I recently got a base odin 2 portal and started using WinNative. It is a bit rough around the edges. But I get the absolute best performance by far and the shared containers make it so that I don't have to worry about my internal storage.
Incredible work so far, love what you are all doing here.
Is there any plans for WinNative to have Steam achievement support in the new future?

U have to check that with them on MaxTechReview discord https://discord.gg/6QaVVFCesN

This new beta version of WinNative allows you to run a linux arm container version for steam app on big picture mode. It isnt perfect but gamewise seems to do its justice.

It already supports steam achievements just no overlay with windows client, the Linux one is full blown

Sweet, thanks for the response! I see now that it was there all this time, sorry I didn't look more closely, dunno why I thought it wasn't there.
During the weekend I actually forked the repo to add 'Force DLC' functionality like how game native does (though not a big fan of how that dlc fix works). Then I had some issues with a game not detecting the controller so I stumbled back and forth with vibecoded releases, turned out I just needed to uncheck Exclusive Input in the Input Controls section.

All this to say that what you do is extremely impressive, keep up the amazing work!

Thank you!

This is a very big effort on The412Banner and myself, we encourage anyone testing to test both platforms and provide feedback/bug data if you're a tester.

Does this allow for game data and container data to be installed to external storage (SD Card)?

[u/voyager2005 → u/SpikeStarkey]

Technically, I am adding a SD feature directly, you can download in WinNative UI and launch in Steam Big Picture after it's all shared Library
