1. Installing Descent Destination Saturn
Here's how to install the DX1 Source Port. First download the DX1 Redux Source Port from DXX Redux...

Insert the Descent Destination Saturn CD into your drive

Download and install DOSBOX. Add a Folder Called DOS. Run dosbox and mount the CD Drive where Destination Saturn is located:
Mount [CD Drive Letter] [CD Drive] -t cdrom

Enter Install to Descent Destination Saturn.

Follow the Installation Instructions shown and complete the Sound Setup then exit DOSBOX.

Create a new folder in the Descent Folder and Name it "DX1 Redux Destination Saturn" and extract the DX1 Redux Files into the Folder.

Copy the Descent Destination Saturn Files into DX1 Redux Destination Saturn's folder

Do NOT run Descent just yet, you'll need to download the Sound Files Add-On from DXX-Rebirth then extract the OPL3 Music File into the DX1 Redux Destination Saturn Folder.

Select Add a Game on Steam, locate the Shareware Version of Descent via the "DX1 Redux Destination Saturn" Folder, add D1X Redux as a Non Steam Game and Rename it to "D1X Rebirth - Descent Destination Saturn.

Run the game, set the correct video resolution and make any display changes necessary from Descent Destination Saturn after creating a Profile Save.

I have not tested Destination Saturn on D1X-Rebirth and D2X-XL as I don't have Descent 2 at the moment

Unlike the Shareware Version where its 7 Levels long. Destination Saturn has the Plasma and Fusion Cannon Weapons where the Shareware version of Descent does not.
