Downloading and Compiling

If you're on a pretty up to date distro you can go to Releases instead. Afterwards skip straight to Usage or Installation and Uninstallation

Requires: 32 bit versions of g++, OpenSSL & pkg-config

Then run:

git clone "https://github.com/AceSLS/SLSsteam"
cd SLSsteam
make

Usage

This is only for people not wanting to use an installer. If you do read Configuration, then Installation and Uninstallation

LD_AUDIT="/full/path/to/SLSsteam.so" steam

Configuration

Configuration gets created at ~/.config/SLSsteam/config.yaml during first run

Installation and Uninstallation

Any distro:

./setup.sh install
./setup.sh uninstall

Afterwards start steam from your Desktop's kickstarter and SLSsteam should get loaded

Arch Linux:

Download latest SLSsteam-Arch.pkg.tar.zst then run:

sudo pacman -U SLSsteam-Arch.pkg.tar.zst

Afterwards start SLSsteam from your Desktop's kickstarter

NixOS:

Add this to your flake inputs

sls-steam = {
  url = "github:AceSLS/SLSsteam";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Then, add it to your packages and run it with SLSsteam from the terminal

environment.systemPackages = [inputs.sls-steam.packages.${pkgs.system}.wrapped];

Alternatively, to have it run with steam on any launch, add it to your steam environment variables

programs.steam.package = pkgs.steam.override {
  extraEnv = {
    LD_AUDIT = "${inputs.sls-steam.packages.${pkgs.system}.sls-steam}/SLSsteam.so";
  };
};

Configuration on NixOS

You can configure SLSsteam declaratively using the home-manager module

Add the module to your imports

imports = [inputs.sls-steam.homeModules.sls-steam];

Then configure it through services.sls-steam.config. For example:

services.sls-steam.config = {
  PlayNotOwnedGames = true;
  AdditionalApps = [
    3769130
  ];
};

You can find further details in the definition file

Updating

git pull
make rebuild

Afterwards run the installer again if that's what you've been using to launch SLSsteam

OnetapBeta by Hammer Steam: Resells Steamless & SLSsteam. Intellectually went far enough to rename SLSsteam to deckloader2, that's about as far as their skill extends.
