Pre-Requisites:

Install Decky Loader:
- Download and install Decky Loader on your SteamDeck.
- Enable developer mode in the Decky Loader settings.

Install HV Decky Plugin:
- Download HV Decky plugin zip file from CSRIN.
- In gaming mode, press the 3-dots button to access Decky Loader.
- Select “Developer” in the settings menu.
- Choose “Install Plugin from Zip File.”
- Browse and select the HV Decky file you downloaded, then install it.

Install Modded Proton:
- Download the latest modded version of Proton, currently, GE-Proton11-1-LinUwUx, from CSRIN.
- Run the provided command from the forum in the Steamdeck’s konsole to install the files.

Installation Methods:

Accela Method:
- Verify the latest build supported by the HV crack.
- Obtain the manifest and LuA files for the game (Hubcap, Ryuu, etc.)
- Download the game using Accela by dragging and dropping the zip file.
- If the latest game build is supported by the HV bypass, follow the normal process of adding by appid, since that would download the latest files.

Repacks Method:
- Download the game files from a trusted repacker or site from the megathread
- Install the game using the downloaded files.

Applying the Bypass:

Download DenuvOwO HV Crack/Bypass:
- Obtain the DenuvOwO HV bypass files from CSRIN or if available through a repacker site. (I recommend directly from Rin forum)
- For Linux (Steamdeck), only copy the contents of the DenuvOwO sub-folder to the game folder.
- Locate and modify the “autoload” setting in the DenuvOwO.ini or reflex.ini file to ‘false’ and save it.
- Delete Steam_api64.dll and steam64.dll from the game folder.

Setting Up HV Decky:

Configure HV Decky Plugin:
- Enter gaming mode and press the 3-dots button.
- Access Decky Loader and select the HV Decky plugin.
- Click “Disable UMIP.”
- Click “Download Module” and and when completed, then click on “Start Module.”
- In the manual tab, ensure all build environments are in a “Ready” state.
- If not, click “Install Steam OS Build Dependencies” to resolve any missing items.
- Click “Test HV” in the auto tab. A popup confirming bypass success should appear.
- In the game tab, check or select the game you downloaded and applied the HV bypass to.

Running the Game:

Execute the Game:
After completing all previous steps, you can run the game.

Additional Notes:

- Ensure your compatibility settings are configured to use the modded Proton version.
- In the event that you Restart or turn off your device, you will need to start the module in HV Decky again on reboot to play the game.
- Check the game forum on rin for updates to reflex or DenuvOwO files if the game starts and closes immediately.
- If encountering a hash mismatch error for the exe, download the correct exe from the rin game forum, paste it into the game folder, and try running the game again.

My wife and I have our regular TV/movie watching time from around 9-11 every night.

Recently I’ve been working through some games on my Steam Deck (Pokemon GRAND Colosseum, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Control.) and have just really found that using a regular pillow to support my arms is just hot and often blocks the vents. Same issue if I use blankets, plus I feel like these don’t offer enough support.

All this to says — do you use a lap desk? If so, are you married to a particular type or brand?

I’m probably looking for more of a lap desk than a TV tray type thing.

Hey all!

Getting an error saying corrupt update file during the “verify file integrity step” of an installation to an SD card.

The card is of an unknown age and is not a particularly large or good one. I think it’s an ADATA sandisk.

I’ve run fsck -p and -y on it already but it didn’t return any errors.

I’ve reformatted it as well.

I have a spare key for Starbound. Anyone interested in it?

So relatively new deck owner.

Got a deal on a regular Deck for pretty cheap. I didn’t opt for the 1TB SSD or anything like that.

I know that it’s a pretty easy hardware replacement for the SSD or the SD card.

I just have a couple questions:

1. Does the cloning process for the SSD require specialized tools?
2. do you notice a huge performance improvement on SSD compared to SD card?

Anyone know songs similar to this? I have no idea what they’re singing about, but I’m absolutely vibing with it.

Looking to get my emulator set up for Legends ZA and was wondering if the DLC works?

I haven’t messed around with emulating Switch games yet, outside of a proof of concept test on a computer that couldn’t actually emulate Tears of the Kingdom.

I’ve seen Gurren Lagann (10/10), Code Geass (8/10), and pretty much all of Neon Genesis Evangelion + movies and rebuilds.

Are there any other really good super robot anime?

I watched Darling in the FranXX and had a good time til about episode 18 or so when it jumped the shark.

At one point I tried and dropped Eureka 7, just seemed really childish? Might need a revisit, but the MCs being so young was strange to me.

What other mecha shows are worth the watch? I haven’t ever seen a Gundam show, but did watch Zoids as a kid, hah.

Been seeing significant issues with trying to farm matches for the event.

Takes like 1-2 minutes to connect instead of instantly. I’ve even been seeing timeouts!

I tried updating the app, as the pop up suggested, but saw no changes.

What’s your favorite version of Tetris?

So I have some games I’m running via Lutris, and my Deck runs the games fine.

All my prompts for commands are based on keyboard controls, even if I disconnect a keyboard.

I was able to work around this for some games via in game settings, but not all games seem to have this option.

Am I missing a setting?

Edit: should clarify I am running the game via Lutris in Gaming mode.
