The GB Operator is fully compatible with the Steam Deck, making your favorite Game Boy games portable once again, with a modern twist! To connect the GB Operator all you have to do is:
-
Long press the Steam Deck's power button and click on "Switch to Desktop".
-
Make sure to download or update to the latest version of the Epilogue Operator Software for Linux from our website using a browser of your choice.
-
Now we have to make sure SteamOS has permissions to use our device. To do so, tap the Steam Deck icon on toolbar and go to System>Konsole. Here we will have to run 2 commands.
-
For the first command, you have to type the text: sudo usermod -a -G uucp deck in the console terminal and then press Enter. You can do this either by connecting a physical keyboard or by opening up the on-screen keyboard by pressing the Steam + X buttons at the same time.
- Type sudo reboot and press enter to run the second command which will restart your Steam Deck.
- If the Konsole requests a password for your Steam Deck, you must set it first. You can set it by typing the following command: passwd After running this command you will be asked to type your password twice, make sure you remember it.

Double click the Operator Software Application icon, connect your device and enjoy!
