Steam Machine setup different from the deck?

[Zarious101]

Let me start by saying I dont own a steam deck. I however, just got my "gabecube" and was hoping to get PSO on it. I tried the official steamdeck forum and my issue is that when I launch via lutris, I see the sonic screen for sega and then the game closes. I tried the non lutris route as well and it opens the launcher but the game never starts when selecting start game.

The steam machine should be running pretty much the same OS as the steam deck, so it should work pretty much the same.
I got it working on my computer with Fedora linux using info from this forum's guide
(https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/ephinea-pso-bb-on-steam-deck-official-thread.24850/),
then reading the comments on that guide, and then reading this guide: https://ragol.co.uk/guides/ephinea-steam-deck-setup/

The main thing is that you'll want to install ProtonUp-Qt from Discover and then run it.
Click the add version button for either Steam and/or Lutris and select GE-Proton10-1 and then install it.
Then configure Steam (compatibility setting) or Lutris (runner setting) and choose GE-Proton10-1.
Also there's winetricks/protontricks settings to make it run in Windows 7 compatibility mode that's explained in the guides

I just noticed you commented on checking out that other guide in the comments, but this should work. Also make sure you select Direct3D 8 in the options screen when opening the game if that isn't selected.

I'll try this after work. Thank you!
