This helped greatly. I’ve never been a pc gamer bit wanted a steam deck for all of my old games. Watched this video then was able to add all of my psp favs in no time. Best tutorial
Thanks for the tutorial. I'd like to add a Quality of Life button mapping too. Go to Control Mapping and scroll down to "Pause". Map the L2 button (or any other button that's not used on PSP) to it. Once in game, you can press that button to Save/Load States (much better than the in-game save system), change Settings, and also Exit the game back to PPSSPP main menu without returning to Steam.
Anyone know how to get games to show up in games tab? I can navigate to folder with roms but it doesn't display the roms in the folder. The recent tab works to show the recent games loaded.
I tried to get GTA Vice City Stories, but it says "Download Unavailable at the request of Entertainment Software Association", any other safe alternatives?
I have all the emulators attached to my deck. all works well. with the types of games (PS games to Dreamcast to game cubes games etc) when i go to game play, i just have to click on the posters and get to play all those games. only ones i cant do it is with PSP games. I don't want to log into PPSPP, ...how do i play my PSP games like the other games? ( where i just click on the posters in the library. currently if i do that, the game doesn't start)
So strangely, I've been having issues getting Liberty City Stories to work, it just keeps crashing after like 20 minutes. I tried a different rom, same issue. Other games work fine.
Awesome tutorial. Easy to follow. Just one question. I've been looking through folders, but I can't find where to put the cheat.db file to be able to load the cheats. Where would that location be on here.
do you know how to access ppsspp menu once in game- say to select another game? I got it. You hold steam button plus left d pad Also, I would not recommend exiting through PPSSPP menu to quit PPSSPP, quit through steam button, froze the deck yesterday.
Help! I tried running FF Tactics and the audio was crackling a bit, so I tried changing the audio settings and ppsspp crashed. Now I can't load up ppsspp at all. I tried Uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and nothing. Anyone have a clue?
on ppsspp i cant configure correctly button mapping bcoz for example (B) makes a guy jump in ppsspp game but also does something on desktop more so emulator confuses, as an example im trying to play kingdom hearts bbs but when i assign the button (B) to jump the emulator does nothing becose that button is for something on desktop mode steam deck, im sorry terrible explanation, but i hope any one can help
@@jamiejohn187 i found a fix i hope it works for you, so go to your steam deck desktop mode, and open steam and put to add a non steam game and add the PPSSPP as a non steam game, then close the steam and go back to gaming mode on steam deck and from library open the emulator like a game, now you can configure the gamepad button correctly without steam confusing them with desktop shortcuts becose you are not in desktop anymore, tell me if it helped
@@jamiejohn187 from what i understod that problem is becoz steam is confusing button mapping of game with shortcuts on desktop mode thats why that fix worked for me coz im not in desktop anymore
I have a problem, when I try to play a game I get an error message that says "Could not load game .Not a valid disc image" it happens in most of my games
@@SonarSystemsCoUk please let me know if you can find it yet for the save file area so I can put my psp save data on to it. I can't find the folder on steam deck for it.
Yet again I'm stuck following along step by step. Can't find ppsspp in the fucking steam library thing it's not there even tho it's on my device it's like God himself is smiting me
Nothing like getting liberty city to start and even be able to skip the cuts cutscenes only to not have any of the actual game controls work on lvl1 I know I'm stupid and this is a stupid problem to have
I installed RetroArch and try ppsspp core but i get extrem background flicker when i use the video driver ogl. Vulkan solve this, but it stutters like hell, cause vulkan dont like vsync. Any help?
This whole process has been so fucking painful I just want the controls to work. I've suffered so goddamn much the best I can get it is to kinda drive down the street but the radio is connected to steering for some reason and if you crash you cabt reverse it goes back to the emulator settings
I'm tired man. I've been watching countless videos trying to get ts to work. It's so disheartening spending all this money for the system to laugh at you cause you're too dumb to figure it out
"I'm not condoning piracy or anything...but have you guys heard of Vimm's Lair?"
tf do you buy psp games from

Go into the app itself on desktop mode, go to settings, navigate to controlls and click the X on the "Save" and "Load" states.
