Gamerun

Tools for running games on Linux handheld devices.

Currently, gamerun assumes an AMD APU, the KDE desktop environment and the availability of ryzenadj. Because some of the operations gamerun executes are privileged, gamerun should be run SUID root.

Usage

gamerun is used as a wrapper around launching games on Linux. It can be used stand-alone, or in Steam's launch options. After the game exits, values for certain options can be restored.

-e <epp>    Set Energy Performance Preference
-g <fps>    Enable Gamescope with specified max FPS
-m <wxh@r>  Set display mode, e.g. '1920x1080@120'
-p <cores>  Park CPU cores, e.g. '4,5,6-11'
-t <tdp>    Set TDP (in Watts)
