emu

I highly recommend you go to https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator to find more information.

I tried to use Goldberg Emulator and I can't enable the overlay for it. How do I turn on the steam overlay because otherwise I won't be able to invite my friend?

What do you mean?

Why do you think you can't find Goldberg Steam emulator on Steam/Xbox/Playstation/Switch? (https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator)

Hint: it's used to play games without Steam DRM :)

Do you say that Valve's been a bully for years as well for trying to block Goldberg from Steam?

You would do the same if people made it easy to illegally distribute and use your products for free

And Nintendo is forced to do something to protect 3rd party studios/publishers as well

Any VPN will do (I used to use NeoRouter back in the day, but now I use OpenVPN to my cloud server or my home router), and you may be able to get some traction with Steam releases using Goldberg. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator

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.

No clue, I'm using the Goldberg Steam Emulator. If you're asking what the Steam Emulator does, it allows the game to run without Steam installed, usually replaces the original steam(_api64/_api/client/client64).dll(s).

I have no idea about cracking games but try Goldberg Emulator. I use it for pirating DLCs but I think you can use it too. Also, its easy to use.

Hmm. I have a question. Would this work if the game had used say... the goldberg emulator for the steam drm bypass?
