Decky Plugins I Use

I removed some that gave me trouble after offical Steam Deck OS updates.

  1. Animation Changer: A boot/suspend animation managment plugin.
  2. PowerTools: Power tweaks for powerusers.
  3. Emuchievements: Viewing RetroAchievements progress.
  4. Game Theme Music: Plays theme songs on game pages.
  5. Controller Tools: Displays current battery % and charging status.
  6. HLTB for Deck: Shows you the game length.
  7. Deck Settings: Displays community-driven game compatibility, settings, and configurations.
  8. SteamGridDB: Customize your library with user-submitted images or local files.
  9. ProtonDB Badges: Display tappable ProtonDB badges on game pages.
  10. Decky lossless frame generation vulkan: Lossless Frame Generating Plugin. Needs paid steam app.
  11. CSS Loader: Dynamically loads themes developed with CSS into the Steam UI.
  12. Decky-Framegen: Manages OptiScaler. Enhances upscaling and enables frame generation with DirectX 12 Games
  13. EmuDecky: Official EmuDeck Decky plugin.
  14. Fantastic: Fan controls.
  15. DeckSP: Full audio effects DSP and EQ. with per-game settings.

    16. Note: I have issues with DeckSP. It works great in handheld mode. But, the audio breaks when you try to redock the system. A reboot fixes it. I usually have this plugin disabled.
