Thanks for watching! Let me know what retro games you are playing right now. Also, let me know if you have thought on how I can improve my content and any suggestions for future videos!!
Thank you. I just got my steam deck this month, have followed the emu deck tutorial numerous times and nothing was working nor did the games appear. MVP right here
Awesome video man. Almost no other channels go into detail about the bios files only mentioning how to find games which is pretty straight forward, but usually leave out bios files
So many people put up videos and skip pass so much thinking you know something and then it screws it up but thank you for taking your time way easier to understand
@@gerboog huh? entitlement? i want to play a game thats amazing and that the creators wanted people to play but i can’t buy it anymore from the original company then it should be fine to download it. which i do anyway. plus i have bought thousands of games anyway. but i refuse to pay the insane prices that a reseller is charging for certain “valuable “ games.
This completely makes sense! But I have never used this operating system so I didn’t even think to try this. Didn’t even realize they were zip files. Thanks man, you are my hero
You sir, saved me from throwing my Steam deck out the window - I was so angry with my purchase for weeks until I watched this in a last hope. You’re a legend!
You should use the steam rom manager to move your emulation games out of desktop mode. It looks much more visually pleasing and you can select your own artwork for the roms also. Makes the whole UI look way better.
Thanks for confirming this approach. I thought this was the issue but i was reluctant on extracting the files from the 7zip folders when some of the other Bios 7zip folders worked while in the zip folders. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this. I’m about to start playing on my emudeck but overwhelmed with this iso and bios linggo and where to place them. More so with where to research and “acquire them” in the first place! Thank you!
@@manny5292 yeah I just typed them in on google. And then it took me to some Reddit forums and they had a list of trusted sites but I can’t remember from the top of my head.
Bro you help me so much with this thank you and couldn’t use my usb for some reason but I just downloaded everything on the internet on steam deck thank you again
BRO THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH! I got my deck yesterday night and I was up til 2 am last night trying to figure this out and gave up and went to bed pissed. I wake up this am and this is the first vid I see that helps me😂 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dude thank you so much got my steam deck been wanting to play emulated games couldn’t figure it out and every other video just skipped past this little detail.
Awesome brother just got done downloading emudeck yesterday and getting ready to download the rest today and this video was helpful just in case I run into any problems. Subscribed and liked! Cheers
OMGOSH, thank you so much. I had no issued with GBA. I guess cause it’s so small and older tech. But I couldn’t even get Dreamcast to open, and PS3 wouldn’t even show up on my list. I had all but given up. But now everything works.🎉 I’m sure I made too many copies, but I don’t care LOL I was not going to rebuy all my games, yet again. Thank you, and good energies your way :D
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I did everything pretty much as they said but because I didn't do it from a USB or SD it make it a little complicated. I downloaded everything including roms directly from the deck so I had to manually put everything in their right files. I had the roms in the right place but didn't add the bios. Once I did as you did it worked great thank you 🙏🏼
thank you so much dude, i had my bios files in the data folders for the actual emulators and not emudecks bios folder and i was so confused as to why it didnt work lol
This is the most useful tutorial because the majority of jackasses just said throw the bios the bios folder. Yuzu doesn't even use bios, and I don't even know where to put bios for Retroarch. Most of the Emudeck guide on TH-cam are basically useless.
I don’t get it. I am stuck in the part where I have to transfer the Playsattion 2 bios folder. I just don’t see that same folder anywhere in that section so I can’t do it. Edit: Actually neverrmind I found the folder that I need it. But unfortunately I continue it doing what you said and it doesn’t work still. It does tell me that I have the bios well now but for some reason the screen just ends up black and nothing shows up.
Thank you I have been out of emulation for years forgot how to do this you help me with bios problem feel stupid had feeling this is what I had to was not sure I have emulation in years forgot
The only one I'm confused about is dreamcast games, because they come in several files, do I need to dump the whole folder or just the files inside because audio tracks can be named they same thing across different games.
The fact that emudeck doesn't download a bios for duckstation seems like a massive oversight to me. I spent the past hour looking everywhere for why it wouldn't work
The only reason EmuDeck is legal is because it was built from the ground up without any reused code or copyrighted material. If they provided the bios with the program, that would be copyrighted content and they’d almost definitely get sued by whoever owns the bios they included.
This is NEW INFORMATION! I cannot wait to go home and see if I can get GTA3 and other games from my youth to run. I'm crossing my fingers, I will be back with results! Also, I laughed a good one at the Barbie game LOL
I dtried doing what u said but on EMUDECK says im missing bios for Nes, sega saturn, ps1,ps2 ,. Where how do i get bios for roms i have,. I bought sd card fr amazon,. Batocera and it stopped working after couple days.. makes sence now, bios is missing,. No wonder phuaqr wont play,. Idk where to find bios now🙄,. I am such fool at this but i luv my retro games,. Good times/memories,..
The shit stupid af ou I can't go into detail with the bios and roms mf just tell us this shit is complicated af it should be simple ppl wanna play their games
Gutted still don’t work for me, I extracted my files but I still can’t run it. Also what is the emulation station? I have something called emudeck? I also downloaded PCSX2 on my steam desktop hoping I could just use it like that but when I go back into steam home and click on my pcsx2 emulator it still say “I don’t have the bios?!” But I got the file in the bios folders and the rom files in the Rom folder under the ps2 folder. I’ve spent 2 days on it and still no closer :(
But, with the multiple BIOS that you would need for each of the emulators, would it confuse them seeing as all of those files would be scattered about in that folder?
I have everything set up right but 4 some reason it just is a black screen and doesn’t actually load the game. Bouta just give up and go back to using it on my pc cause I have no idea what’s wrong wit it
I'm confused and they don't make this really clear. Some system bios, like the ds bios has several files. Do you just dump all them files into the bios folder and mix them up with other system bios, that may also have several files? So no putting them in separate folders.. just dump the lot in one messy bios folder? my PS2 bios have a ton of files. Which ones do you use? all of them and let the emulator use what it wants? aaarggh also, does emu-deck use .7z files or do you have to unzip them?
I've got the Bios and roms installed... but haven't figured out how to get the emu deck to run in gaming mode! LOL. Would be easier to figure out but the WiFi at my place I live? Steam deck auto-kicks itself off. Questionable internet connection with MY Motel. But I think I figured out the problem and just need to go to public access with a 'clean' internet connection to get the LAST step done which is to set up Emu deck to run in GAME MODE...
I’ve been losing frames and have graphical issues with Barbie Horse Adventures - Wild Horse Rescue. Any tips for a fellow Barbie Horse Adventures game lover?
I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. If I boot up in game mode, it stays on the steam deck load screen; it’ll boot up in desktop steam mode, but with problems (like won’t let me exit out of the game unless I force shut down the deck).
@QuietCaven Great Tuturial... I been using emulators and roms on my samsung phones for years I now have PS2 Emulator Bios and Roms installed into my Sansung S8 Ultra tablet. Quick question..... Is it the same steps as running emulators and roms on my phone?
Still can't get it to work :( roms and bios are set up in the right location, as soon as I choose the game to start playing I just get a black screen until I close out of the emulator for PCXS2QT on Steam Deck
quietCavan! what if everything was presume to be install correctly! i check my ps2 bios which were added and roms were added and extracted but somehow the game loads then the screen goes black? any idea what can be the problem?
What do you need for PS3 files to properly play? I added the pup dat. file and then when I try to play games it will start the "PPU Module Upload" Screen and then go to black screen but nothing after that.
So is there a video on running pc games iso’s on a steam deck as I’ve still got my pc games ISO’s that I made back in the early 2000s so I could patch them to run without using the games cd or dvd every time and now that this marvel has been made I can hopefully play all my old pc games like hit an agent 47 and dues ex on a handheld device while sitting on the couch instead of a desk chair in front of a pc screen
I'm livid pissed rn. On the VERY LAST STEP and the emulator needed to run the fucking rom isn't showing up when you click "add non steam game to library" its as if I'm being punished for my past life or something
Yeah, it took me so long to get all the roms and transfer them to an sd then get them to work. My entire rom collection was on an old computer so I had to start from scratch. Days later I have it all working

Bro really had Barbie horse rescue... Hilarious. Great vid
🤣
if an old game isn’t available to purchase or stream then it shouldn’t be illegal to download them.
I mean, how else can I play the original windwaker and Pokémon emerald?

Its not a illegal to emulate a game you previously purchased
@@gerboog nah I think I'll just pirate it
@@gerboog Remember: downloading ROMs is illegal, but not a criminal offence.
Thank you! I was messing with the BIOS files for ages but it was the game that was in a zip file and needed extracted!

where is this steam rom manager?
@@jitteryj6272 It is in Emudeck's tools
If you have thousands of games it’s a mess. I prefer just using emulation station and it’s beautiful inside there.

Can you help me .. This is the part I'm still having issues with
Thanks. Yea no one video I saw was clear over whether you needed to organize the bios and Roms into subfolders. Saves me a lot of guessing work
Saw this couple weeks before my deck arrived just so ik how to operate it and this has helped the hassle of not getting them to work, great vid!!

Why won’t anyone make a video on Symlinks for Emudeck?? Is it not possible or something?
The fact that emudeck doesn't download a bios for duckstation seems like a massive oversight to me. I spent the past hour looking everywhere for why it wouldn't work
It isn't an oversight, they literally can't do it without getting blown out by Sony.
The only reason EmuDeck is legal is because it was built from the ground up without any reused code or copyrighted material. If they provided the bios with the program, that would be copyrighted content and they’d almost definitely get sued by whoever owns the bios they included.

I still dont get dont even know where het bios from been trying to get skate3 ps3 to emulate got the game but no body telling me where get bios from
I changed as cards I copied everything from my sd card and nothing is working now need help
When I go into the steam rom manager to do the parsers it like freezes I can’t click anything or close any tabs out any ideas?

What happens if it says it can't write into my sd card? It’s formatted in fat ex
How do you get the emulation station on your steamdeck menu I’ve downloaded a bunch of emulators but have no idea how to get them to run 😢
How did you get bios rom?
quietCavan! what if everything was presume to be install correctly! i check my ps2 bios which were added and roms were added and extracted but somehow the game loads then the screen goes black? any idea what can be the problem?
I’m so sick of everyone making videos and not actually showing where and how to install the Roms…. Just show it!

So if I need bios for another system do I just drop it into the same bios file along with the ps2 one. It would be hella cluttered I think
