steamdeck-m8c

This repository contains simple scripts for installing m8c on the Steam Deck.

Check if Audio Fix is Needed

1. In Gaming Mode, navigate to Settings > Audio and select Speakers as the Output Device (not Default)
2. Make sure Enable UI Sounds is enabled, and your volume is up.
3. Move around in the menu.
4. If you still hear sound, you can skip step 6 of the installation instructions.

Installation Instructions

1. In Desktop Mode, open Konsole and set a password on your Steam Deck
   (Skip this step if you have already set a password.)

   passwd

2. Download the steamdeck-m8c repository and change directory

   git clone https://github.com/roterodamus/steamdeck-m8c.git
   cd steamdeck-m8c/

3. Make scripts executable

   chmod +x download-m8c-latest.sh
   chmod +x install-libserialport.sh
   chmod +x steamdeck-audiofix.sh

4. Download and unzip the latest m8c from the Laamaa/m8c repository

   ./download-m8c-latest.sh

5. Install libserialport

   ./install-libserialport.sh

6. Apply Audio Fix (Only if Needed)

   ./steamdeck-audiofix.sh

7. Reboot. All done!

Post installation

[!TIP] I have uploaded a community controller layout. Search for it under m8c or roterodamus.

• You can add m8c to steam as a non-Steam game so you can launch it from Gaming mode.
• The default controls in Gaming Mode don't work, make sure you bind the controls to keyboard keys A, S, Z, X and the arrow-keys.

notes

• You can run the scripts individually if needed. To update to the latest version of m8c, of if an update for SteamOs breaks libserialport.
• The Audio Fix script might be able to fix hdmi audio problems too.

A very special thanks to:
