This guide will show you how to install Muse Dash custom charts and modes on your Steam Deck device.
Protontricks Setup
First, get Protontricks. If you don’t have it, go to Discover, find “Protontricks,” and install it.
Next, look for “Flatseal” in Discover, install it, and open it.
Now, go to Protontricks in Flatseal, go to “Filesystem,” and tap on “All user files.” Grant permission to /run/media for “Other files.”
MDMC Prerequisites
Before anything else, play Muse Dash once using Proton 7.0-6 to create the initial setup.
After that, download .NET 6.0.16 Desktop Runtime.
Launch Protontricks, then select Muse Dash.
Opt for the default wineprefix.
Run winecfg by clicking on it.
Navigate to Libraries, expand Overrides, locate “version,” add it, and apply the changes.
Return to the menu, run the uninstaller.
Click Install, locate your .NET 6.0.16 Desktop Runtime, open it, install everything, and exit Protontricks.
MDMC Setup
Install the MDMC Setup available on the Muse Dash Modding Community Discord.
Include mdmc-installer.exe as a Non-Steam Game. Click on the Gear Icon, go to Properties, then Compatibility, and set it to use Proton 7.0-6.
Start mdmc-installer.exe via Steam. Select “Choose file” and find MuseDash.exe.
Press “Install Mod Loader” and close the installer after completion. You can remove mdmc-installer.exe from Steam now.
Now, you should be able to enjoy playing Muse Dash with Mods and Custom Charts.
