steamdeck-emulation VS HeroicBashLauncher

Take a look at this.

I followed this guide to add a melonDS Parser and it shows my nds games in the generate app list but they don’t show up in my steam library. What’s weird is that my other roms on different systems do show up in steam. I’m using the SRM from EmuDeck. Any ideas?

The second result of the automod's suggested search actually has the perfect answer here, but to spoonfeed a bit, read this https://github.com/nchristopher/steamdeck-emulation/blob/main/emulators/dolphin.md

Can you utilize addtosteam.sh with this similar to how heroic did?

I've previously used Heroic Bash Launcher for that. It generates a script that opens the game in exactly the same way Heroic does, and you can then add the script as a non steam game.

The EUREKA moment came from a thread for CIV IV on a random Heroic Launcher Github thread. https://github.com/redromnon/HeroicBashLauncher/issues/38

Works for me with Lutris shortcuts and some native Linux games I have installed. Herioc shortcuts needs an extra step using Heroic Bash Launcher

You're probably better launching through heroic and not directly using proton. This project looks like it might add all your heroic games to steam automatically: https://github.com/redromnon/HeroicBashLauncher

Heroic Bash Launcher

Use Heroic Launcher (find in desktop mode via discover (flatpack)). Install Windows versions to take advantage of Steam/Proton. Sync saves using Heroic Launcher too (be careful the feature is currently in Beta, but working fine for me in D:OS). Install the shortcut in your steam library using Heroic Bash Launcher, job done.

For heroic installed games, i used https://github.com/redromnon/HeroicBashLauncher to add steam shortcuts for individual games.

But for Heroic, afaik you need this, though I am still working on the guide and can't 100% confirm.
