Contribution

If you want to edit the list, make a fork on GitHub, make your changes and then make a pull request through GitHub. Describe your changes and be thorough! Follow the format, cite the sources, etc.

When editing the GAMES.json file, remember to follow the format with tabs as indentation, and not spaces. Keep in mind that the list should be sorted numerically.

To set a game as working, you need to add the app number in quotes, and set it to true. This is the number you’ll see in URLs when browsing the Steam Store. http://store.steampowered.com/app/40/ would be app 40. You would add "40": true, on a new line.

Example

{
	"20": true,
	"30": true,
	"400": true,
	"420": true
}

You can add extra information to a game entry with the tags below:

• "Hidden": true for betas and game servers that clutter up the list to hide them.
• "Beta": true for games that have open beta that can be opted‐in via beta branch in game properties. If the beta password is public, you may add that in a Comment.

If you want to add a comment about additional issues, there are 2 more tags you can use:

• "Comment": "Only 64-bit Launch Config."
• "CommentURL": "https://google.com/" - not required if there is no source URL.

Examples

	"57640":
	{
		"Comment": "Steamworks features are unavailable."
	},

	"15400":
	{
		"Comment": "May require a workaround to launch without getting stuck in a loop.",
		"CommentURL": "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Game-specific_troubleshooting#Harvest:_Massive_Encounter"
	},

Also make sure that the edited file validates on JSONlint.com before submitting your patch.
