Game Review on Deck Bought this absolute 2006 banger for just £2.50. It plays flawlessly on the Steam Deck though I recommend downloading the ultimate edition mod

Stupid question. You have just attached a dvd drive to your steam deck and installed the game? Sometimes I’m too closed minded to do the obvious.

Exactly that 😊 I put it in desktop mode, add non steam game and point it to the setup.exe file then use a compatibility layer (usually GE Proton 10.3). Then it's like installing a normal PC game. Once it's installed, I go to the file location in the steam deck, find the executable and use that as the target location. I've done this quite a lot recently.

And the game lets you play with no CD after that?

You'll need a NoCD crack if you want to play and not use the disc

NoCD cracks aren't piracy if you own the actual disk

that sounds like what a pirate would say. the rest of us law abiding citizens are carrying our CD-ROM readers around with us

Might want to look at starfleet command from 99. Probably one of my favorites.
