Getting started
From the project's README ("Quick start"):
- Get the offline installers from your GOG library (the setup….exe files). They're only read, never run.
- Start gobnative (see below). The library opens; click a game and choose its installer, or drop the .exe onto the window.
- Press in the game for the overlay.
macOS (build from source; needs CMake and SDL2, e.g. brew install cmake sdl2):
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build -j open build/Gobnative.app
(build/Gobnative.app is the app with its icon; drag it to Applications if you like. build/gobnative is the same program for the command line.)
Windows 10/11: download the gobnative-windows-x64 zip from the latest CI run (Actions → Build → Artifacts), unpack it and run gobnative.exe. Or build it with Visual Studio or MinGW-w64; see the user guide.
Web: play it at games.encrypted-cat.com/other-projects/gobnative, with your own installers (they stay in your browser). Or build it with the Emscripten SDK and serve the folder locally:
scripts/build-web.sh --serve 8080
Then open http://localhost:8080/. The installers are unpacked inside the page and kept in the browser's storage; nothing is uploaded.
LG webOS TV (a rooted TV with the Homebrew Channel; Developer Mode should work the same way, but hasn't been tried):
- Download io.github.initcore0.gobnative….ipk from the latest release (or the gobnative-webos artifact of the latest CI run) and install it, for example with the webOS CLI's ares-install. The user guide shows other ways. …
