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 Playback app 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 Playback app icon, connect your device and enjoy!
Rumble and Steam Deck controls are also fully supported.
