Download a copy from web archive > - https://archive.org SLASH details SLASH batman-arkham-asylum-game-of-the-year-edition > 2. After extracting files, add `BmLauncher.exe` found in `Binaries` folder as a non-steam game > 3. Hit play button so it will generate files in steam's compatdata directory. Additonal files are required to install so just stop the game. > 4. In Steam, edit `BmLauncher.exe` by selecting `Properties` > `Target` > `Browse` > navigate to `_Redist` folder and select `vcredist_x86.exe` > - example: `/home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/vcredist_x86.exe` > 5. Hit play button to run and install vcredist which is for Visual C++ libraries > 6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 to install the other required libraries which are also under `_Redist` folder: > - `/home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/PhysX_9.08.14_9.09.0814_SystemSoftware.exe` > - `/home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/DirectX/DXSETUP.exe` > 7. Once done, install protontricks to add `d3dcompiler_47`: > ``` > # run commands via terminal > flatpak install com.github.Matoking.protontricks > flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks <game-id> d3dcompiler_47 > ``` > The `<game-id>` can be found in `/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/` directory. Usually the game you just added in steam will be the first directory when browsing it through Dolphin: > - navigate to this folder > right-click > select `Sort By` - `Modified` `Newest First`. > > 8. Repeat step 4 to add `BmLauncher.exe` back as the Target > 9. Make sure to force Steam Play compatability to Proton-GE. Latest version (`GE-Proton9-1`) works fine on this game. > 10. Hit play and enjoy.

Looks like this requires an invite code before you can download the APK. Not yet sure, but it may require (cheap?) payment to access content. I wanted to know if this app can be sideloaded to Chromecast google TV. Has anyone tried it?
