Sor whatever switch emulator you want
SI have Yuzu already
GYou can add Yuzu as a non Steam game directly through Steam
GFor Bottles, I'm not too sure
SI can?
GYeah, in Steam you can add non Steam games
SI meant the emulator. I thought it would work because of the way yuzu is lol
GActually just remembered, for Bottles you can use a program called Boilr which will handle adding non Steam games for you
SHow do i setup emudeck? Is it the same way as i would on steamos?
SAnd how do i setup decky loader
GSame way
SIdk how to setup Emu deck I gave up cause it didn't work for me
SAh ok ty
GYou can run Yuzu through Steam big picture mode if that's what you're wondering
SIs Yuzu able to be controlled with a controller? I never checked
Syes
GIt works, you just need to have a way to select your ROMs in the interface, and also set up your controls through the Steam shortcut
GIn Yuzu itself
GOther option is Steam ROM manager, but from what I recall it wasn't working for you
SKept closing itself
SDo i get the steamos version or the linux version
GTry both
GI haven't actually used Emudeck on Bazzite
STrying steamos first
GI would think the ChimeraOS version would probably be the most functional actually, since it's just an AppImage
CDepends
CAppImages don't really work on Wayland
GThey do for me lol
SSo to add a program to the bottle what do I need to do?
GMake a gaming prefix first
SI made a gaming bottle
GThen add your exe to the program
SHow exactly? Sorry new to Linux I am lol
GOne sec
SWhat is it you're adding? You've got the option in the Bottle to either "run executable" (then pick the right executable), or if it's something installed frequently like a store--Blizzard Launcher, Epic Game's Store--you might just find it under "install Applications"
GBe sure to select your Bottle as well
Gbut yeah, run executable and point it to the exe you want to run
SExample
GOr add shortcut so it's always visible as something you can launch
SIf I add a bottle shortcut as a non steam game could steamgridDB get metadata for it?
GYeah
GI do that a lot
GWhat I personally like to do with Bottles is create a new prefix for each game I'm trying to run, just so it's better organised. But you can also get away with just one general prefix too
SThen that's literally perfect for game mode
GEasiest way to do this is to use Boilr. It'll detect all your programs added in Bottles
GAlong with any other front ends you have
SI don't have any front ends apart from gamemode
GWell, you have Bottles lol
GLooks like you can also add your shortcuts directly through Bottles, so that makes things easy
Tyou know how you said earlier that you found Lutris buggy? well, Bottles's current version broke shortcuts https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1187140365115998291/1197222866714894457
