Installer & launcher for Junction VIII on SteamOS and other Linux distros


Purpose

This script will:

  • Apply patches to FF8's proton prefix to accomodate Junction VIII
  • Install Junction VIII to a folder of your choosing (you must create this directory beforehand)
  • Add Junction VIII to Steam and the KDE Launcher using a custom wrapper
  • (SteamOS Only) Add a custom controller config, so you can control the mouse with the trackpad without holding down the STEAM button

Requirements

  • A fresh installation of FF8 via Steam

Prerequisites

Pop!_OS

If you are running Pop!_OS, gawk needs to be installed or you will encounter a syntax error when 8thDeck tries to detect FF8's installation.

  1. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install gawk

If you are not running Pop!_OS or don't know what that means, you can skip installing gawk.


Usage

  1. Download and extract to a folder of your choosing
  2. Run install.sh (Right-click -> Run in Konsole)
  3. Launch Junction VIII from Steam or Desktop Shortcut
