----- This guide was made for Primarily Steam Deck users on SteamOS -----

This will work across Linux Distributions regardless § requires light Terminal usage.

Steam Deck / SteamOS

1. Steam

2. Desktop Mode

3. RPG Maker MV / MZ for Linux: - - Click to Donate -[bakurpg.itch.io]

4. Guide Requires Demon Roots to be installed on Internal Storage

---

Desktop Mode? - 2(a). You will need to know how to enter Desktop Mode & at the very least know how to open Steam & Use The File Explorer(Dolphin)

---

Why V.106? - 3(a) This is the version I did all of my testing on, and thus I can only recommend the exact version I've been using for the following reasons:

3.(b) To ensure my experience is your experience - Updated versions of software is usually a good thing b̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶p̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶g̶u̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶&̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶e̶n̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶. We will now automatically defer to the latest version offered, though as a point of reference, I encourage you to follow my guide: AS-IS.

---

Why Internal Storage? 4(a) - It's not required, this is solely to streamline the tutorial and reduce how much I have to type I have to type. Adding an SD Card into the mix will add additional steps that may confuse some readers, so at best.. It may get it's own segment or follow-up at another time.

(If you've followed the prerequisites above you should be in Desktop Mode already.

• Open Terminal(Named: "Konsole")

  ---

  
  

  ---

  
  
• Use the Application Guide to find "Konsole" & Open it.
  

  ---

  
  

  ---

  
  
• Use "L2" or Right Mouse Click Action to Copy/Paste the Following into the Terminal(Konsole)
  
  
  wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs/main/installgithub.sh" | bash && wget -P $HOME/desktopapps/nwjs/nwjs/nwjs https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.87.0/nwjs-v0.87.0-linux-x64.tar.gz && cd $HOME/desktopapps/nwjs/nwjs/nwjs && tar -xzf nwjs-v0.87.0-linux-x64.tar.gz && rm nwjs-v0.87.0-linux-x64.tar.gz | echo Rebooting in Approx 30sec && sleep 30s && systemctl reboot
  
  
• Press "Enter" or the "A" Button to apply information to the Terminal
  
  
• Prepare to Check Log Data

  ---

  
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Once the installation is complete, SteamOS will reboot in approx 30 seconds.
  
  
• Check the logs and see if you had any errors, issues or if something did not install correctly, it will tell you in plain text, that's easy to understand & remember what you read if needed. (99% of installs will be just fine)
  
  
• Our Custom Compatibility Tool has now been installed - Next Step

• Inside Steam /-\ Desktop Mode not Required

  ---

  
  

  ---

  
  
• Go to the Game Page for Demon Roots
  
  
• Select [Manage]Properties - On The Right Side of the Page
  
  
• Go to Compatibility

  ---

  
  

  ---

  
  
• Select:
  "RPG Maker MV/MZ (cicpoffs mount) Tool"

  ---

  
  
  

  ---

  
  
  
• Ensure that you have NJWS Version: v.0.87.0[dl.nwjs.io] | When this guide was created, v.0.87.0 worked 100%, I've tested up to v0.93.0, but not as in-Depth as v.0.87.0 due to time constrains.
  
  | EDIT - \ - / - Update |
  
  (You should be fine with using the latest version of NJWS though)
  
  I am however redoing a playthrough of Demon Roots currently w/the latest version of NWJS at the time of writing(V0.94) & I have noticed irregularities. Switching back to V0.87.0 resolved those Irregularities, so I am now requiring it's usage.
  
  ONLY USE NWJS Version: V0.87.0
  
  | End - \ of / - EDIT |
  
  
  
• You are free to 1:1 match my other settings for cicpoffs mount, but I believe it's not necessary
  
  
• DO NOT ENABLE: "Pixi5 Update" | May cause issues

When playing in-Game Mode, Demon Roots might not Fullscreen on boot.

---

---

• To resolve this Go to Demon Roots: Controller Settings --> Community Layouts
  
  
• Press "X" Button(1-2x) to make more Layouts appear, if you see no Layouts or can't find it
  
  
• Find: "𝕯𝖊𝖒𝖔𝖓 𝕽𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖘 | ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 ∵ 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐱 | [Steam Deck]"
  
  
• Press: "Y" Button | Give this Layout a like, to show support
  
  
• Apply this Layout & The Fullscreen issues will be resolved
  
  (The Fullscreen Problem wasn't present when the Guide was first created, though I created this section to directly address it, if you use the Layout; Giving it a like would be appreciated as it shows support & appreciation)

So.. There's nothing else to do here, we're actually done!!!
