Configuration

Choosing method

Decide whether to use the local PCSX2 database (default), the Giant Bomb API (requires an account) or reading your iso files directly for pulling ids and game names

Local PCSX2 database

1. Name all your files exactly as they are in the database
2. If the name of the game has a ":" simply leave it out of your file name

Giant Bomb database

1. When you have an account go here: https://www.giantbomb.com/api/
2. Set your API key at the authentication prompt when you connect the plugin (don't share this key with anyone)

Game specific settings

1. Create a folder named "configs" inside "Documents/PCSX2" (the folder containing your bios, savestates etc.).
2. Set the path to that folder at the authentication prompt and enable the feature by ticking per-game config
3. To create settings for a game, copy the "inis" or "inis_1.4.0" folder into the "configs" folder and rename it to match the rom. Make sure that the renamed folders have the same name as the corresponding rom without the extension. e.g. ROM: "Shadow of the Colossus.iso" | FOLDER: "Shadow of the Colossus" Without a specific config folder for a game, the default settings will be used.

Note: if you wish for PCSX2 to perform a full boot when launching a game, simply place an empty file named "fullboot.ini" in the game's config folder. You can use default settings for this game otherwise by simply not placing any other ini files in the config folder.

Manual game time editing

Adding game time manually is supported through editing the game times file

1. Open your installation folder after connecting the plugin and your games are added
2. Open the game times file, find the name of the game you want to edit and change the field time_played to what you want (in minutes)

Note: The plugin tracks the PCSX2 process that is launched when you click on "play", so only launch your roms from within Galaxy. Starting a game and then choosing another rom from within PCSX2 itself will continue tracking game time for the first game.
