Just found this place, I dig it! I do gamedev on my Steam Deck, and I’m also a systems engineer. I have a repository of all sorts of Arch based things for pirates that are somewhat specific to Steam Deck ('cause Valve does some weird shit in the name of convenience, but I get it, people don’t buy this machine to be a laptop like I did).

Any who, now that I’ve found this place I may put together more of my scripts into an easier to digest format and throw it up on Codeberg or something.

For now, I’ll point you all towards a tool that I found on GitHub. I have a fork that I wrapped with a bash script to make life easier when it comes to grabbing FitGirl repacks. I’ve made a Pull Request to get it merged into the original repository, but my fork will probably be kept up to date more frequently (I don’t know the original maintainer).

My Fork: https://github.com/madamegaymes/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

Original tool: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

My PR: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader/pull/2

What does the tool do?

  1. You give it a FitGirl game URL (or several URLs)
  2. It scrapes all the fuckingfast direct download links
  3. Passes all that to python to download each part automatically

It probably isn’t bug-free, I made these tweaks for myself and just today decided to try to get it merged into the original tool. I have ideas on how to make the tool much, much easier to use, so feel free to let me know if you run into issues!

The README should have the details, but I can add more if something is not clear. I’m not sure what the average level of tech savvy is in this community yet.

    Hell yea! Glad to hear it.

    I’ve had some funny business with controllers, too. You might need to turn off Steam Input API for the built-in controller. Since it isn’t a Steam Game, I think it might mess with it a little.

    I have a BT controller that I use mostly, cause my Steam Deck pretty much lives in the dock, so I turned off Steam Input altogether. I had to do that any way in order to get the controller to work properly in emulators, and I bet that’s why I don’t see any issues in larger games like Elden Ring that I pirated.
