Usage as an end user
Installing a dev version
Uploading an AppImage using Deck DevKit
Source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/loadgames
- Name: MinetestAppImage
- Local folder:
/home/user/dev/tmp/minetestdeck/
- Upload filtering [Include only]
Minetest-dev.AppImage
- Start command:
Minetest-dev.AppImage
- Save config
- Click Upload
- On deck:
cp /usr/lib/libcrypto.so ~/devkit-game/MinetestAppImage/libcrypto.so.1
- Minetest should now be in Non-steam games as "Devkit games: MinetestAppImage"
Note, I had issues reusing the layout from the stable version of the game. Pressing "apply layout" did nothing. I needed to follow this bizarre workaround https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/10tsp1a/i_cant_change_the_default_controller_layout/
