AurorAI vs CheatDeck

AurorAI is a trainer manager for PC games that integrates trainers for supported titles and manages the latest trainer without requiring individual downloads. Its listed tools include AI-guided cheat creation, AI-enhanced trainers, AI-powered game assistance, and an in-game overlay. Cheat Happens says AurorAI works offline and is available in 15 languages. Users can choose portable or installer downloads, and the page includes instructions for Steam Deck use. A free mobile app can control trainer and editor options and supports over 3,500 trainers. The product is listed for Android, iOS, and Windows, with automatic updates and a hybrid delivery model. The free plan provides unlimited AI usage without a membership. Cheat Happens says its trainers are not designed for online or multiplayer modes and does not support their use there. Its privacy policy lists collection of IP addresses, known installed game library data, user interactions, and running process information; it says known game libraries are scanned, not the whole PC or hard drive.

CheatDeck is a free, GPL-3.0 Decky Loader plugin for Steam Deck that launches sidecar programs and manages game launch options. It can start a selected .exe or .bat alongside a game in the same Proton or Wine environment, then stop it when the game exits. Its Language setting assigns one locale code to both LANG and HOST_LC_ALL. Advanced controls cover desktop behavior, FSYNC, WineD3D, compatibility-data redirection, and audio latency. Custom Options accept environment assignments, prefix commands, and arguments before or after %command%. Unsupported shell syntax or unclear launch options make a document read-only to prevent unsafe partial edits. Optional Lossless Scaling and OptiScaler presets require their corresponding Decky plugins. Installation uses Decky Loader Developer Mode and CheatDeck.zip from a release or nightly build. Some sidecars need runtime dependencies installed with protontricks.
