Can the .desktop file be made to automatically ask for sudo priviledge? I remember gameconqueror doing that. It was confusing to me when I was stuck in the splash frame.

Or is there a way to make it run without needing sudo priviledge?

the launcher now runs CE from ~/.local/share/cheatengine/. Drop your own scripts into autorun/ there - a script with the same name as a packaged one replaces it, everything else keeps loading from the read-only install, and package updates flow through automatically. A regular-file main.lua in that dir fully overrides startup, upstream-style

could we do something about the ownership of /usr/lib/cheatengine ? since users will want to add files in there & modify the scripts, requiring root to write in that dir is very painful. maybe creating a cheatengine group? rather than this whole dir being recursively owned by root:root.
