Just be aware that even if you do get it working on SteamDeck, the NoCD issue is going to cause frustration.

OpenApoc recently discovered that it is a DOSBox issue affecting all forks - see issue here at DOSBox-X tracker

https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/4904

Sadly, until DOSBox and DOSBox-X fix the problem NoCD will always present eventually

In the meantime you can compile your own distributions with the source and altering the affected lines of code in whatever DOSBox flavour you want

There is a precompiled DOSBox-X executable at the OpenApoc discord server for Win64 also

The crashes are pretty bad.

Thank you for your precious feedback.

You know what I like with Linux ?
Every little tiny thing you want to do is always asking for 30 minutes of your time, may it be hacking a highly secured official website or changing your wallpaper.

So I fiddled with openApoc a bit.
Git, prereq, compilation, etc...All good ! And then I experienced a very smooth interface, but packed with a frigging bugfest, a crash every minute, whatever I tried.

Disgusted, I minded my own business for a while.
Then...Sheesh, why not trying something really, really stupid ?

And guess what ? Apoc's windows version, with cd.iso from steam, works PER-FECT-LY on Ubuntu through wine64 !

I have to try it on Steam deck someday.

Have a nice one !

That's the problem I'm facing with my steam deck as well, constantly crashes. If you find a fix for it, please let it be known. :)

Hi Cid, in that case, you're gonna like what I found !
I'm adding a new discussion on this topic.
