Hi there,

I got my Steam Deck a few days ago and built-in app manager in the Desktop Mode, I installed some emulators including MelonDS since I use it on my Windows PC. I have some issues with this Linux version however:

1- In the Steam Deck Game mode, MelonDS is not able to get to my MicroSD card where my ROMs reside. Not sure if this is a security issue or if like a Windows game installed using Proton, that it's limited to some sort of Virtual Partition.

2- In the Steam Deck Desktop mode, I am able to open ROMs from my MicroSD card, but only by hitting Ctrl+O on an actual Keyboard because all of the Menus (File, System, etc...) are not present for some reason. I doubt that this has to do with MelonDS because I have the same issue with Citra.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

EDIT 1: I solved the 2nd issue by changing the desktop theme, so problem solved.
EDIT 2: Solved the 1st problem by installing an app called "flatseal" (in Desktop Mode), opening it, selecting MelonDS and allowing "All system files" under "Filesystem".
