Hey thanks a ton for making this! Is it possible for users to replace the desktop backpack icon with something else? (like something relevant to the game etc.)
Hey Mike, yes, it's possible. Please check out the FAQ question #2 to learn how to do it yourself. Otherwise come around on our Discord and get in contact with me, I can compile you an individual version to match your game.
Hey, thanks you like it! :-) Yes, there are reference games on Steam right now. As the tool NESbag 2 and GBCbag 2 technically the same, I share you to two games that got an update on Steam the last days:
On our discord is a developer around who is testing his GameBoy Color game with GBCbag right now. Because the public release of GBCbag was only a few days ago, his Steam game isn't up to date yet, but will follow. :-)
About the Windows version: The developer at Lowtek Games and also another dev confirmed, that NESbag 2 and GBCbag 2 are fully compatible with the Steam Deck.
Compile for Linux works well too. As there are to many different Distributions and possible application variants to share it, I didn't pre-compiled it right now.
The macOS version uploaded to Steam also works well. A standalone shared version for macOS needs an Apple Developer Account to sign the .app package, funny enough this process isn't needed for share a game via Steam directly (I assume Valve is handle it somehow).

Oh wow I would love that actually, thanks so much! What’s the best way to reach you?
I found out there's no email available here. If you have find me on Bluesky (prefered way) or Instagram via :-) https://www.eastpixel.de/en/contact/
Ok great, I'm unable to DM you on BlueSky for some reason so I sent you a DM on instagram. Thanks!
Thanks, will watch out for the Bluesky settings and check Insta. :-)
Looks amazing! Do you have a reference game successfully deployed to Steam as an example? I'd like to use this for my catalogue of games.

Awesome, thanks Chris!
Excellent tool to make standalone .exe files from Game Boy roms! User-friendly, with lots of customization options and controller support.
Thanks for testing and your kind reply! ☺️ Great that it's working for you.
