# Getting Started

{% hint style="info" %}
**P4G Community Enhancement Pack was finalized on 19 April 2025.**

The pack still works, but it will no longer receive updates or support.\
Information on these pages may be outdated.

See the **Final Release FAQ** in **p4g-cep-docs.wacz** for more information.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**p4g-deck.cep.one will go offline on 31 December 2026.**

**P4G CEP will still be available for download on GameBanana and Nexus Mods.**\
**A complete archive of this site is now included with the project.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Setup and use of P4G CEP for Steam Deck is more complex and involved than on Windows.

Before starting, you should have a basic understanding of the KDE Plasma (Desktop Mode) environment and how to use the Dolphin file manager.

Make sure to **read all the directions carefully** before doing something you don't understand.
{% endhint %}

## Requirements

* A **Steam Deck** running the latest version of the SteamOS software
* An unmodified installation of **Persona 4 Golden** from Steam
  * Only English **text** language is supported
  * Both **English** and **Japanese** voices are supported
* A connected keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless)
* At least **7 GB of free space** on your Steam Deck's internal storage
  * If P4G is installed on the microSD card, at least **2 GB of free space** there as well

{% hint style="success" %}
An external display connected via a USB-C hub is highly recommended.

Installing P4G to the Steam Deck's **internal storage** is recommended.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
We do not provide support for pirated copies of the game.
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary>What if I'm using another Linux distro on my Steam Deck (e.g. Bazzite)?<br>What if I'm using a different handheld gaming PC (e.g. Legion Go)?<br>What about desktop Linux?</summary>

This guide only covers setup on **SteamOS** for the **Steam Deck**.

If you would like to set up P4G mods on a different OS or hardware, we suggest following the [**Beginner's Guide to Modding P4G for Steam Deck / Linux**](https://gamebanana.com/tuts/17474) which covers additional setups.
