A game launcher that "just works". It aims to setup your pre-installed game easier.
To add game, simply run $ shin add <path to game>. You will be prompted to enter the game ID and the game name.
To run the game, run $ shin run <game id> [ARGUMENTS] and the game should start shortly. [ARGUMENTS] is optional but it is recommended to use it as it may improve your game performance.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hithere-at/shin/master/shin
chmod +x shin
sudo mv shin /usr/local/binWhen you are using the run command, you can use the provided arguments to tune the game to your liking (e.g run on discrete GPU). Run $ shin help for details,
You can configure your game manually by editing the file located at ~/.local/share/shin/mess.vars.
I have been using a specific game launcher and evertime i try to setup my games, it usually doesnt end up well. Some game have a weird GLX error and some game doesnt have DXVK installed even though i have turned on the option. This project wouldnt exist if its not because of my frustration.
