• Latest Stable Release

AppImage made using sharun, which makes it extremely easy to turn any binary into a portable package without using containers or similar tricks.

This AppImage bundles everything and should work on any linux distro, even on musl based ones.

It is possible that this appimage may fail to work with appimagelauncher, I recommend these alternatives instead:

• AM am -i cartridges or appman -i cartridges

• dbin dbin install cartridges.appimage

• soar soar install cartridges

This appimage works without fuse2 as it can use fuse3 instead, it can also work without fuse at all thanks to the uruntime

raison d'être

• Usage of portable folders except cache breaks the searching directories for games, even if you select it in file-picker afterwards.
• Search-provider integration works only on Gnome (same as upstream) & it depends on:
  • the desktop file being present (which AppImage managers like soar & am already take care of).
    Desktop file needs to be named page.kramo.Cartridges.desktop for it to work.
    The only exception is the detection for desktop file cartridges-AM.desktop in local directories, which is added as a support for am AppImage manager.
  • the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable having the XDG_DATA_HOME in path, which the AppImage will detect if not present + warn about & suggest the solution.
  • This operation won't be performed if search integration files already exist in /usr/share/ or /usr/local/share/, as it's assumed that the packager and/or system-administrator already handled that integration to the system. Modifying XDG_DATA_DIRS in that case is not needed.
  • If you use the AppImage portable folders feature, you only need to use portable appimage-filename.config and appimage-filename.cache folder to make the search-provider functionality work.
    • Those are the files that need to be in host's ${XDG_DATA_HOME} for search-provider functionality to work, which you can delete after the app uninstallation, along with other app dotfiles:
      • ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/gnome-shell/search-providers/page.kramo.Cartridges.SearchProvider.ini
      • ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/dbus-1/services/page.kramo.Cartridges.SearchProvider.service
