Caution
Release Notes - Very Small Metadata Update plus other fixes
Been a while but wanted to add new sites to the links for metadata and left and right arrows so more links can be added in the future.
In the metadata card, the launcher icon is now clickable and will open the game’s official webpage when available. For now, this mainly works with Epic, GOG, and Ubisoft, but more support will be added soon. Also made some small changes to the format of the metadata card and pretty soon I will be adding a lot more functionality.
The Music button should render correctly again to turn it off and on.
The Decky Plugin version of the metadata will also now render correctly in WindowsOS.
Added GamingOnSteam.com (big shoutout to Martin & his team)
Added SteamInputDB.com
Added Speedrun.com
Added SteamCharts.com

Tip
Use the red Update button in the plugin or NSLPlugin.desktop to install or update the plugin when using Decky Loader.
Windows
- Download the current Windows version of Decky Loader here (https://nightly.link/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/workflows/build-win/main/PluginLoader%20Win.zip)
- Download NSLPluginWindows.exe from here
- Run NSLPluginWindows.exe first. This will also create the necessary cef debugging file for Decky Loader.
- Run either No_console.exe or Plugin Loader.exe. You can also press Win + R, type
shell:startup, and press Enter, then place the .exe there to launch Decky Loader on boot. - Go into Game Mode or Big Picture Mode to see the Decky Loader plugin and NonSteamLaunchers.
Warning
On Windows, only game scanning, playtime, metadata and game theme music work.
Other features are not yet functional, but auto-scan and manual scan both work correctly, including artwork formatting.
