My perfected and streamlined WeMod tutorial for Steam Deck

I totally agree that it is - my personal opinion - current not worth the effort (=time for end users).

WeMod on Steam Deck

Hi there, I would like to use WeMod on Steam Deck and share my current experience. I have read several guides (several long videos, picture series, sharing gigabytes of fully installed file structures on Github), but I don’t feel that the problem is fully understood. It feels like it is more of a guessing game. I created a new “Add Non-Steam Games to a Library” entry and installed “Proton-6.19-GE-2” with ProtonUp-Qt (from the Discover package manager) to extract the file https://api.wemod.co…

It works mostly randomly, depending on the Proton version, and hoping that the MS installer/wine combination works somehow during the NET installer.

The scripting currently does not help much as under the hood they also use normal Winetricks.

I had no reliable success with SteamTinkerLaunch.

It would help if Wemod could compile a self contained binary without external dependencies / (maybe with less tracking) for Steam Deck users. Yes, I currently think I would pay an extra fee for this.

Recently I found GitHub - SheffeyG/CheatDeck: Launch games with cheat or trainer and other settings in steamdeck quite helpful, maybe this is also path for others (its simple, they use PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD to launch an additional exe file of choice in the bottle/protondb), I like it also for the simplicity of using.
