If it is possible to do it with Steam Goldberg, a fork of the previously mentioned program, Greenluma, a fork of the previously mentioned and/or any other software, whether one or several; someone and/or some people explain how in a way someone without computer knowledge can understand it?

    Wait what, wtf is this thing?

    It emulates/fakes you owning a game, but not in the sense of actually owning a game, it just… allows you to collect Steam Achievements… as if you do own the game?

    This seems like the kinda thing where if you get caught, instant total Steam account ban.

    EDIT:

    Entirely seriously, it would make more sense to just use the Steam Family share system, just find a Steam oriented lemmy comm and propose making some kind of small game sharing group.

    All you’d have to figurr out is who gets to be ‘Mom’ and set the rules… but other than that, if you have access to a game via a family share?

    And you get achievements?

    Those are real, they stick, and you i think even get cards or gems or what not for playing the legitimately shared game.

    You just have to be able handling sharing, lol.

      Yeah, you’re correct the otavepo repo is gone, almost certainly because it is literally illegal software.

      Generally speaking, you can’t host hacking tools that specifically compromise proprietary software on github.

      (EDIT: For clarity, SteamOS may be open source, Proton may be open source… but Steam itself? Hahahahah, no.)

      Anyway, yeah, the given instructions simply are impossible to follow, you’re not crazy.

      You would have to somehow find this otavepo software elsewhere, if it exists elsewhere.

      However, the main page of this also says it works with gbe_fork by DetanUp01, and that seems to be right here:

      https://github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork

      … This main page of the Goldberg repo also says that the author is not responsible for anything bad that happens to your Steam account while using all this software.

      … because this is indeed the kind of thing that could get your Steam Account totally banned, and could also potentially get you hardware banned.

      You almost certainly do not want to use this.

      Is… some Steam Achievements for a game you torrented… really worth potentially getting permabanned from Steam?
