Oversteer is the unofficial official app for setting up Racing Wheel in Linux. It's accomplished with an unofficial official driver new-lg4ff of the same author that i hope will reach the Linux kernel nearby at some point, since most Linux games work on this driver, but not on the support that the kernel itself has, since this driver is more versatile and includes support for several devices at the same time.

The author @berarma express his intention to create an appimage, but seem to be complicated and it's possible that he could need help on that task. Some years ago he said:

"I've still not given up doing an AppImage and while I wouldn't use it, some people has repeatedly asked for it.".

Also, I do not forget to mention that can be launched as a console app: oversteer --help. That is my really use case, because this app and the driver (new-lg4ff) are the last piece of software not really portable in my setup. I think the driver can not be make portable so this would actually be the 'last piece'.

This seems like a challenge because is probably that make the app portable will required a change in the code of the app, as it really work at close to the specific hardware, but you have a lot of experience, would you be willing to attempt to help with this one?

I'm not great at making appimages of python apps, the only one I have is this one and the build started to fail because it seems the pip package broke.

Ohh well, please not worried. I guess someone will do it at some point or else I can continue installing it from the sources, as I have done before, since I see it as if it were part of the driver itself.
