GOG Dolphin

This is an integration for GOG Galaxy using the public api. This codebase supports both Gamecube and Wii games, but through two copies (as GOG requires one platform per integration).

Current Features

• Import Gamecube and Wii games easily into GOG Galaxy
• File names don't matter as the plugin will read the file directly to determine the ID
• Integration walks user through setting paths to dolphin and games on first connect
• Single code-base for both Gamecube and Wii simplifies updates and maintainability

Installation

Either clone and generate the plugins via python3 generate_plugins.py or download from the releases page. Place the two plugin folders into the correct location for GOG.

Windows: %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/GOG.com/Galaxy/plugins/installed

Restart GOG, Go to Settings -> Integrations. Click connect for each platform and follow the instructions presented in the window.

Manual Config

If manual configuration is needed, this can be done by editing user_config.json.

TODO / Planned Features

This project early on and subject to change. These are the main things that are planned to be worked on:

• Allow custom configuration via a json file. Most notably, the ability to have duplicate copies of a game, but with different instances of dolphin (e.g. for netplay). This doesn't seem possible since IDs GOG doesn't recognize will be marked as spam and hidden.
• Add playtime tracking. Likely through Galaxy-Utils or a tweaked version of it.
• Ensure that functions for the GOG plugin are properly implemented. Specifically, handling tick updates, shutdowns, etc.
• Test on MacOS and ensure everything is working properly.
• Better handling of config file (file not existing, keys missing, etc.).
• Built in support for Project Slippi (this should utilize custom config, but could be streamlined).
• Don't hard-code GOG plugin (use pip to generate directories).
• Pass data to startup_config to be able to show slippi just for gamecube and show example paths for user OS.

Notes

Checking GoG database for game

Look at json response for following URL. Specifically if type is spam, the game won't show.

https://gamesdb.gog.com/platforms/<PLATFORM>/external_releases/<GAMEID>

Where platform is nwii or ncube and gameid is what is listed in Dolphin
