I’m considering buying a steam deck, which runs Linux, but also wish to play Mariokart 8 Deluxe. I’ve seen it be done, so I know its possible, but does anybody know about the DLC/ playing online?

Thanks in advance

    I have MK8 running in an emulator on my Deck with almost all DLCs. Online used to work using local LAN multiplayer (the emulator would redirect the LAN lobby to a server on the web). For multiplayer to work, all players must have the exact same version of MK8 running in their emulator.

    Since the emulator’s development was shut down by a certain company, online multiplayer functionality needs some config changes to carry on working, and the lobbies are nowhere near as full as they used to be…

    Edit: IIRC, there is a button you must hold while on the MK8 menu to enter local LAN mode
