Installing a dev version

Uploading an AppImage using Deck DevKit

Source: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/loadgames

  • Name: MinetestAppImage
  • Local folder: /home/user/dev/tmp/minetestdeck/
  • Upload filtering [Include only] Minetest-dev.AppImage
  • Start command: Minetest-dev.AppImage
  • Save config
  • Click Upload
  • On deck: cp /usr/lib/libcrypto.so ~/devkit-game/MinetestAppImage/libcrypto.so.1
  • Minetest should now be in Non-steam games as "Devkit games: MinetestAppImage"

Note, I had issues reusing the layout from the stable version of the game. Pressing "apply layout" did nothing. I needed to follow this bizarre workaround https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/10tsp1a/i_cant_change_the_default_controller_layout/
