----- This guide was made for Primarily Steam Deck users on SteamOS -----

This will work across Linux Distributions regardless § requires light Terminal usage.


Steam Deck / SteamOS

1. Steam

2. Desktop Mode

3. ProtonPlus - Custom Proton Manager[dl.flathub.org]

4. GE-Proton10-12: - The Script will automatically install this version -

......I'm debating this ↗️↗️↗️ - so for now just...

• Use ProtonPlus to install GE-Proton10-12

5. Protontricks: - Click for Installer -[dl.flathub.org]

6. Sh Script for Auto-Installation: - - Click for Script -[raw.githubusercontent.com]

(Right Click the Page & "Save as")

---

---

6(a) Save the Script(codec.sh) to..

Steam Deck:
Linux/Other:
$HOME - Assumes your home location regardless of (user)name, you can type this manually into the file browser and it will take you to /home/Username/Downloads.

---

7. Guide Requires Game to be installed on Internal Storage

- Estimated Guide Install: Average 2-6 minutes(+/-) | Hardware Dependent

---

Desktop Mode? - 1(a). You will need to know how to enter Desktop Mode & at the very least know how to open Steam & Use The File Explorer(Dolphin)

---

Why Internal Storage? 2(a) - It's not required, this is solely to streamline the tutorial and reduce how much I have to type I have to type. Adding an SD Card into the mix will add additional steps that may confuse some readers.. Follow-up at another time.

(Hang in There, inFantry-Chan!)

• Open Protontricks
  
  - Select Futamata Renai ----> Next Screen | Choose: "Select the Default Prefix"
  
  
  
  
• Select Change Settings
  
  
  
• Select "win11"
  
  
  (This is going to be REALLY fast, Proceed to the Next Step)

• Select Run a Commandline Shell (for debugging)
  
  
  
• Type the Following
  
  
  
  sh $HOME/Downloads/codec.sh wmp11
  
  (You will have to manually type this, copying & pasting isn't allowing in the debugging shell, so long as you place codec.sh in $HOME/Downloads it will recognize it.)
  
  Press "Enter" - and the script will get to work. - And just like that...
  
  

• Didn't take too long did it? - The OP plays at the end of Common 4
  
  
  This guide is in a semi-finished state, i'm debating enforcing initial-script installation, but other then that we're pretty much done.
  
  It took me 1min of work to find the fix & 2hrs(+/-) to write the guide so..
  
  
• if you found it helpful, it would be appreciated if you left a like on the guide.
  
  b-fission is the goat - Creator of codec.sh(The Script we're using for pre-packaging)
  
  There's another manual way to get the guide up & running without crediting others, but this was genuinely the path that saved me the most time(solution) & effort(Guide-Creation-Time).
