Space Quest II VGA Deluxe Remake for SteamDeck

I got the Linux build of the Space Quest II - Deluxe VGA fan remake working on the SteamDeck the other day and thought I would share what I had to do.

• Download the newest Linux build (SQ2_V2_0_Linux.rar ) from https://infamousadventures.itch.io/space-quest-ii-vga-remake
• Copy it over to your steam deck using something like scp.
• These steps can be done via ssh or Desktop mode, among other ways,
• Create a directory to store the game and cd into there. (e.g. cd ~/Games/misc)
• Then unarchive the download with unrar x SQ2_V2_0_Linux.rar

Create a Reading Ruler from iTerm2 on macOS

These is the rough technique that I used to create a functional, multi-puspose reading ruler out of iTerm2. A video of the results can be found on YouTube.

1. Install Iterm2
2. Install Homberew

• /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

3. Use homebrew to install GNU sleep, becuase this supports the infinity aergument, which BSD sleep does not. We will ue this to keep the ruler open idefintely.

• brew install coreutils

4. Launch iTerm2
