How to install non steam games and repacks on steam deck the simple way.
Now you can install non steam games a few ways on the steam deck but i found this way very simple and not much can go wrong.

Sd card command : STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=" YOUR PATH HERE " %command%

Make sure where it says YOUR PATH HERE you in pact copy and paste your sd card path.

Thanks for the guide, some setups cause problems on Steam, I found the solution as follows, I installed the game I was going to install on the window, copied the installed game to USB and copied it to Steamdeck, added the exe to steam and managed to run it that way.

I don’t even have a steam deck but I found this tutorial enjoyable

I haven't done this yet(waiting for my sd card), but your walkthrough was definitely good to get me to make games run on steam deck! Please keep up on walkthroughs. You the man👍

Shout out to DODI who's in the hospital right now.

Great job.. some people just follow the steps blindly, which you should never do. You have to understand the steps, and you did great explaining that.

Great video. I been quite successful getting most pc games to work (GTA IV, Hitman, etc...) but was having trouble with Nier Automata repacked. Seen my errors first 5 minutes, can't wait to try your method tonight!

This is how ive already been installing them! I somehow figured it out lol thank you for making me feel smart 😅

You the MVP, ARG. I feel so ready to roll once I get my Deck.

I will try this when I get home, it really seems more practical than most methods. THANKS 🤙

Fantastic, money was the only thing stopping me from playing all these amazing games on the go. Not any longer 😈😈😈😈

Going to try this for Transformers War for Cybertron when I get home. Tried 2 different downloads last night. Didn't go so well.

Your steps still works for me. Steam needs a better approach, installing games like this is very sloppy. A keyboard is needed for sure. The onboard keyboard will cover the typing area.

Hi ARG i noticed in this video that you had a trainer on your steam deck, i was wondering which one it was and how about a video on installing it on your steam deck. By the way great work on your videos which are very informative to a new steam deck user. Keep up the good work..

[Gensou_Koroshi]

Thank you. 😭
I finally managed to make the games start and run, I almost giving up.

this really works, even with elamigos games for example.

Love the videos man! I appreciate your info greatly. Is there any guidance on how to move the quacked games from the SD card to the hard drive of the steam deck? Sorry kinda a noob.... lol

Subscribed and success!!! I couldn't find that critical file setup.exe in my repack. Was weird because it launches on PC and the Steam OS recognize it but still required purchase... but I kept getting ERROR 1 launching the game. So after researching more, I found my .iso copy, mounted it and found that setup.exe file i needed to complete your method. And it worked flawlessly 👌

I need a huge favor, I searched your channel, do you have a tutorial to setup Xenia on Steam Deck? No one has a real tutorial uploaded on getting this running, just a bunch of showcase videos 🙏🙏

Thanks for the guide. I have been trying to install Transformers: War For Cybertron on the Deck and it just won’t launch. I’ve tried to install using your method, installation via Lutris and the old drag and drop existing install (Steam and PC builds) and no dice.

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I have the WFC games on PS3 but love handheld gaming too much.

Keep up the great work all.

[totalsubmition]

You should have way more subs. I've subbed. Keep up the good work bud.

[tolgaytonay]

Hi, thank you for the video. I have a question which method should be preferred the one on this video or using Lutris? Thank you for the answer.
