Hello!

I’ve been a somewhat new member of the community here. My crummy windows PC can’t really handle any games outside of maybe some GBA emulators.

However! I recently was gifted a Steam Deck.

As a test, ages ago, I tried to set up Yuzu and Tears of the Kingdom on my W11 machine.

It crashed on launch, but BG3 didn’t! It ran on 2 frames per second.

I have a few other similar games that I would love to play on my Deck. But I’m not sure how to get the files transferred!

I tried using KDE Connect to move the Repacked files over, but couldn’t get that working.

I then tried dropping the repacks into a USB and transferring that, but it didn’t seem to work either — the file wasn’t recognized.

Should I just set up my Steam Deck from scratch and ignore my seedbox of a laptop?

Isn't that a Nintendo Switch game? You'd need to install and run an emulator for that, like you did with Yuzu on Windows. I don't think Yuzu is around anymore, but there are some sucessors, Eden and Citron? I'd install one of those. At least Eden has SteamOS mentioned on it's homepage. You need to install it, though. The SteamOS or Linux version from their homepage, not copy the entire emulator over from Windows. After that you can transfer the game files and load them into the emulator. Any variant to copy files between computers should work. A windows network share, USB stick, microSD card, a cloud drive or filedrop/sync tool...
