This is an issue on the gog database side. The platform name is sent when it pulls metadata, so for whatever reason their database is matching "N64_Castlevania" to "NES_Castlevania" erroneously.jshackles I have another problem that I don't know how to solve, games of different systems but with the same name, like Castlevania for NES and N64 (they both are Castlevania in GOG database), when I add the N64 version it chooses the metadata for the NES version, is there a way to GOG search the metadata by platform?
Make sure RetroArch is set to save play time in aggregate, like so from the Settings -> Saving menu:I've installed retrogog but gog galaxy 2.0 doesn't track time of any of my retroarch games.
Is there any way to do it?
It's working now! Thanks!Make sure RetroArch is set to save play time in aggregate, like so from the Settings -> Saving menu:
Retroarch and gog are installed in the default locations.
The app seems to find then and then continue with the install.
Just nothing shows in gog.
The only no default location is the ROMs which are on a network share.
There is a pull request on Github that fixes this issue, I'm evaluating it but it looks like it would fix your problem. Stay tuned.hmmm it looks like your app doesn't check the registry for the two applications and their install paths. Both of mine are not in the default location and it doesn't allow me to tell it where the galaxy client is located.
Will be staying tuned!!There is a pull request on Github that fixes this issue, I'm evaluating it but it looks like it would fix your problem. Stay tuned.
How many ROMs do you have importing? Are you doing multiple systems at once?Update on my last.
Games have started importing randomly now.
None of them have a launch option though.
They all have a greyed out install button that says incompatible when hovered over.
Any thoughts on this?
I somewhat halted working on the project until I could iron out a few of the issues that unfortunately need GOG / CDPR intervention. Since it's been nearly a year and a half and they still haven't rolled out any changes to their back end that need to be done for me to properly implement achievement support, I'd say this project is on extended hiatus.
I had a feeling that was the case.I somewhat halted working on the project until I could iron out a few of the issues that unfortunately need GOG / CDPR intervention.

They have tickets open from early 2020 where they still haven't added platform support for GameBoy Color or GameBoy Advance. Galaxy only got 6 updates released in 2021, and 2 of those were hotfixes released on the same day as a different update because they broke functionality. Only two updates last year actually contained additional functionality and not just bugfixes. Their documentation for Galaxy plugins is pretty barebones and also hasn't been updated since it's released (maybe nothing's changed?)I had a feeling that was the case.
It's a bummer but understandable given the circumstances
Another good alternative that I use as well as gog galaxy (mainly because I was using it pre galaxy client) is launchboxIf you're considering an alternative, I've abandoned Galaxy and switched over to Playnite. It's much more lightweight than Galaxy 2.
Hey bud,jshackles Man you are awesome
RetroGoG it´s simply beautiful to watch when you have all those retro ROMs organized, but I have an issue...
When I loaded Retrogog it sync with all of a folder that I didn't want to have in GOG Galaxy (like 200),
It doesn't matter if I delete the game from the GOG folder or delete GOG completely it always shows those games. What can I do? I think those games are "saved" in GOG Cloud?
Thanks, dude but, HOW do I disconnect the plugin in GOG Galaxy and all the stuff that comes after? Sorry, I'm a little confused, I want to erase from my library all the games and start from zero. I have like 500 Japanese and small games that I don't care/want to be showed.Hey bud,
That depends, do you still want to use retrogog and remove these games or you want to remove all of the retrogog games?
If it's just these specific games, the way retrogog works is it reads in your retroarch playlist for that system. E.g. if it's a game listed in your snes games, it will pull up all of the games you have listed in snes games and try to find a match in igdb's games database (so if a game is detecting as unknown, look for it there first and rename to match.. or add the game if it's not listed). If you still want these games available in retroarch, you'll need to add a second playlist and dump them into that one so that retrogog doesn't read them in.
Another alternative would be to hide the games in gog galaxy but that's tedious and not the cleanest method.
If it's all games, you have to disconnect the plugin in gog galaxy, close gog galaxy and remove the plugin folder.
ok, I got you fam.Thanks, dude but, HOW do I disconnect the plugin in GOG Galaxy and all the stuff that comes after? Sorry, I'm a little confused, I want to erase from my library all the games and start from zero. I have like 500 Japanese and small games that I don't care/want to be showed.
Thanks! i'm gonna try it right now. Hope it helps.ok, I got you fam.
In gog, go to the cog in the top left menu --> settings
In settings, go to the integrations tab on the left-hand menu
find the plugin in the list of plugins on the right --> click the disconnect button
once the plugin is disconnected, close gog galaxy (make sure it's not running in the taskbar near your clock)
Now, open windows explorer (or windows key + r to open the run dialog) and browse to %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\
Find the plugin folder, delete it
Add a fresh copy of the plugin folder instead --> Add your configuration changes to point to your retroarch like you did last time
That last step might be different for you but only because I can't use the automagic installer
That should clear out the games from gog.
Because of your comment, i dove hard into the playnite-rabbithole, dammit XDIf you're considering an alternative, I've abandoned Galaxy and switched over to Playnite. It's much more lightweight than Galaxy 2.
