What a fantastic video. Straight to the point and nicely explained. I wanted to install a ps3 emulator to play Demon's Souls and i was so lucky to find you. Everything worked perfect, thank you.
First of all, thank you for this video! It goes far and beyond and helped me to successfully launch the game on deck! Would like to share some addition: if you want your games to appear in Emulation Station too (or just prefer to use Emulation Station to launch the game): place your game folder like in the video : /Emulation/roms/ps3 and rename the directory "Skate 3" to "Skate 3.ps3", adding .ps3 in the end. That way it will be detected by Emulation Station. After that go to Emulation Station settings -> Other Settings-> Alternate Emulators -> ps3 and choose "RPCS3 Directory (Standalone)" (need to do it once) Note: if you have already created a link to the game to be shown in Steam UI, you have to recreate it or edit it to reflect the change in path.
wow, thank you so much. this addition is really helpful if someone need to put the games into emulation station. Really Appreciated for the extra information here. Great Job! 😊
Demon's Souls runs almost perfectly at 60fps when using the 60fps hack, but you have to drop the resolution to 75%. It's not bad looking since you can use RPCS3's FSR anyway
@@DerKrazyKrautGaming Yeah that's usually the case in most games that I've tried, but the decrease varies a bit depending on the game. On the newer releases that I tried, the battery life gets basically halved whenever I run them at 60fps, whereas in older games the decrease wouldn't be as drastic (around a 25% hit to battery life give or take). So I'm curious over how big of a hit this hack would be. But I guess I can always test it later to find out!

I installed FIFA 17 and installed it according to your instructions. Everything is perfect and the game runs and opens. But when I start playing it plays in slow motion and sometimes the audio lags too. The game is “playable” on the compatibility list so I thought it was gonna work perfectly. Do I need to install an update file or lower the graphics?
Yes you can try install updates and also You can follow my optimization guide here: th-cam.com/video/32trjgRSeys/w-d-xo.html to improve the performance. but some ps3 just can’t be emulated well on Steam Deck. The compatibility list is based on Windows PC with dedicated graphic card .
Hello! Followed all your instruction to the dot but I am getting a .enc rather than a .dec.iso file whenever use the ISO tool. Was wondering if anyone could help. I've been trying to run Armored Core 4.
If after using ISOTOOL you get an ISO file with .enc extension instead of .dec this means your original ISO file has been decrypted. you can use 7zip to extract the original ISO file and put the extracted folder into the ROM folder it will work with the emulator.
cool thing about psp and ps1 games. they use the same iso format so you can even put them in the same folder and the emulation can play them. thats why its called PSX for emulation of psp and ps1 games.
im stuck on the Isotool exe program. im trying to crypto Kingdom Hearts 2.5 and getting a invalid iso file. File does not contain PIC/D1/D2 data error?
I followed exactly your instructions but every time I do the ISO crypto step the file ends up being an .enc (encrypted) file instead of .dec (Decrypted). Does anyone know why this is? thanks

Having problems with PSN games that have DLC. Castlevania sticks on “loading” after pressing start, Tokyo Jungle stays on a white screen after starting survival, & Hard Corps: Uprising doesn’t even reach the title screen Also, how do you disable the pop up about the shaders across all emulators? It gets annoying while playing 3D Dot Game Heroes & Mega Man Network Transmission
the rpcs3 compatibly lists stated: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is in-game unplayable. sorry, I did not get "pop up about the shaders across all emulators" what did mean this ?
I have a question. After the whole process, it says my file is encrypted not decrypted. I followed your video to the letter even did this twice to make sure i had done it correctly but it beats the same results. Help please.
if it says encrypted that means your original iso has been decrypted before. all you need to do is unzip the original iso and put it into rom folder and you are ready to play.
@ED4T i did both following your instructions on video and description... so strange. To make sure I didn't get the mount problem, for one ISO file I didn't even open it (I already knew the name of the file to find the corresponding IRD).
I reinstalled everything(EmuDeck & RPCS3) today with the latest Steam OS 3.5.7 and PS3 firmware 4.90. everything works fine. no error code, games are running perfectly fine. maybe try to reinstall your RPCS3 emulator inside the EmuDeck.

Hi, Great video. tell me I have a question about the game the lord of the rings: the return of the king on PS2, it does not work on PCSX. You would have a solution ?
have you tried setting the CPU to run only one cpu while in game. some games run better with only 1cpu. if not look up "decky" for steam deck and "power tools" almost might want to try out cryoutilities steam deck as well.
@@ED4T I actually just uninstalled it cause it was Japanese version and there were no English subtitles. But on default config i was getting 40-60fps . I’m new to RPCS3 so I still have to tinker a bit
Was able to follow everything up until the 3k3y part, my steam deck opens and closes the isotools.exe file automatically. I tried an older version of 3k3y that I found online but still not working, anyone know what’s wrong? Thanks guys
how did you get the buttons and all that on the steam deck to work on the ps3 game? i can connect my ps4 controller to it and it works fine but i cant get the steam deck to work for it for some reason which sucks
Thanks for the vid! I've a question... For some reason my Emulators are not loading up like they normally do on my Steam Deck. On the "play" screen on the Steam page if I click it Steam tries to load it for a second but then returns to the play screen...

I dont know if you still have this issue but i had the same problem and its because i had set the installation file as the steam app instead of the actual application itself
Thank you for the tutorial. I did everything the way you had it. But with iso games, after IRD and decrypt, I could not get the games to start. The steam icon spins forever after I tried to load the game and would no move pass it. Can you give some advice? Thank you!
@@ED4T yes sir! I did everything that you had listed line by line. I downloaded the iso, then download the IRD. Eject the file before the patcher tool. Then decrypt the iso, extract it using 7 zip. Load it into Emulator Ps3 rom, it shows up in RPCS3 but only when I try to load it from the steam, it would not load. At this point, I am about to give up.
@@Thevinn1 glad to hear it! I am new to the scene of emulation and have been running into my own problems, including what you listed above- so I am glad I could help! Best of luck moving forward :)
IDK if you'll see this, but I need help. I've tried PKG and ISO files. The ISO file I seem to have used was already decrypted because the method you did just encrypted it. I have the PUPUPDATE file on RCPS etc, but nothing will work. I even used the ISO file after patch and even tried it before seeing your video of it not being patched, but nothing will work. I just want to run The Godfather II PS3 game, but I been trying for 5 hours now.... they make it so damn hard
If you iso file has been decrypted then you can just unzip the iso file and you will get a folder after unzipping then just move that folder into PS3 rom folder. It should work.
i donwloaded ufc undisputed 3. Everything worked fine, the game starts. But after 1min in the menu, the sound stops and when i try to load in a fight or so, it just loads forever. May the iso not be running correct?
Quick question! I installed a PKG file and it works good but in the steam collection it created a new folder than my other ps3 games. Is there a reason why? something i need to change?
pkg was installed in a different location comparing to iso that’s why it will show up in a different collection. EmuDeck need update this and have this fixed in future update . But I think the best way to manage all game roms is to use Emulation Station for now if you don’t want to see other ps3 collections.
@@ED4T Got it. It’s not that big of an issue i was just curious. However it didn’t matter much because i just checked my game didn’t work as well as i thought 😅 It isn’t compatible with the ps3 emulator. It is what it is. I’ve used a lot of your videos to help me set up my steam deck. Thank you for all your help!! I appreciate how much effort you put in to making the videos as easy as possible for new people like me.
Uncle, just to be clear. The PKG file installed to the emulator is stored in the internals, and not the sd card? I have a 64gb steam deck. I have my other emulators set on my sd cards. I see you delete the PKG file afterwards. I buy sd card for that reason, put the games inside
sorry the pkg will be installed on SD card too. if your EmuDeck was set to SD card, the pkg files will be installed at this location on SD Card emulation\storage pcs3\dev_hdd0\game you will find the game installed folder in this location.
Wait, so for me to get games running for ps3 on steam deck, i dont Need a bios, just the firmware update and the steps you did in this video? If so thats great
Yes 90% will be same. Only different is steam deck use emudeck. Ally use rpcs3 directly. All you can use emudeck windows version this will be very close to this video
Make sure you eject the iso file before use patch software RPCS3 PS3 Game ROMs Setup Guide / Tutorial / How to (2023) th-cam.com/video/MpsuwGG1U0o/w-d-xo.html
no you don't. you can also use a stand alone emulation by just downlloading rpcs3 from there site or the software manager. but emudeck is better for most things as it auto sets up your button mapping so if you dont feel you can setup your own buttons dont use stand alones. but if you are like "im just playing this and that" and dont need to do emudeck you dont need to. i been posting on ed4t's videos on a lot of stuff telling people where to get like bio's and roms so i hope its not making him mad and telling people how to fix things. i just like helping so i hope this helps
it sometimes takes me 1 hour and 30 minutes I think that game was 34GB. if it takes more than 2 hours I have no idea what happened. My laptop is gaming laptop so the hardware is great if your pc is slow then it might take longer time.
@@ED4T thanks a lot for answering me. I got it to work again, i think i got some bad roms. I changed download site and im back on track again. Your video is the best one for ps3 emulation on steam deck , thanks again.

Thank you for the tutorial. I did everything the way you had it. But with iso games, after IRD and decrypt, I could not get the games to start. The steam icon spins forever after I tried to load the game and would no move pass it. Can you give some advice? Thank you!
did you reject/unmount the iso file from Windows before you use the patcher tool and crypto tool ?
@@ED4T yes sir! I did everything that you had listed line by line. I downloaded the iso, then download the IRD. Eject the file before the patcher tool. Then decrypt the iso, extract it using 7 zip. Load it into Emulator Ps3 rom, it shows up in RPCS3 but only when I try to load it from the steam, it would not load. At this point, I am about to give up.
@@KriQz thank you! I got it to work per your instruction.
@@Thevinn1 glad to hear it! I am new to the scene of emulation and have been running into my own problems, including what you listed above- so I am glad I could help! Best of luck moving forward :)
when i run isotool it encrypted insted of decrypted and game dose not work
If it’s encrypted . You just extract your original iso and copy the extracted folder into rom folder it’s done. No need to decrypt.
IDK if you'll see this, but I need help. I've tried PKG and ISO files. The ISO file I seem to have used was already decrypted because the method you did just encrypted it. I have the PUPUPDATE file on RCPS etc, but nothing will work. I even used the ISO file after patch and even tried it before seeing your video of it not being patched, but nothing will work.
I just want to run The Godfather II PS3 game, but I been trying for 5 hours now.... they make it so damn hard
If you iso file has been decrypted then you can just unzip the iso file and you will get a folder after unzipping then just move that folder into PS3 rom folder. It should work.
I do that, but it doesn't seem to work...@@ED4T
i donwloaded ufc undisputed 3. Everything worked fine, the game starts. But after 1min in the menu, the sound stops and when i try to load in a fight or so, it just loads forever. May the iso not be running correct?
I only used PSN files and put into rooms, but it's not appearing on ROM manager.
Ay, Do Any of You Know What to Do For PSN on Black Ops III?
I decided to just dig my ps3 slim outta storage and play the one game I wanted to on there rather than doing all this, good luck yall
So these ROMS definitely need to be decrypted to work? I thought that was only if you were to play on a real PS3?
How do i download ps3 games directly using the steamdeck
use firefox its a pc do whatever you can do on pc
I notice emu deck uses flatpak version not the app image being the latest version
I'm just so confused because my files download as a .7z instead of iso?
Mine keep saying , the ps3 has likely crashed you can close it
you have incorrect roms.
13:22 is when the .PKG tutorial starts
wow, thanks for pointing this out. its fixed now.
When playing the PS3 game dynasty warriors I keep getting compiling shaders when trying to play the game and it freezes. Any suggestions ?
Quick question! I installed a PKG file and it works good but in the steam collection it created a new folder than my other ps3 games. Is there a reason why? something i need to change?
pkg was installed in a different location comparing to iso that’s why it will show up in a different collection. EmuDeck need update this and have this fixed in future update . But I think the best way to manage all game roms is to use Emulation Station for now if you don’t want to see other ps3 collections.
@@ED4T Got it. It’s not that big of an issue i was just curious. However it didn’t matter much because i just checked my game didn’t work as well as i thought 😅 It isn’t compatible with the ps3 emulator. It is what it is. I’ve used a lot of your videos to help me set up my steam deck. Thank you for all your help!! I appreciate how much effort you put in to making the videos as easy as possible for new people like me.
Where did you get your ISO file from? I have tried 3 different ISO's and every time it tells me the ISO file is invalid.
Make sure you eject/unmount iso before using patcher tools
Uncle, just to be clear. The PKG file installed to the emulator is stored in the internals, and not the sd card? I have a 64gb steam deck. I have my other emulators set on my sd cards. I see you delete the PKG file afterwards. I buy sd card for that reason, put the games inside
sorry the pkg will be installed on SD card too. if your EmuDeck was set to SD card, the pkg files will be installed at this location on SD Card emulation\storage
pcs3\dev_hdd0\game you will find the game installed folder in this location.
which 7 zip did you download? cuz im somewhat new to this and i see alot of choices.
The first 7zip software 64-bit x64
Make sure you eject/ unmount Iso files from Windows before you use patcher software
@@ED4T dude your the goat
How can you tell if the game is iso format or if it’s psn format ?
I can’t find my iso plzz help I know it’s an iso format but I can’t find the iso in the game file

Wait, so for me to get games running for ps3 on steam deck, i dont Need a bios, just the firmware update and the steps you did in this video? If so thats great
Yes just do what I showed in video. No bios required just firmware and game Roms.
would this work on the rog ally??
Yes 90% will be same. Only different is steam deck use emudeck. Ally use rpcs3 directly. All you can use emudeck windows version this will be very close to this video
When I click on the "Compatibility list" number for my game. It doesnt download the ird file. it just opens a chat thread about that game.
Try a different internet browser
Can I download the games on the steam deck desktop or no?
Unable to play ps3 game using Xbox controller..Game loads absolutely fine..unable to start the game..
Hi! Why do you not use PS3-ISO-Rebuilder?
Hello sir could you show me how to access debug mode in rpcs3 for steam deck? Thank you
Ugh...that's a bit of a long process. I'll come back to this 😂
9:09 for the ISO Crypto part it won’t work for me. It says Invalid file, this file does not contain PIC/D1/D2 data
Make sure you eject the iso file before use patch software

at 02:22 make sure the steam rom manger parser is highlighted not greyed out.
I have a window pc do I have to download window emulator on my steam deck to order to play emulator
Just follow my video and install EmuDeck on your Deck. You don't need to download a windows emulator. Emudeck will install the emulator for you.
no you don't. you can also use a stand alone emulation by just downlloading rpcs3 from there site or the software manager. but emudeck is better for most things as it auto sets up your button mapping so if you dont feel you can setup your own buttons dont use stand alones. but if you are like "im just playing this and that" and dont need to do emudeck you dont need to. i been posting on ed4t's videos on a lot of stuff telling people where to get like bio's and roms so i hope its not making him mad and telling people how to fix things. i just like helping so i hope this helps
老乡，RetroDeck和EmuDeck哪个好？
Emudeck 吧 现在用emudeck的人最多 所以后期升级也会快些。
RPCS3 flatpak from EmuDeck couldn't open. RPCS3 Appimage works fine.
Found a fix by apply a rollback.
Great to hear that some time updates mess things up.
Did you roll back your steam os or flatpak rpcs3 ?
@@ED4T flatpak rpcs3
Thanks for the info. I believe everyone has same issue with rpcs3 after the new steam os update.
when I go to the ps3 sony website, it shows firmward 4.90 and no option to download. Any suggestions?
Select install from computer the you can download it
So we still need other windows to complete the rom
My brother in Christ, why is my iso decryption 3 and a half hours long when in your video the timer only showed 4 minutes
it sometimes takes me 1 hour and 30 minutes I think that game was 34GB. if it takes more than 2 hours I have no idea what happened. My laptop is gaming laptop so the hardware is great if your pc is slow then it might take longer time.
Some help please? This works perfectly but after a while the games become ENC files instead of DEC files and will not play.
you have to re-get dec files. i am assuming you might accidentally use EmuDeck file compression tool.
@@ED4T thanks a lot for answering me. I got it to work again, i think i got some bad roms. I changed download site and im back on track again.
Your video is the best one for ps3 emulation on steam deck , thanks again.
Great Video! Thanks! Not sure why in the IsoTools app it always shows encrypting and not decripting, for me how do I change this?
