I used this guide from Gaming on Linux to write the script: t=156sġ) Create a new text file in a folder that's accessible when adding a new non-steam game to Steam. (I have only used the basic DOSBox, I haven't used DOSBox Staging or DOSBox-X yet)Ģ) You will probably also need to install Flatseal, and use it to give DOSBox the permission to access the folder where the game is installed at.ģ) Now you can either use regular DOSBox command to manually mount the folders and files if you want, or you can write a little script to easily launch a DOS game in the Gaming Mode of Steam Deck. But the performance of GOG's Windows version of DOSBox that is being run via Proton is horrible, so you'll want use a native version of DOSbox.ġ) Install DOSbox from the Discover software center. (For example with Ultima 7 the files are named nf, dosboxULTIMA7_nf and dosboxULTIMA7_nf)ģ) After this the game should launch fine from the Heroic launcher. conf files to the same folder as the game's main. The files probably aren't in the main folder, but there should a folder named Support in the game's folders that has these. The game probably won't work at this point.Ģ) Then make sure that the game's main folder has all of the required nf files. Then install your game via the launcher and run the game one time in the launcher. First of, let's look at DOS game bought from GOG and installed via the Heroic Games Launcher.ġ) The first order of business is to install Heroic Games Launcher from the Discover software center and log in to GOG. However, here's my current solution to getting DOS games to work: Full list of all short names for all ScummVM games is here. Obviously putting in the location of where you installed scummvm, the -f is run fullscreen and the samnmax bit being the short name of the game you're trying to start directly. "location_of_scummvm_folder/scummvm" -f samnmax If you need to add a command line to Steam when adding it as an external game or something, the command line looks like:. I have had zero issues adding Sam & Max Hit The Road, Day Of The Tentacle, The Dig, Monkey Island, etc, to ScummVM for Linux without even using GOG's Linux installers just by copying the game folder over from Windows, click "Add Game" in ScummVM, point it to where you put the game folder and it should just work (also works for ScummVM for Android). Then zip that up and that's future Steam Deck installer. I agree with the advice there, for Linux based PC's (which Steam Deck is) it's probably best to add your own native Linux DOSBox / ScummVM, then copy your game folder (from Windows install) over and add it to them. There was a topic about this the other day:.
