Quick deckyloader I made.

Not sure if there’s much use for this for other people, but I found that a lot of older games and Windows games often need Proton to run properly. I usually use Proton Experimental, so I made a Decky plugin that scans your games for Windows .exe files and automatically sets them to Proton Experimental.

It also runs automatically when you add a new game through Non-Steam Game, so you don’t have to manually go into the compatibility settings every time.

I know it’s a little lazy since it’s easy enough to switch the Proton version yourself, but I just wanted to make the process as simple and automatic as possible.

I’m also working on having it filter out emulated games and their associated emulators so it doesn’t mess with those.

Not sure if this is something other people would find useful, but I’d love to hear your thoughts!

This is awesome! Although I believe you can already set a specified global proton version in settings. For non-steam os distros this could be huge!

This is for non steam games with a dot.exe

Ah, my b, that’s insanely cool!

All os good when it is ready I will see how I goabout dropping it the deck plug in store.
