Move from Lutris

Irori reads your Lutris library without changing anything in it, so you can try Irori and keep Lutris as it is.

What comes along

• Windows and Linux games become added games in Irori, with their Wine prefix, Wine build, arguments and environment variables.
• Emulated games join Irori’s ROM library, with the emulator they used.
• Steam and store games are matched to the same games in Irori’s stores by their ids.
• Your favourites, categories and playtime.

Lutris’s database is opened read-only, and nothing is written in Lutris’s folders. Every game that isn’t imported comes back with the reason, for example a Wine build Irori couldn’t match by name, so you know what to look at.

Import from the first start, or from a terminal

When Irori finds Lutris, onboarding asks Coming from Lutris? Choose Import from Lutris, then Show details to see what came across. From a terminal:

irori import-lutris

Lutris install scripts still work

Irori runs lutris.net install scripts too. Choose Add game › Install with a Lutris script…, use the command palette, or open an irori://lutris/<slug> link (Lutris’s own lutris:<slug> works as an argument too). Before anything runs, Irori shows every download, every write outside the game folder, the programs it will start and any shell command exactly as the script wrote it, and asks you to approve them. A script with a command Irori doesn’t understand is refused instead of half-run.

Scripts that would install the Epic Games Launcher, the EA app or Ubisoft Connect in Wine are declined in favour of Irori’s own support, and GOG, Amazon and ZOOM scripts point you to the store in Irori.
