I wrote a little essay a few ago about pirating games on SteamDeck, I am not sur it is allowed here. I didn't saw any rules against. If it is feel free to pm me I will remove my post. Hope this help other with low budget.

No need get window. You need somes tools though.

From the stock app market (called discover) :

  • Transmission
  • Lutris
  • ProtonUp-QT to install ProtonGE

From GitHub:

  • Decky (and the addon SteamGridDB)

On desktop mode.

I download my games as torrent from dodirepack or fitgirl with the software transmission(from stock appshop).

Once I have a game I use Lutris(from stock appshop) to execute the installer. Install games on :Z Wich is the steals file system.

Then I add the game to steam on desktop mode.

I set the compatibility in the game options mode on proton or protonGE.

And I rename the game to their steamid to be able to search for contrôler config. (Find steam game I'd on the site SteamDB)

In game mode

I then setup images for the games with the addon SteamGridDB installed from Decky (and addon loader for steamdeck)

If I have trouble running game I use protonGE which I installed with ProtonUp-QT (from stock appshop)

I’m just scrolling my “all” federated timeline and I see your post like 5 times.

Ha does it mean I am a star now ? yeah I tried to cross post I may have made some mistake... This fediverse is pretty new for me.

Thanks, this info is invaluable. I have heard of Fitgirl before but Dodirepack is new to me.

What sorts of games have you been playing?

[–] Diurnambule 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Story driven games. Likes uncharted, ForSpoken recently. I enjoyed mad max a lot. Mostly non fps ones. I am still too used to the mouse to aim. I have horizon in my Todo list. I pl What do you play ?

[–] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pathologic 2 at the moment. It's getting kinda hard and I'm not saving many people... Taking a break from it while I muster up some more courage. I haven't felt too attached to characters in a game like this since like Mass Effect 2 or like one of those newer cRPG games.

I also stream Elden Ring from my PC, I did a strength build before and then a mage build, trying dex this time around.

[–] Diurnambule 2 points 1 year ago

Hum will try pathologic 2 seem a o great game. I really enjoyed mass effect 2.. Never tried elder ring I don't like dark souls like games. I may made an error by thinking that it a dark souls like game.
