Mx simulator on the steam deck

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

That all sounds like the decks controller mapping. Open the controller menu from the steam deck and make sure the preset mapping you are using has things mapped for the input you want it to do, or not do in the case of L3.

How hard was it to get a Personal Folder with everything in it and the game all set up?
Setup is really easy, just extract the files of the tar.gz download and your good to go. The folder that the files were extracted to acts as the personal folder so I just put everything in there. It is a pain whenever you want to type something in using a keyboard since you have to put the game into windowed mode to pull the virtual keyboard up but I just connect my bluetooth keyboard whenever I have to type something.
Hey PunMaxcs,

I just recently tried to install mxs on the deck too, but I wasn't as lucky. I extracted the download on my external sd and when I wanted to launch the game, nothing would happen. I then right clicked and selected Run in Konsole which then prompted me with this error. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EUtRRu ... drive_link

I tried installing the library, to no avail. I really am finding my time hard with linux so far.

Do you have any idea what could help me here?

Thanks in advance!

I couldn't see the error message but you might have an easier time if you replace the original mxbin with the latest snapshot. The 1.13 version is still 32 bit so it might have more trouble with libraries not being installed.
