Steam Deck Modded
Apologies in advance if I'm repeating a topic, while looking into this I haven't found any answers specifically in regard to what I'm looking for here.

I got myself a steam deck a month ago, and I've been wanting to play P5R with mods on it.

I know the last update(1.04) broke everything mod related. On my PC I've just been running it all through a version 1.03b executable, but trying to do the same on steam deck does not work(most likely due to it being linux - I know very little about making things work on linux).

I read somebody say somewhere that some of the mods work now if they've been updated, so I just spent some time trying to test mods to see what would crash the game. That said, after turning ALL mods (that I can) off, it still crashes when I boot through reloaded-ii(as in the loading "Take Your Time" symbol appears for maybe 5 seconds and then the game shuts down). I don't know if its because of the mods that you cant disable(aka the emulation framework/input hook/etc mods, theres like 12 of them that seem to be mandatory) is broken/out of date, but anytime I try to manually remove them from my mod folder and try to boot the modded game through reloaded, it forces me to reinstall those mods. I don't know if reloaded will boot without those mods.

So basically, I'm wondering if A.) is anybody running the game with mods on 1.04 without crashing, or B.) is there a way to play a rolled back version of P5R on the steam deck specifically? I have the feeling that the answer to both at present is almost certainly no but I just want to see if anybody with more skills at modding and/or are more familiar working on the steam deck's os have figured something out. Of course any other solutions not related to those questions are welcome as well. Thanks to anybody willing to take the time to read this and/or responding to it.

I'll also be making a post on gamebanana asking about this too if I don't find any answers here after a few days - just saying before somebody complains about that.

EDIT 1: I also forgot to mention that I've installed reloaded just fine on my steam deck, and I was testing the mods on my PC. Reloaded is working as intended on PC and the Deck, it's just not booting P5R on either device on 1.04.

A) Yes! I am doing so myself. 1.04 should work fine. The Persona modding discord said it should be working fine since mid September.

I recommend asking the Persona Modding discord that you can find a link to on the Gamebanana. I know that reinstalling Reloaded-II can help in many cases. There is also a specific modding guide for the Steam Deck about installing Reloaded-II on it. I recommend simply starting fresh on Reloaded-II on your deck and attempting to launch it with no mods installed just to see if a mod might be causing the issue at all.

I'll try a fresh install, and I'll check out that discord server and see what I can find there. Thanks for the advice!
