I was thinking a program that would pull, create, and store all the shader cache of a game locally on the system.

    Magicland, I suppose. I guess it would need to spoof that it's a steam os installed game in order to download the cache from valves server and then move the cache over to the appropriate folder for the game. I guess it would be a lot of work for each game, since the cache folder isn't going to be named the same and in the same spot.

    Even then, the shaders for steam deck wouldn't work on other devices with different GPU architecture. I think it might require the same CPU architure as well. But, I'm not confident on the second part.
