If you get an error when downloading wine & winetricks, you may need to do this:
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

A video showing how to install THUGPro on the Steam Deck.
I HIGHLY recommend you use a USB-C hub with a keyboard at the very least.

Text guide:
Power - Desktop mode
Settings - Users - Set a password (for sudo commands)

sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman -S wine winetricks
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-thugpro
WINEARCH="win32" winecfg
winetricks dotnet20 dotnet40 mdx vcrun2013
winetricks -f dotnet46
extract THUG2's ISO to a folder (or mount it)
wine ~/Downloads/THUG2/setup.exe (or wherever it's located)
wine ~/Downloads/THUGProSetup.exe

Download Lutris through the Discover app.
Add locally installed game, Runner:Wine
Game options:
- Executable: ~/.wine-thugpro/drive_c/users/deck/AppData/Local/THUG Pro/THUGProLauncher.exe
(or THUGPro.exe if you want to skip the launcher)
- Wine Prefix: ~/.wine-thugpro
Close steam, right click THUG Pro on Lutris: 'Create steam shortcut'

If you want to add some artwork, open steam.
Right click on game to add an icon, right click on the banner to add banner atwork/logo
Add to a collection, click on that collection and right click on the game to add cover art.
If you want to add a wide cover art, launch it and close it, then check the 'recently played', where it should show a blank cover art to replace.

Return to Gaming Mode, and check the 'Non-Steam Apps' category, or a collection if you added it to one.

If you get the 'Restart and Update' error message, download my update script and run it:
git clone https://github.com/coolh02/thugproupdater
pacman -S nodejs npm
npm install crc-32
node thugproupdater/updater.js ~/.wine-thugpro/drive_c/users/deck/AppData/Local/THUG\ Pro
To stop it from auto 'updating' (breaking the files), press CTRL+ALT+D in the 'gamepad bindings' tab,, you'll know it worked when you see the debug info and an update window will no longer appear when launching the game.

Thanks for reading, have fun! ❤

Disclaimer:
The steam deck uses an immutable root partition, which means everything not in
/home will be wiped each update. Disabling read-only mode allows you to write to it, but it will still be wiped.
Packages installed (Wine and Winetricks) will be in the root partition, so they will be wiped with updates. Lutris uses its own version of wine, and the game is installed in /home/deck/.wine-thugpro, so it will still function without them.
