= Extra Info =
Sorry for being bad at games in this demo, I was playing at a very harsh angle so the recording wouldn’t focus on my face in the screens reflection.
I couldn’t get the Linux version of PCem to install properly so I ended up just getting the Windows version and then added it to Steam as a None-Steam game, then forced Proton Compatibility with Proton 7.0-40
This recording was using the Game Mode Steam UI which locks me out of a few options while running; however, it also runs in Desktop Mode which allows mounting .iso’s through that view.
My setup could definitely use some improvement, as you can tell from Hover and Fury3 not running great in a bigger window, but if you want to know what I used for my setup it will be listed below:
