https://github.com/shawngmc/game-extraction-toolbox
Requires Python. Currently doesn't work with the latest Python, 3.12 or something--have to use 3.11.x.
I keep getting it confused with some other thing that required WSL. game-extraction-toolbox does NOT require WSL and does NOT run through WSL--which I keep forgetting and trying to do. : PPP
Hey dumb me: just have Python installed correctly
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/install-python-windows-10
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
ie Admin and PATH set and stuff at install (again, the latest 3.12.0 is I think not compatible)
and run the commands listed on the game-extraction-toolbox GitHub from the Windows CMD prompt to install the rest. They are currently:
py -m pip install --user pipx
py -m pipx ensurepath
Then, still from the Windows CMD, do
gextoolbox tasks list
to get the task name needed for whatever you've installed and want to extract from Steam, then
gextoolbox tasks extract --task TASKNAME --destdir ./
and that will drop the extracted ROM(s) in the directory you're in in the CMD. |
