Beta 0.8.1

A new version of Junk-Store is now available, featuring a few bug fixes and additional features.

What's Changed:

• Fixed a bug that prevents built in Proton versions from functioning correctly.
• Fixed a bug where the games size was not displayed correctly (this was the cuase of games showing as always installed).
• Added experimental Proton GE 9.4 Umu-Protonfixes support (this will apply known fixes to games automatically).
• Will default to Proton 9 if no default Proton is specified.
• Correctly launch games that requires an update.
• Once the game is installed you can push Y on the controller to go the the Steam shortcut for that game.

While it is still in the early stages, we truly appreciate the support we've received so far. Let's keep the momentum going to build more features and make this plugin even more powerful. #JunkStore #GamingRevolution🎮

Full Changelog: Beta-0.5...beta-0.8

Beta 0.5

*** DO NOT INSTALL THIS RELEASE, it's out dated install from the decky testing store instead ***

This is the build that is submitted to the decky loader testing store. If you'd like to install it you can enable developer mode in the Decky Loader settings. Then you can install the plugin from a url.

https://github.com/ebenbruyns/junkstore/releases/download/Beta-0.5/Junk-Store.zip

You must run the install dependency script from the About/Dependencies page before things will work correct. Please note that this uses a custom built flatpak for legendary at the moment and will be changed to the official one once it is available.

Beta 0.4

There is now a working progress bar and you can cancel downloads too. It's not possible to resume downloads at present though.

You must have decky loader already installed, if you don't know how to do this, it's too early for you to try this plugin. The scripts are still rough and contains development testing code, please excuse this for now.

Switch to desktop mode.
Download the installer.
Double click the junk-store-installer.desktop file

This will launch a browser and ask you to log into the epic store. Once logged in copy the authorizationCode into the Konsole window where it's asking you to do so and hit enter. Please note that you might get a bunch or errors here, paste the code and push enter anyways, it should succeed.

It will ask for your sudo password to restart the plugin loader.

Go back to gaming mode.

The usual thing about game compatibility applies. This is still beta software, report any bugs so I can look into them. Things might not be super smooth, but having epic games install and run right from within steam is kinda cool and I wanted to share it.

Those who are curious about where the games lists comes from are encouraged to check out ~/homebrew/data/junk-store/tabs

While it does work on linux, I'm not going to support it at this stage, if you're keen and want to script dive you might be able to figure it out.
I develop on Vanilla Arch and I test the code on a Manjaro Virtual Machine. So you may have some success if you try it on one of those.

Beta 0.3

This is still super rough, but it installs reliably enough that it's sharable.

You must have decky loader already installed, if you don't know how to do this, it's too early for you to try this plugin. The scripts are still rough and contains development testing code, please excuse this for now.

Switch to desktop mode.

Download the installer.
Run the installer from desktop mode
once the installer finishes open Konsole

conda activate base
cd ~/junk-store-decky
./install_deps.sh

This will launch a browser and ask you to log into the epic store. Once logged in copy the authorizationCode into the Konsole window where it's asking you to do so and hit enter. Please note that you might get a bunch or errors here, paste the code and push enter anyways, it should succeed.

At the moment you should also run this command:

sudo systemctl restart plugin_loader

For some reason things don't load properly if you don't

Restart your steam deck, if you don't the epic games might not load.
