If it is possible to do it with Steam Goldberg, a fork of the previously mentioned program, Greenluma, a fork of the previously mentioned and/or any other software,, whether one or several; someone and/or some people explain how in a way someone without computer knowledge can understand it?

Yeah, you're correct the otavepo repo is gone, almost certainly because it is literally illegal software.

Generally speaking, you can't host hacking tools that specifically compromise proprietary software on github.

(EDIT: For clarity, SteamOS may be open source, Proton may be open source... but Steam itself? Hahahahah, no.)

Anyway, yeah, the given instructions simply are impossible to follow, you're not crazy.

You would have to somehow find this otavepo software elsewhere, if it exists elsewhere.

However, the main page of this also says it works with gbe_fork by DetanUp01, and that seems to be right here:

https://github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork

... This main page of the Goldberg repo also says that the author is not responsible for anything bad that happens to your Steam account while using all this software.

... because this is indeed the kind of thing that could get your Steam Account totally banned, and could also potentially get you hardware banned.

You almost certainly do not want to use this.

Is... some Steam Achievements for a game you torrented... really worth potentially getting permabanned from Steam?

they are not impossible to follow, as using gbe_fork is only one of two provided options

The instructions on the exact page that were linked are not followable.

The readme.md or whatever the hell its called needs to be updated.

You have the main page saying 'at this step, you can do one of two things'.

The other page says 'you must only do one of those things.'

These are poorly written instructions.

Further... you have to use a gbe_fork.

Either the one from otavepo, or the one from detanup1.

Both of those are gbe_forks.

.... Is this your thing?

You are here displaying literacy levels on par with the author of the poorly worded github page in questiom.

You have the main page saying ‘at this step, you can do one of two things’. The other page says ‘you must only do one of those things.’

Whats wrong with that? You can do either gbr_fork or GreenLuma, not both at the same time.

Is this your thing? no, just pointing OP to a helpful resource

I don't appreciate the personal attack
