delisted & abandoned PC games · full-game mods · fan ports
Full-game mods, delisted classics, and abandoned PC games —
installed on your Steam Deck.
deckport is a recipe book for the games you can't just buy and install anymore. Each recipe is the tested know-how to get one running on the Deck — the right Proton or native setup, the binary, the launch tweaks, and real artwork — so it lands in Game Mode looking like it belongs. It tells you how to set a game up; never where to download it.
the recipe book
Games worth the extra coaxing
A taste of what's inside — sorted to the strongest first. Each card shows deckport's own honest status and the community ProtonDB tier, two signals that never pretend to be each other.

Configuration, never sources
A recipe describes how to make a game you already own run — the Proton version, the binary, the launch options. It never says where to download a game, and it never bypasses DRM.

reading a recipe
Two signals on every card
deckport's status is our honesty about whether the recipe is confirmed. The ProtonDB tier is the community's read on how the game runs under Proton. They're shown separately, on purpose.

there's a CLI too
One transfer, one command, into Game Mode
Beyond the recipes, deckport ships a tiny importer for getting any non-Steam game onto the Deck the tedious-by-hand way: it fetches artwork on your PC, then on the Deck writes the shortcut and files the art under the IDs Steam expects — so the game shows up controller-ready, in real box art.
