every emudeck tutorial are too scare to show the bios and roms part, all they do is "i already have my games/roms so...", no one dare to discuss it why bother for the tutorial guide when all you can say about roms are "do your reseach with my hint" something like that.
Getting an emulator installed and usable is totally different than getting roms. If you need to know how to get roms you would need to do a lot of research as every system has a different way of doing it.
Every video i go to is NOT SHOWING ME HOW TO ADD GAMES TO THE EMULATOR!!!! every video is saying "i already have my games, so ill skip for now" WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ZERO GAMES...AND WANTS TO ADD GAMES!!!!!
You will need to do a lot of research spasidic to the system you want to dump your games into a rom. Don't watch videos on how to set up emulators look up how to convert your snes cartridge game to a rom or whatever you're trying to do. It's complex and specific to every system that's why no one is showing that in a video about installing emulators. Does that make sense?
hahah you can always just change the playback speed to slower and pause when needed. I hate spending unneeded time going through tutorials I typically put them in 2x speed.

thanks for the video, after installation, it still does not show emudeck app on desktop, i tried to restart the installation process, also did not work, which part am I missing? thanks
Does this install the bios for ps2 and ps3? I know how to get the games and convert Rom into iso all that's fine, I just don't want to scour all the emulator sites for that one bios file that doesn't looks sketcky 😂
No other computer needed. This was all dont in the video on my steam deck. There is no need for another computer the deck is a computer. This was done in Steam OS desktop mode.
Hmm, no estoy seguro. Necesitaría más información para entender mejor y ayudar a determinar qué está sucediendo. También puedes intentar instalar Genshin Impact sin depender de un lanzador de juegos de anime. Hmm, I'm not sure. I would need additional information to better understand and help determine what's happening. You can also try to install Genshin Impact without relying on an anime game launcher.

Why does batocera make link blurry ( gameplay) wise in links awakening. Why does nba jam on fire edition speed up so much in gameplay. Also my player keeps spinning non stop?
inside of the individual emulators you have to tweek all the settings and some games just don't emulate correctly or you need mods for the specific game. The best thing to do is google the specific game or even better get on the discord and ask around.
it really depends on the emulator and game.. typically if you have issues with a game i would look up the best settings for that individual game because it could be different for another game.
Is there a way that it automatically places the roms in the folders as some of my roms are mixed up, As in EMUDECK you have to place the roms into the folders that are made by emudeck Need a guide, would really appreciate the help

How do you keep emu deck installed on 4th attempt it opens after downloading installing the as soon as background installation is done it says oops something went wrong please restart EMU deck it's not installed at this point so have to keep installing till it passes? Also why does the download start fast rhen drop to 230kb's and stay there lol wired network is 1Gbs
It's probably just formatted in a type that won't be recognized on your laptop you could try formatting it on the desktop steam deck to a more universal format and try that.
I understood everything until it came to the Roms because i have No games and i dont know what to do i dont understand any of the computer language!!!!😡
Hey, thanks for the video. I have a question: are emulated games free, or do I have to purchase them somewhere? I plan to play Zelda games and Paper Mario.
1:11 I do have an error and it says "EmuDeck Installation not found, please install emudeck before using this tool" how can I download emudeck with emudeck lmaoo???????
when I go into Steam Rom Manager, in the preview section it only displays the various emulators but no games so I can't get any game to show on Steam it's weird because I did get it to work twice before with Silent Hill 1 & 3 but now it just won't show the games at all
hmm you should be able to manage all the roms in emu deck and you can go through one by one selecting what you want and the art you want to show in steam.
And the author is aware that as of June 2024, the installation of EmuDeck has changed and has become more problematic. at least I can't install Cemu properly and roll it back to the old version 1.26 to run Zelda bohw
You need to download the roms and BIOS's from a separate location online. The ROMS need the BIOS's to run. There are websites that you can get this stuff on. It's not super intuitive, but for legal reasons this youtube video can't give a guide on that. Just start google for whatever game ROM you want and the BIOS and you'll get results.

Was about saying the same thing. How do we get games on the emu deck platform. I actually thought this was supposed to be a tutorial on how to get games on emu deck
Most people will never show how to get games because unless you dump your own Rom files that you've paid for its illegal, most of these people didn't pay for the emulated games so they go to 3rd party websites which I'd love to say what they are but I don't want my account banned so I unfortunately can't walk you through how to get the ROMs on the emulator or how to convert roms to iso files for disc games like ps2/Gamecube I would suggest googling some solutions, I wish I could help but I don't want any legal issues my way as small as the chance might be
Fuck I hate Retroarch. Their controller mapping shit is so cryptic and insane. I've had to uninstall and reinstall this shit like 5 times now because trying to make various controllers work fucked the mappings up so bad it actually broke the physical steam deck controls and made it impossible to invoke the menus to roll back the changes.
@@nophacetech It breaks my heart becausae the SD OLED is PERFECT for retro emulation. It's the smoothes I've ever seen Genesis emulators run and they look gorgeous on that screen. My inner 10 year old is overwhelmed with glee at seeing Genesis games on a handheld like that but not being able to use the proper controller and save states is killing me. I guess I'm just asking too much.
You just drag your roms from wherever you have them into the folders that emudeck created so if you have snes roms on an external hard drive drag them into the newly created snes folder on your steam deck
@@nophacetech even if its not much to show, just show it anyways. im so frustrated with this video because you didnt explain anything you just skipped evverrything and at this point i quit trying to get emu deck working...
I get it; I move quickly because I genuinely dislike tutorial videos that meander and waste time. It's frustrating to spend 20 minutes on something that could be efficiently covered in 5. I aim for speed and efficiency, understanding that not everyone prefers a brisk pace. That said, at 10-minute long, I ensure no steps are missed for those following along. If you find the pace too fast, feel free to adjust the playback speed to 0.5x for a slower walkthrough. Specifically, at 6:10, I meticulously demonstrate how to navigate to the folders for organizing your ROMs properly. If your concerns lie beyond finding and accessing these folders, then it might be something I haven't tackled yet. @@TORAPRINCESS
Ahahaha, did you figure it out? It's simply dragging and dropping your ROM files from wherever you have them into the folders that EmuDeck created for each system.

emudeck is great
The hardest part is finding Yuzu and Citra emulators today. It feels like impossible mission.

You just have to click the" okay " window turns orange at the bottom
@@divine_x_lightI’ve done this and it’s stuck at “downloading retroarch cores for emu deck” there are no more pop ups from the orange tab
move the emudeck window, there's screens behind it that you need to click OK on.
1:16 after hitting continue it just goes to Konsole and stays there, no installation
Regarding rom thumbnail art.. what happens if you get two the same ? I can never see the file names so I don't know what these two games are really called. Why are we getting two the same?
For some reason, when I run the installation file, it opens the command console for me to install it, but closes right after. Why?
Same here, still don’t know how to solve that.

Thanks bro!
heck yeah
