Support NeoGAF

[Boy Lag]

Im having problems with the snes plugin.
While it works great the first time. When closing galaxy and the relaunching.
The launcher gets stuck at a random percentage when importing.
Only way to fix it is to force close galaxy in task manager.
Havent tried the other ones yet seeing as I have mostly SNES set up right now.

Hey jshackles , appreciate as always the work you do. Issue I'm seeing is apostrophes preventing games from being discovered. Found the issue while wondering why the latter DKC games and Pugsley's Revenge weren't being added to GOG despite showing up in Retroarch's list. Changing the name of the files corrected the issue, but Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt can't show up via database without the apostrophe. Is that something that can be fixed easily in Python?

There is definitely something going on with games that have an apostrophe in their name, but I think this might be a bug with Galaxy itself. Everything on the plugin side appears to be working as intended and logs show that games with apostrophes (I used Atari 2600 Yar's Revenge in my testing, along with several others) are all importing correctly and being correctly added to the library like they're supposed to be.

I'll keep testing and see if there is anything else that can be done from the plugin, might have to put in a support request with the Galaxy developers though.

How many games do you have in your Retroarch library? Another user mentioned they were having this issue when they tried to use Galaxy to load several hundred games at once.

 

[Boy Lag]

Sorry for the late response. I was at aqua therapy.
I have a total of 803 snes games.

Are they communicating with you? (GOG, I mean).

 

[jshackles]

Added support for both Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS

Are they communicating with you? (GOG, I mean).

Yes but through the "Friends of Galaxy" contact who is passing all the information back and forth.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Can't wait to add my GOG games on this next week

 

[Yadorato]

Thanks a lot
jshackles , I was looking everywhere for this, but somehow it sin`t working for me. I Have complete US romsets for most of the systems, but as soon as I reset galaxy and connect each platform, it won`t show any of my roms. Any Idea how can I solve this ?

When games are added to GOG Galaxy, there is a pretty resource-intensive process that happens between the GOG client and the GOG back end servers. Essentially, your account is associated with every game that's been added and each game has it's metadata downloaded from GOG's DB server.

Because of this, I've been doing some testing and have found that adding about 50 games (or less) is currently the ideal way of using these integrations. Typically, adding more games than that can cause the GOG Galaxy 2.0 client to crash. So adding complete romsets to this, at least for the time being, is ill advised. Hopefully the Galaxy client and/or my plugins can be updated in the future to handle this process a bit more smoothly.

Hi Jshackles,

Love the plugins! Great work so far.

Just checking that my install is working correctly though, if a game doesn't exist within gog's list, what's meant to happen? The reason I ask, I've added ds, gb, ps1 and snes and the only one that's pulled in the full list of games is ps1.

Thanks!

Pete

I've seen that SNES using the bsnes core didn't import anything, but using the Snes9X core worked flawlessly. Any requirement from the core that the integration requires?

For example, RetroAchievements requires some memory APIs that are optional that the bsnes core also doesn't support.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is a godsend. I absolutely love it.

Thanks for the plugins

There aren't any specific core requirements, just be sure to update the user_config.py file to point to that core's DLL file. Also if the games aren't importing into GOG, first make sure that they are successfully importing into Retroarch.

 

[Boy Lag]

Im wondering if there is a way to recognize network drives?
The bulk of my games are on a Freenas enclosure.

Ive also been noticing that when you have a lot of games and the importing crashes the plugin.
That python scripts continue to run after I force close got galaxy.
After doing this everything runs fine on next start.
Hope that helps a bit.

Not sure why some are imported and other's aren't, only thing I can think of is that the games that aren't being picked up can't be linked to an entry in Gog's database because I haven't cleaned up the names yet.

Also, I noticed that Gog have a Commodore 64 entry, is this on the cards? That would be pretty cool

 

[petey212]

Just tested renaming and that's worked for some of them so I think I was right.

Only one I can't get to work now is Bionic Commando for Gameboy. The game doesn't exist according to Gog. I wonder what db they are using as their source?

Interesting findings, I'm going to dig into this a bit more. I have noticed an issue with parsing some games that have an apostrophe in the name (python doesn't like that they're not escaped) but that doesn't look to be the issue here exactly except for maybe Bowser's Inside Story. Your SNES game file it's probably hitting too many fuzzy results on a lot of those entries. "chrono" probably works because there are very few games that have that in the title besides Chrono Trigger. But GOG definitely isn't going to be able to database match "MARIO" to a particular games (Super Mario World? Mario Is Missing? Mario Paint?).

The database they're using according to my sources is a custom fork / API integration from

This looks fantastic....thanks for the next weekend project!

 

[JHorbach]

Hello jshackles I really liked your plugins, but for some reason the games don't show in GOG, the plugins connect normally, but nothing shows up (The consoles show in GOG but with no games), in the first I thought the problem was that my library has a lot of games, but after that I tested recreating a playlist of NES just with 3 Mario Games (they are all no-intro named and Retroarch recognize them just fine), and even this way no results, I suppose I did something wrong in the config file.

This is my config file for NES, the roms are in "D:/Emus/NES/" and the Retroarch .exe is in "D:/Retro/" the retroarch folders are default ones... In the NES rom folder there are only the three Mario roms and I deleted my old big playlist file in Retroarch and created another with just the three games to make sure. Doesn't work either. I don't know if I did something wrong, and a really appreciate if you could help me.

# Enter the path for your roms and RetroArch here. Be sure to add a "/" at the end of each path.
# example:
# emu_path = "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/RetroArch/

rom_path = "D:/Emus/NES/"
emu_path = "D:/Retro/"

# Enter your core DLL file here, be sure to include the file extension
# example:
# core = "mesen_libretro.dll"

core = "nestopia_libretro.dll"

 

[Artrios]

This is awesome! I have noticed though that when hovering over games their name appears outside of the name box

I'm Having the same problem, trying having the games in different locations does not appear to make a difference,

 

[VisualFidelity]

I just discovered GOG galaxy. I hated having 6 different apps to go to, to access my games. Now all in one place with a great interface, makes PC gaming more enjoyable. This retro support makes it even more awesome!

 

[jshackles]

This is something I've been working on:

The goal of the application will be to have an easy installation wizard for all of the various plugins. It will detect that you have GOG Galaxy 2 installed, and will search automatically for the default Retroarch installation. Once it finds your Retroarch install (either automatically in the default place, or by you specifying a path) it'll search your playlists to see which plugins you need then automatically download those plugins and configure them. It'll also check your Retroarch config to make sure you have play time tracking enabled. Once the wizard has stepped through everything, you'll be able to launch GOG Galaxy 2 and then "Connect" the plugins which will start loading up a list of your games.

The whole thing should be pretty slick when it's done. You'll even be able to run it multiple times (if needed) for example like if you add a new system to Retroarch and need the wizard to download and configure a new plugin. I'm trying to make it as "user friendly" as possible, to take out the need for downloading plugins with weird names, editing text files, or diving through your user profile. Of course, when I'm ready to release it I'll be doing so on Github and the source code will also be available.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Awesome!! If you need any help with testing I would be happy to lend my time! I have GoG on several machines here and could do a decent smoke test for ya if you ever need it.

Thanks for working on this!

Yeah that'd be helpful, thanks for the offer! For other apps like this I've wrote in the past, usually NeoGAF is my willing beta testers.

 

[petey212]

That app sounds awesome!

 

[jshackles]

I've added support for

PlayStation 2
TurboGrafx-16
3DO

to the plugin repository. I believe this is the last set of intersecting systems that are fully supported by Retroarch that are included in the GOG Galaxy API. The only other systems with GOG ids are NeoGeo, ColecoVision, ZX Spectrum, and Commodore 64. However, none of these system have database entries in Retroarch which means that playlists won't be automatically generated which means GOG can't pull API data for these systems.

Now that these have all been generated, I can include them easily with the install application I'm working on.

I just released version 0.3 of RetroGOG

GitHub - jshackles/RetroGOG: RetroArch integrations for GOG Galaxy 2.0

RetroArch integrations for GOG Galaxy 2.0. Contribute to jshackles/RetroGOG development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

• It is no longer necessary to specify ROM path in user_config.py file
• Application now supports all viable Retroarch playlist types which have a corresponding GOG Galaxy 2.0 platform id
• Preparations made for new configuration wizard

There are some pretty fundamental changes in this release to how RetroGOG handles rom files. This should allow the plugins to work with a lower memory footprint, and it also means you no longer have to have all of your rom files in the same folder per system, they could be literally from anywhere or a mix of folders.

"Preparations made for new configuration wizard" = the windows application I'm working on that is designed to be easy to get everything up and running. I've got it working now where it will automatically download plugins directly from the web (based on what systems you have in Retroarch) and configure them. It still needs a bit of work to tidy up before it's released in beta. Here are a few screenshots of the work-in-progress to keep you all held over until then!

These two screens (and the opening screen I shared before) are essentially the entirety of the program (there is one other "advanced" screen to select cores if multiple cores are installed per system).

In addition to that, I'm working on one other super-secret piece of the puzzle that should help bring the whole thing together beautifully. More info on that soon!

This is very much still a "work in progress" application, but the basic functionality was there so I thought it'd be good to at least get it out the door and working. I've got a lot of plans for the application itself moving forward, but that can be iterated in the future.

Would love to hear some feedback from users.

J JHorbach I think I found the issue. Try re-downloading the exe and seeing if the new version fixes this issue.

Sorry for the trouble!

 

[JHorbach]

It works now, but I have the same problem I did when I manually configured the plugins, no games are listed. I've tried a bunch os systems (NES, SNES, N64) my games are correctly named by No-Intro standards (you can see it on the playlist file I posted), unzipped, but it doesn't seems to work, I'm from Brazil, so my GOG is in Portuguese, maybe something isn't recognizing within GOG and the Roms, I really don't know what to do.

 

[jshackles]

Weird, that should definitely work with the playlist you posted. Once the plugin is connected in Galaxy (and with Galaxy still open), can you try deleting that playlist file and having Retroarch regenerate it?

What should happen is the games will get noted by Galaxy and be added to your library.

 

[JHorbach]

Thank you jshackles , it worked that way!
Edit: Majora's Mask wasn't detected, maybe it's the filename.

This plugin really is awesome! Thank you so much!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

Is it something in my end?

Great work jshackles .

This is just what I'm looking for. I see your list of future features includes GUI functionality.
Is that close to fruition? Or would I be better off firing up a Python editor and setting up manually?

Thanks!

The GUI application is available now (RetroGOG.exe on the Github repository) and it seems to work fairly well although I have a lot of features planned for it going forward. It's definitely the easiest way to set everything up at the moment.

 

[AntsaK2]

The RetroGOG installation / configuration wizard is now available in the Github repo

GitHub - jshackles/RetroGOG: RetroArch integrations for GOG Galaxy 2.0

RetroArch integrations for GOG Galaxy 2.0. Contribute to jshackles/RetroGOG development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

This is very much still a "work in progress" application, but the basic functionality was there so I thought it'd be good to at least get it out the door and working. I've got a lot of plans for the application itself moving forward, but that can be iterated in the future.

Would love to hear some feedback from users.

When I add games through your tool they won't anymore record playtime.

I had previously added games manually (without platforms) and thay recorded playtime just fine.

Do you have any idea what this could be?

Make sure that your Retroarch settings are such that it's saving the runtime log in aggregate. (Saving per core is optional but is ignored by RetroGOG).

Launching the game through GOG Galaxy should record play time automatically and immediately. Launching the game outside of GOG, it may take a bit (depending on how many games you have) to catch up.

Yes Sir, that was the issue. Thank you so much!

I also posted 4 messages above one problem with my GBA library not working with your installer. Do you have any ideas what could cause that?

Thanks for the reply.
I looked at your Github earlier and DL'd the .exe (I should have checked there before making this post).
It added the cores to GOG just fine but my playlists/Games aren't showing in GOG.
I deleted the integrations and re-ran your .exe but same result.
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem, this was the solution:

Weird, that should definitely work with the playlist you posted. Once the plugin is connected in Galaxy (and with Galaxy still open), can you try deleting that playlist file and having Retroarch regenerate it?

What should happen is the games will get noted by Galaxy and be added to your library.

Game Boy / Game Boy Color / Game Boy Advance is still a bit... tricky. GOG Galaxy's API only has a single entry ID ("gameboy") that all three of those plugins use and share. So obviously this can cause problems if you have multiple Game Boy systems installed or connected.

The error that you got though, it almost looks like you don't have the latest version of the exe. Can you try re-downloading from Github and see if that fixes the issue?

OK thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely be looking into this.
