Got my hands on a Steam Deck, and getting a playable build on it was surprisingly easy. Copy it in Desktop mode, add it to Steam as a non-Steam game, make it use the Steam runtime (for SDL), and map the controls using layouts. And it's fast: 500-600fps uncapped (CPU rasterizer).

Was able to build A Scavenging Trip for Windows XP 32-bit using rust9x by @seritools.bsky.social with 0 issues. Didn't even need to follow all the instructions, just changed a couple of paths and it straight worked. The minimal dependencies probably helped.
