On the left side of the window, click on the “Compatibility” tab to bring up some new options. This basically helps the Steam Deck work out how to find the file and often can be the difference between something working and not. In the “Shortcut” section, underneath “Target” and “Start in,” click on “Browse” and navigate through your folders until you find the “xenia_canary.exe” file from early and click twice on it.
Left-click “Xenia_Canary” from the left of the screen (or whatever Steam has named it) and head into “Properties.” This first part isn’t needed for everyone but as a SteamOS beta user, it may help, and is worth doing. Step 4: Configure Xenia in SteamĪs of right now, the Canary version of Xenia won’t work right, so let’s fix it. Note: It may be named something odd like “.” Don’t worry if it is, we’ll be sorting all that out shortly. In it, type “Xenia” and you should see the file we just added. Head into “Library” and in the upper-left of the screen should be a search box. Left-click on the file to bring up a menu and select “Add to Steam.” The Steam icon should pop up then a few seconds later, after it’s disappeared, head into the main Steam app.
Once you’ve moved the files to somewhere safe, head inside and look for the file named “xenia_canary.exe.” Step 3: Add the Xenia Canary Build to Steam We already have EmuDeck installed so we moved it to the “Emulation” folder it created, though you’re free to whack it anywhere that makes sense to you. Next, move the contents of the zip file to somewhere easy to remember where it can live forever. Once it’s finished downloading, head into the “Downloads” folder in the Dolphin file explorer and unzip it. If you’d prefer to download it on a computer and transfer it over, we’ve got a guide for transferring files over to the Steam Deck from a PC. Personally, the easiest way to get this file on the Steam Deck is to use either Firefox or Chrome on the Steam Deck (both can be found in the Discovery store in Desktop Mode) and download the file directly to the Deck.
Next, head over to the Xenia Canary build page on Github and download the latest file named “xenia_canary.zip.” Once this does, navigate down to “Switch to Desktop” and click it.Īfter a few seconds the Steam Deck should boot into the Linux desktop mode and we’re good to move on. To exit, hold down the power button until a menu pops up.
Let’s kick things off with something nice and simple: Boot into desktop mode.īy default, the Steam Deck will be in Gaming Mode.
