I don't know where to get the steam_emu.ini for my game since for some reason it doesn't install it on its own (in this case Spyro and Man of Medan). I've tried to manually put another game's steam_emu.ini and change the values of the game ID to match the ones I'm trying to launch but the only thing it does is making it 'launch forever' and never really launch, it just keeps trying indefinitely.

I previously had older version of elden ring (I think it was 1.02 not really sure) in my pc for a while but i deleted it later. Then i installed it recenty, a newer version, and after installation when condition of files are being checked it showed that steam_emu.ini file is corrupted. But when I tried launching the game the game launched without an issue and even all save files were loaded fine.
So I am curious about what does this steam_emu.ini file does and what kind of trouble should i expect in the future while playing the game. Can anyone help figure this out? If there will be any issues how can I deal with them??
As steam extends itself more and more and game creators use Steam as a publishing platform, local LAN support has become a rare breed amongst games. Furthermore, the games that are published through Steam tend to have a crippled LAN subsystem: even though the game features a local LAN mode, it is impossible to play the game without having an Internet connection because the game is rigged to refuse to work without having a connection to Steam. For instance, a game such as "Dead Island", when launched in LAN networking mode, will simply refuse to see any other games on the local network if the game cannot contact Steam - the game will not even announce or tell the user that it cannot find any local games because it cannot contact steam, leaving the user totally oblivious to why the game does not work as described.
If a game is pirated, then the cracked files must be copied over but steam_api.dll, steam_api64.dll and steam_appid.txt must be originals. The reason for that is that games might include copy protection in the offline binaries themselves which is removed by the cracker group however, SmartSteamEmu requires the original non-cracked DLL files in order to be able to intercept the calls to Steam.
With that in mind, most game repacks offer the ability to install either the original version, or the cracked version or allow you to overwrite some files yourself. In such cases, go for the cracked version but extract the original steam_api.dll from the original version somehow. For instance, install the original version, backup steam_api.dll and steam_appid.txt, uninstall the game, install the cracked version and overwrite with the backed up steam_api.dll, steam_api64.dll and steam_appid.txt.
The main reason for this type of errors is that steam games are usually installed within the user profile where the user obviously has permissions to write however repack games tend to install to system folder (ie, Dead Island installing in C:\Games).
If the original steam DLLs and the file steam_appid.txt is not in the launch directory then the application may complain about a missing App ID. In such cases, make sure that you have the original steam DLL files!
For builds after v4554 SmartSteamEmu or Goldberg work. If using Goldberg on Windows XP then you'll need to modify it's steamapi.dll to point to ws2_32.dll renamed to ws2_xp.dll from xompie since Goldberg doesn't work on XP.
Try adding the -steam switch and it should tell you what GCF it is trying to access.
If a GCF is missing then if you are using steamemu then verify that the GCF is enabled in the .ini and that the GCF is in the correct location.
The way the steam emulators work is by implementing the Steam functionality seperate of Steam so valve wouldn't be able to ban someone who used those since there is no connection to Steam.
I supposed if Valve performed an inventory and banned anyone who had a Steam emulator on their hard drive then that may be something but the bad press from that wouldn't be worth it.
There are some utilities people use that work while Steam is loaded to unlock DLC for games that haven't been cracked or for multiplayer and those potentially could result in bans but there's really no sense in using those since the steam emulators work for multiplayer (without steam) among those who use them and the steam emulators also unlock DLC as well.
Ok, this has now got me quite excited. Being able to stream PS4 / PS5 games to a steam deck looks very straightforward. The only bit that looks like a bit of a hassle is getting hold of your PS ID number. I do occasionally use the official PS remote play app to stream to my iMac or iPad, but to be able to play on the steam deck is just a whole other level of convenience!
