Descent 2 (from 1996) running on the Deck at native resolution with full controller support. My inner child is loving this.

  Descent-Rebirth and Descent II-Rebirth

  

I got Descent 1 and 2 running thanks to DXX-Rebirth (https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/). I compiled the binaries for both games on my desktop computer, and then packaged them along with some libraries into AppImage files. The AppImages can be run directly from Steam as a non-Steam game once they are copied onto the Deck. Native resolution, and the controls work great.

  Software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications

  

I had this problem too on desktop Linux with old games running via WINE (not crashing but MIDI not playing when it should). I'm not sure if you wanna test this out, but after a bit of research on this and talking to Redditors, I installed Fluidsynth (you can compile it like you did the AppImages so you don't have to go Dev Mode on the Deck I believe), downloaded a soundfont of my choice, then set up a script which would run fluidsynth -a pulse /path/to/soundfont.sf2 or something on the background every boot. Surprisingly it worked!
