BLUR AMAX_Emu Linux Steam Deck Install Instructions

# BLUR AMAX_Emu Linux Steam Deck Install Instructions

I have tested this on the steam deck and on my desktop running EndeavourOS.

- First there's two programs needed to be installed from the discover app store(or your package manager)
	- **ProtonUP-Qt**
	- **Protontricks**
- You need to run BLUR with **Proton-7.3-GE-1** compatibility, otherwise videos won't work.
	- To install Proton-GE use the ProtonUP-Qt application.
	- Launch ProtonUP-Qt
		- select "Add Version"
		- pick Proton-7.3-GE-1
		- wait for it to finish installing.
	- Restart Steam if it was open for changes to take effect.


- If you have BLUR through steam, install it and pick Proton-7.3-GE-1 in the compatibility settings.

- If installing from file, add setup.exe as a non-steam game and run it to install.
	- You can point this install at a folder on your sdcard if you want.
- Once installed, go to properties of the non-steam game 'setup.exe' and select Browse
		- If you have the patch, point the shortcut at blur_patch.exe and run it.
		- Now go back to the non-steam game properties, rename the shortcut to BLUR and point it at the installed blur.exe and run it.

- **BLUR is now installed and playable, but there's more that needs to be done for Amax emu.**

**Amax Emu setup:**
- Initially follow the Amax Emu installation guide.
	- Copy the new blur.exe and cache folder into your install folder
	- Copy the scripts, dsound.dll, and discord-rpc.dll files into your install folder
- Run Protontricks from the Plasma Menu(Start Menu).
	- Select your "Non-Steam shortcut: BLUR" and hit okay.
		- It will warn you about a 64bit prefix, ignore it.
	- Leave "Select the default wineprefix"  selected and hit okay
	- Select "Install a Windows DLL or component" and hit okay
		- Scroll down to dsound, check its box, and hit okay and wait until it returns to the "What would you like to do to this wineprefix" menu.
	- Select "Run winecfg" and hit okay
		- Pick the Libraries tab
			- in the "New override" text box type "dsound" and hit Add.
			- It should now be added to Existing overrides as "\*dsound (native)"
				- if not native, pick Edit and change it to native.
		- close the window
	- Cancel your way back until protontricks is closed.
- Now launch BLUR from steam and you should be able to log in to multiplayer with your Amax Emu account.
