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)

        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.

          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.
