you'll have to probably do it yourself through your OS's package manager its possible your OS may have a different version than the game was built against of course 🙂

Do these install have access too system libraries on the steam deck ? I had a look for libjpeg in the package manager on the desktop ( I suspect its more like an app store ) Does anyone know how to get and install a package in arch linux ?

Enable steam runtime in game settings Else try the windows version with wine-ge

also steam deck is a read only OS partition, so while you can probably do a system level install of the library, you likely do not want to, plus it would break next time the deck updated. I would follow Noccer's suggestion. Use the steam runtime in game settings and maybe those library paths have the right version of the lib, or just run the windows version through wine.

My solution was to install scummvm from within dolphin and then to copy the gog directories to documents/scummvm and then run and add the games to scummvm, all works OK now 😀
