The launcher automatically handles DLL injection by copying the correct files into your game directory.
- Smart DLL Management — Detects and removes existing DLLs before injection
- Clean Injection — Copies fresh DLLs from the source folder
- Source Preservation — Original DLLs remain untouched for future use
- Mode Switching — Toggle between offline and GOG modes anytime
- 🗂 The launcher saves your game path in
launcher_config.txt - ✍ DLL injection requires write permissions to your game folder
- 📌 Make sure the
GOGEmuDLLandOriginalGOGDLLfolders contain the correct DLL files - 📏 Small application window for an optimal minimal UI
