Intro
Welcome to my archives project where I gather anything me or my users find interesting and then by request I upload them for people to currently Gofile and Mocha then provide them through base64 links in discord and matrix channels, as well as provide support for people if they run into any issues. Everything is gathered and tested by myself.
The Vulpes Archives currently exists in my own discord as linked above, my own Matrix/Element server and the FCK_DRM discord.
README
Usage Guide
First Join the discord to access my content.
You will need some kind of KeePass client and an extraction tool, I recommend KeePassXC (https://keepassxc.org/) for the KeePass client and 7-zip (https://7-zip.org/) as the extractor.
Download the kdbx file from the archive-news channel, with that you can browse everything I have and access the passwords for everything I have. KeePass is a password manager and you can search it with the search bar at the top right, the search bar even accepts regex (regular expression) if you are feeling fancy. You can right click any entry and get the password from them via the context menu that appears. These passwords are to be used on the 7z files. (Note multi-part 7z files do not have a password on them. The file they combine back into will have a password corresponding to the keepass entry.)
(Filterable tags of format and genre are being worked on and will start appearing in V50. Notes sections are also being reworked for some entries)
The files themselves always and I mean always come as either a 7z archive or a multi-part 7z archive.
ALWAYS read the Notes section in the KeePass entries or the README file found inside every 7z archive.
Best Practices & Misc info
It's best to create a windows defender excluded folder where you plan to put games and applications to avoid complications over false positives. Not to worry all of my content has been sourced from FMHY.
If you are new to the scene and do not trust the above paragraph then stick to the GOG content from my archives and you will not have to change anything about your system. Those games are the same clean files as if you bought them from GOG.
Dependencies
Install everything below, it saves massive headaches from missing dependencies:
Visual C++ Redist - https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
DirectX End-User Runtime - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
Microsoft XNA Framework - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914
Restart your computer after these have been installed.
Misc info: Types of games
GOG, Repacks, Pre-installed, Emulated.
GOG: Simplest and easiest to use, official files with nothing tampered with, as if you owned the game.
Repacks: Generally I have 3, Dodi, Fitgirl and ElAmigos.
Dodi: Fast installer, will open the website upon completing the install.
Fitgirl: Good music, Slow installer, gives you options at the end.
ElAmigos: ISO based games, I usually just use 7-zip to extract the iso files and that works.
Pre-installed: These do not need any installation and run straight from the folder.
Emulated (console games): These are ROMs from various consoles, look for their respective emulators in my database and there are guide videos inside.
Run all games as administrator unless told otherwise to prevent permission issues when the games attempt to create and or load save files. (also fixes black screens in some games).
