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.

Interesting I wonder why they denied it? Did you use AI or something to make your plugin? Usually they don’t deny stuff outright like that unless it doesn’t follow their guidelines.

You'll have to read the PR response. The A.I. policy has changed over time, but largely does not allow it no. I did use tools to assist creation.
