If you were to launch P4G in Game Mode now, Reloaded II would not launch and your mods would not be injected into the game. We need to create a shortcut to launch Reloaded II and have it load the game for us.
Open your /P4G-Mods/_Reloaded-II directory.
Right-click Reloaded-II.exe and select Add to Steam.
This will create a new entry for Reloaded-II.exe on Steam.
We don't just want to launch Reloaded II in Game Mode, we want it to run P4G with our mods!
Right-click Reloaded-II.exe in your Steam library and select Properties…
In the Shortcut tab, rename Reloaded-II.exe to Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded).
Click the empty square next to the shortcut name to open the Choose Icon file picker.
Navigate to /P4G-Mods/Artwork/ and select icon.png.
This will make Reloaded II launch P4G instead of just launching itself.
In the Shortcut tab, locate the Launch Options box.
If P4G is installed on the Steam Deck's internal storage, enter:
If P4G is installed on the microSD card instead, enter:
Replace <microsd-card-id> with the microSD card ID you found when setting the path to P4G.exe in Reloaded II. You should have saved it to a TXT file in /P4G-Mods/Notes/.
Just like P4G itself, we need to force Reloaded II to run with Proton 8.0-5.
Switch to the Compatibility tab.
Enable Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.
In the dropdown that appears, select Proton 8.0-5.
We've prepared some custom artwork for your Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) shortcut, so you won't confuse it with the vanilla P4G entry in your library.
Close the Properties window for Persona 4 Golden.
Make sure you have a Recent Games shelf in your Steam library.
If you don't, use the dropdown or add a new shelf for Recent Games.
Launch and immediately close Persona 4 Golden (Relodaed) in your Steam library.
This will expand the game's header art on the Recent Games shelf and move it all the way to the left.
Right-click the header and select Manage > Set custom artwork to open a file picker.
In the file picker, navigate to your /P4G-Mods/Artwork/ directory and select header.jpg.
Your header should immediately update.
Launch any game other than Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) in your Steam library.
This will collapse the game into its poster art (or lack thereof).
Right-click the poster and select Manage > Set custom artwork to open a file picker.
In the file picker, navigate to your /P4G-Mods/Artwork/ directory and select poster.jpg.
Your poster should immediately update.
Click on Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) in your Steam library to open its details page.
Right-click the empty hero at the top and select Set Custom Background to open a file picker.
In the file picker, navigate to your /P4G-Mods/Artwork/ directory and select hero.jpg.
Your hero should immediately update.
Right-click the hero again and select Set Custom Logo to open a file picker.
In the file picker, navigate to your /P4G-Mods/Artwork/ directory and select logo.png.
Your logo should immediately update.
P4G is now ready to play! Let's go over a few things before our first test run.
