DUDE your shortcut method was SO MUCH EASIER than mine. I manually added "shadps4" to steam than added in quotes the path to the .ini file. Your version as well as how to downgrade the shad version (emudeck has 0.5.1 to 0.5.0 which runs better) was so helpful I was having issues and this solved it.
Thank you for your positive feedback, both of these methods are very helpful to us with the current state of ShadPS4 and reinforces our ability to use it on the Steam Deck with more success. Have a great day and please stay tuned to the channel for more videos
Hello! Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial. I’m currently having an issue getting games to launch, the screen becomes all glitched out then crashes. My emudeck directory is on an sd card and I saw another comment saying they were having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
I had install the update that allows shadps4 via emu deck but when shadps4 is selected and when I click on install it gives me a warning that says error installing shadps4.
Thank you for your positive feedback, Bloodborne is mostly playable and ive tested a lot of areas and bosses in my previous videos but we may be required to restart after a period of time. The longest I've played without a crash on ShadPS4 0.5.1 is 1 hour. Please stay tuned to the channel for more further Bloodborne gameplays with ShadPS4 on the Steam Deck 🙏
So, wich is currenlty the best shadPs4 version to run Bloodborne on the steam deck? Because i've read that the latest main versions broke the performance right?
Mostly although that depends on a few things. - The game should be installed to the internal drive - 4G VRAM applied in the BIOS - Apply a mod and build which I go over in more detail in my other guide here - th-cam.com/video/LkTr17HkjlQ/w-d-xo.html Try it all out and let us know your experience if you get chance, have a great one! ❤
Emulator needs more work for that to happen and the Steam Deck being able to run the game at all let alone 30fps is a miracle in and of itself. Hardware will get better over time too.
If you think about it, the PS4 is more powerful than the Steam Deck. Considering the PS4 plays Bloodborne at 30fps while the Deck has to run it through an emulator, expect lesser performance.
@ the Deck has 1.6 TFLOPS vs 1.84 in the PS4. However it goes back to the original answer of it won’t do 60fps through an emulator considering the PS4 only does 30.
Thank you for your comment! For Bloodborne, I highly recommend using the build linked in the description alongside watching my Bloodborne ShadPS4 guide here to learn a lot more in depth and how to get the most out of the game - th-cam.com/video/LkTr17HkjlQ/w-d-xo.html
@ yah I’m personally doing it all via emudeck I could just swap the application until it’s fixed also got the games to show up on emulation station (es-de)
Does emulation station support shadps4? When I try to run a game says the emulator is missing but I'm able to run the game shortcut from steam. I added it as a non steam game.
@@DeckWizard thanks for sharing appreciate the help. If I come across a fix I’ll drop it in the comment section. Might be a bug since it’s a new feature.
I tried it on my arch laptop with a 1060ti and I was getting some... artifacts? Like polygons shooting out of the body, but reloading the area fixed it. I just installed today. I'll let you know how it runs on my deck once the files are done copying over...
losing my mind,i swear im doing something wrong. my shadps4 just won’t start at all from either steam or the executable in the emulation/tools/launcher folder, am i insane? or did i miss a step?
The Last Guardian still needs more work, here is my latest video with the recent progress on the Steam Deck - th-cam.com/video/UUVoYCGpeGU/w-d-xo.html Stay tuned to the channel for more updates as they arrive
I've installed the game fine on my steam deck, but I can't enter anything on the enter name part at the beginning of the game to continue further? How do I fix that??
@DeckWizard yeah that didn't work and doesn't register anything? I just fixed it though by using my bluetooth keyboard, so all good. Tha ks for the vid!
Are you talking about the folder for sys modules? That is automatically populated and we must back up our system modules ourselves from our jailbroken ps4.

Anyone knows a vid to downgrade shadps4 for blood borne to work better on steam deck? I’m using the emudeck default one but it hard to fight bosses when the fps go from 30 to 10 to 5 to 20
@@DeckWizard excuse me im having a hard time understanding github, how can i get the version shown in the video? i cant seem to find it in neither of the links in the description.
Yes! This will work on all Steam Deck models, Bazzite handhelds and Linux systems 😊 If you do happen to try it out, it would be great if you could share your experience with us at some point in the future ❤️

For anyone curious, make sure to use the build shows in this video as the latest build has stability/performance issues for some reason.
More like completely broken and wont even launch the game at all.
@ The game launched for me, it just ran like crap.
@@jadenpokemon8952 Guess its jyst me then I get nothing but a glitched out screen that looks like a mixture of static and the matrix. 🤣
Dude this is so helpful I get my steam deck oled soon so this will be awesome to emulate these

@DeckWizard o shit, thank you!
How do I get the sound to work on bloodbourne and gravity rush remastered also gravity rush all the boxes are in blank from subtitles @@DeckWizard
Dumb question does bloodborne run at a mostly stable 30 fps.
Mostly although that depends on a few things.
- The game should be installed to the internal drive
- 4G VRAM applied in the BIOS
- Apply a mod and build which I go over in more detail in my other guide here - th-cam.com/video/LkTr17HkjlQ/w-d-xo.html
Try it all out and let us know your experience if you get chance, have a great one! ❤
any chance performance on bloodborne will go up to 60fps?
Emulator needs more work for that to happen and the Steam Deck being able to run the game at all let alone 30fps is a miracle in and of itself.
Hardware will get better over time too.
If you think about it, the PS4 is more powerful than the Steam Deck. Considering the PS4 plays Bloodborne at 30fps while the Deck has to run it through an emulator, expect lesser performance.
@@rich531PS4 is not more powerful... It has maybe better bandwidth and optimisations, but GPU and are weaker in PS4.
@ the Deck has 1.6 TFLOPS vs 1.84 in the PS4. However it goes back to the original answer of it won’t do 60fps through an emulator considering the PS4 only does 30.
When i go in my shardps4 folder then there is no sys_modules, there is only inputConfig, savedata, config.toml and config.toml.bak. what should I do
Run shadps4 once and it will create the folders.
did u solved it?
Question what should i do if idont have the shortcuts folder in the ps4 roms folder?
Create it, should work
Just to note latest update on shadps4 lowered performance on bloodborne on steam deck hope a update fixes it
Thank you for your comment! For Bloodborne, I highly recommend using the build linked in the description alongside watching my Bloodborne ShadPS4 guide here to learn a lot more in depth and how to get the most out of the game - th-cam.com/video/LkTr17HkjlQ/w-d-xo.html
@ yah I’m personally doing it all via emudeck I could just swap the application until it’s fixed also got the games to show up on emulation station (es-de)
@ hmm my reply keeps getting deleted
This reply is coming through fine, perhaps a spotty Internet connection or device? Please can you try again?
@@DeckWizard nah it’s TH-cam it’s probably removed my comment, I mentioned e m u d e c k and es de
Anyone else having problems with it crashing once you get to the character creation screen?
bloodborne doesnt show up in my steam rom manager even though i created a shortcuts folder and pasted the shortcut
I can’t make it work on the ROG Ally but it goes smoothly on the Steam Deck, how is it possible ?
Does emulation station support shadps4? When I try to run a game says the emulator is missing but I'm able to run the game shortcut from steam. I added it as a non steam game.
I have tried looking around but I don't think it is working yet, perhaps someone else can chime in here with a better answer.
@@DeckWizard thanks for sharing appreciate the help. If I come across a fix I’ll drop it in the comment section. Might be a bug since it’s a new feature.
Does the latest Shad run Bloodborne any better??
I tried it on my arch laptop with a 1060ti and I was getting some... artifacts? Like polygons shooting out of the body, but reloading the area fixed it. I just installed today. I'll let you know how it runs on my deck once the files are done copying over...

@DeckWizard thanks a lot!
I've installed the game fine on my steam deck, but I can't enter anything on the enter name part at the beginning of the game to continue further? How do I fix that??
Have you tried Steam and X to bring up the keyboard in gaming mode?
@DeckWizard yeah that didn't work and doesn't register anything? I just fixed it though by using my bluetooth keyboard, so all good. Tha ks for the vid!
Same problem as others. I'm not seeing a sys module folder. Pls update
Nevermind. Figured it out. Had to run the Shadps4 emulator first, and then all those files showed up including the sys modules.
I only see 4 things in shadPS4, not able to find sys_modules
Did you resolve this? All the files for the Shadps4 environment should show up as expected.
Perhaps try a different build with the method shown.
@@DeckWizard i am having this same issue....
same :(
Are you talking about the folder for sys modules? That is automatically populated and we must back up our system modules ourselves from our jailbroken ps4.
Im having the same issue with only 1 folder being in the shadps4 folder
Really confusing because all my emulation stuff is installed on SD Card.
All I get when launching bloodborne is a screen that looks like glitched out static. Guess I wasted that hour.
can u try infamous second son on steam deck please
Infamous Second Son won't boot currently, as soon as its showing progress I'll make sure to showcase it on the channel ❤️
The game runs very bad on my steam deck oled almots 10 fps all the time, any tip to improve the performance
Change the build version if you haven’t already, I am having those issues as well and I have a feeling it’s likely due to that.

When i click: emudeck dextop, the file opens in kate, how do i fix that?
Are you making sure to double click from your downloads folder directly?
In rare cases, we can right click on the file > Properties and make sure "is executable" is checked.
@@DeckWizard it works when the installer is on the desktop.

Thank you for your support, have a great day!
@ You got it brother!
When I click the shad sh file nothing happens. Same with the app image.
Which SteamOS version are you running? And which branch? Stable or Beta?
You could try replacing the app image in applications with another one from github linked in the description for 0.5.1 and see if that fixes it.
Please stay in touch regarding this, thank you❤️
@@DeckWizard replacing the appimage did nothing. I'm on steamos Holo 3.5.7
Honestly not sure about stable vs beta. How do i know/change it?
HoloISO? How come you're on that for your Steam Deck?
This will be a large contributing factor and I highly recommend getting your Steam Deck on SteamOS 3.6.20 Stable which is the Official Steam Deck Operating System.
@@DeckWizard i don't tend to update my machines often. How do i go about getting on SteamOS 3.6.20 Stable?
@@DeckWizard just checked and it says i'm up to date. On stable. swapped to beta and it still wont open.
Could you do one for ps3 please 🙏🏽
PS3 doesn't run nearly as well on the steam deck in most cases. this is because Sony made the ps3s architecture very hard to penetrate. meanwhile the PS4 is like a proprietary OS. This "emulator" isn't exactly emulating the way a dolphin would, its behaving more like Wine or Proton

We can replace the shadps4 app image as directed in this video just make sure to run it once in desktop mode before going to gaming mode ❤️
@ thanks man, I just don’t understand GitHub and don’t know the what or where or which to get the version that works the best

What if u sold ur PS4, is it still possible to somehow access the digital games you own from PSN?
Why is the game so demanding and dropping into the 20’s kinda makes this not so worth it imo
