#* http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=500
# Run:  <code>fluidsynth -a pulseaudio /path/to/soundfont</code>

# Open the file /DATA/Config.def with a text editor. Change line like <code>CD-Rom=V:\US</code> to <code>CD-Rom=-nocd</code>
# Copy the installation directory on the Deck.
# Create a "non-steam" shortcut on the deck and point it to BLUPI.EXE
# Select the compatibility tab, check "Force compatibility layer" and select "Proton 7.0"
# Add the following to "Launch options" on the shortcut: <code>PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% -nocd</code>
# Switch back to gaming mode (if you were on desktop mode), make sure the controller profile is set to Keyboard + Mouse, launch it
 
Background music is not working. You can fix it by installing Qsynth and sound fonts.
