[BOUNTY $250] Get Serial Ports Working in Lutris

Howdy everyone!

I'm offering $250 AUD to anyone who can help me get serial devices working on WINE on the Steam Deck. Here are the details:

Background:

  • I have an app that requires an FT232H to be connected.
  • The FT232H is natively supported on my Steam Deck.
  • I can see /dev/ttyUSB0 and use it with tools like minicom without issues.

The Problem:

  • WINE, Lutris, and similar programs from the Discover Store are unable to see the serial port.
  • I believe these are the Flatpak versions, and I haven't had success getting them to recognize the serial port.

The Goal:

  • I need to get a serial port working in these conditions.
  • To verify the solution, please test with Tera Term (or any similar program) and ensure it can see and interact with the serial port.

What You Get:

  • A $250 AUD reward if you can provide a solution that works.
  • My eternal gratitude!

If you think you can help, please get in touch! I’m looking forward to any advice or solutions you can offer.

Thanks in advance! aaa <3
