Features:

  • For now we will mainly focus on PC games.
  • Sharing releases via p2p only (torrents).
  • Friendly community.
  • Sha256 checksums of release files so you can alway check the files are clean (no viruses, no malware).

    As a Linux user, I want to give you my sincerest thanks after going through so many broken unpackings from both FitGirl and Dodi

      PSA, FitGirl and Dodi setups do fail during installations on Proton and Lutris Wine, but if you were to run them using vanilla Wine they (generally) work perfectly. Just open a terminal in the downloaded folder and enter wine ./setup.exe. Just make sure you set the correct installation folder (e.g. Z:/home/username/games)

      Update: the latest FitGirl setup for Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t work on either

    It would be great some kind of sticker or banner by release that says “Steam Deck/Linux verified”, maybe the users themselves are the ones who comment if it is compatible or not and the banner is added.

      Without exaggeration I have had to download a zipped tar, that contained a rar split into ~100 parts, which contained an iso which contained a custom installer that extracted the compressed game files.

      Seems to be overkill.

      With an unpacked release I can pick and choose what to download, if it’s on a newer patch level I can just point it at an existing folder and it will just download the difference. And of course I don’t have to jump through the stupid installation hoops.

      Its normal scene releases but just unpacked (we also include UNPACKED.checksums to verify files was not modified), no rars, no zips, no isos.
