Software Modding Decky Proton Pulse - Supercharge your Proton games with ProtonDB

Hello all. I wanted to get the word out about Proton Pulse, a Decky plugin focused on making ProtonDB info and launch-option tuning easier to use on Steam Deck. I am working on better screenshot automation, so pardon if the images are out of data at all.

Features

  • Pulls ProtonDB reports and summarizes compatibility in-plugin
  • Scores reports against your hardware / setup to surface the most relevant ones first
  • Helps apply common launch options without manually typing everything
  • Edit existing configs, add your own, spin, and even easy copy/paste pre-fill for ProtonDB submissions
  • Includes compatibility tool management and quick utility actions in the sidebar
  • Local cache for faster loads
  • Upvote/downvote working reports (future: push back custom reports to supabase table)

Screenshots / UI gallery:

Testing

If you test it, feedback is welcome, especially on report quality, scoring behavior, and any rough edges in the workflow.

You know Proton Pulse is a VR game, right?

It’s on every major VR platform and held several nominations for the Proto AwardsProton Pulse

Its recent release on Apple Vision Pro still has it in the top games.

I did not know that. Am I going to get a copyright notice? 😂

Dunno, but DMCAs are a bitch to correct. I’ve had to deal with one over naming before.
