Hey MonroeWorld, is it possible to re-route using the virtual symlink method if my setup has already be done the standard way as in selecting the SD card in the inital setup etc I hope this makes sense, would like to use this symlink method but worried it will screw my current setup games and saves etc? cheers
I was hoping you will also cover crazy controller templates EmuDeck put on the last update, but nothing about it… Don’t get them at all, maybe you could round 2 and speak about that? Thanks!
Thanks for such an informative and easy-to-follow video!! One thing I'm having a ton of trouble with (maybe any pros here can help (please!!)), is how to reconfigure controls for each emulator. I know that Emudeck has hotkeys which is supposed to span across all emulators as efficiently as possible, but for whatever reason, I'm unable to reconfigure any of the buttons even when attempting to do so via each standalone's input settings in Desktop Mode. It's making the whole process of playing the games more confusing and a test in muscle memory than I'd like :(
@@Darkuni Thanks for clarifying! :D I found a bit of a workaround (so far as anything launched via RetroArch is concerned at least), if you're running an emulator and click both joysticks in, it'll bring up the RetroArch menu, go to Quick Settings, then Controls, then the first controller option and from there you can reconfigure the button inputs for that particular emulator. Still haven't found a workaround for the other emulators like Cemu and Dolphin though..!
Hi, I followed this video to set up emudeck, and it works amazingly. Thank you. Just a quick question, i followed the guide with a 512gb sd card and wanted to upgrade it to a 1TB sd card with all the content that's on my 512gb card. Can i just copy it onto my new 1TB sd card, and how would i go about this? Please keep up the good work, and your videos are clear and precise, so, i thank you for that. 😉👍
Easy if you used the symlink solution I showed here. If not? You're likely going to have to reinstall EmuDeck after you change cards because the mount point to that card in Linux will be different than the old card and EmuDeck's hard coded values will break. If you used the symlink, replace the card, remake the symlink and you're DONE. The exact reason why I recommend doing it this way :D
@Darkuni Hi, I did follow your guide to the letter and included the symlink. 😀 but I'm very new to all of this. If you could give me a few quick bullet points on how to do it, or even better, a video on how to upgrade to a larger sd card using your symlink method would be amazing, As im sure a lot of your less technical followers would appreciate, then I would be very grateful. Thank you for your swift response 👍 🙏
@@chris.9595 Good idea for a video. I do have a video for upgrading your SD card, but not specifically to EmuDeck. Essentially, you're going to get the new card in, delete the EmuDeckVirtual sym link and create it again with the new card as seen at 2:38.
This is a very helpful video! After installing EmuDeck though, it doesn't show any of the menus (BIOS checkers, etc), instead it just shows the installation options (easy or custom) - I wonder is this because my steam deck crashes after the installation in desktop mode? FWIW, it seems my deck crashes quite often in desktop mode. I have no problem running EmulationStation and playing the ROMs from both desktop and game modes, but I was wondering is it better if I just format my steam deck and microSD, and redo the installation all over again? I don't have lots of data or configurations yet (just got the deck over the weekend). Again, thanks for such an informative video, any help is appreciated!
It definitely sounds like there's something wrong on your deck's end. I would probably reimage your deck. Just to be sure. If you continue to have crashes? Then I would reach out to Valve and get a ticket opened. Because that is not normal behavior.
Yes, this is still up to date. If it wasn't? It would have DEPRECATED in the title and have a newer version in the description. That's how this channel rolls. We don't like leaving up out of date information. :)
@@Darkuni thank you for the response!! I'm still a bit afraid to try Emudeck since I've heard some horror stories and my deck is brand new so maybe down the line I will try it out. But I'll definitely be going to your channel for the guide!! Especially if the process changes a bit in the foreseeable future.
15:13 How can you close an emulated game? Especially when you are launching Emu Station via the SteamOS Steam Library. Which buttons do I have to press to exit? I am currently stuck in a DS Game and dont know how to quit. For future: Is there a way to look up how all the controls work? (Close Game, Save State, etc.) And thanks for your awesome guide!😊
Depends on the game. Some games you may have to do some controller monkeying. For retroarch (most of the early systems) it's hold down view and tap menu.
thank you so much for some great content. does the games have to go on the internal in order to play them? Id love for them to stay on a HDD thats plugged into the Deck. is this possible? plug and play basically. thank you.
You COULD ... But I don't typically recommend it. The mounting of internal storage and the internal microSD card are handled quite well by the OS. External drives do seem to occasionally have mounting issues. I would certainly use the virtual symlink for the install as shown. Then you can change easily - even if your external drive takes on a new mount point!
@@Darkuni thank you so much for the speedy reply! So it’s best to just stick in a SD card? Would you recommend putting in a new one just for emulation? Thanks so much again
@@TomLally I'm not the biggest fan of the microSD slot on the Deck. I am not sure it would handle a ton of ins and outs. I would put a nice big SD card (if you can swing a SanDisk Extreme - that's recommended).
@@Darkuni Awhh so do this via a USB C to SD card reader? Or even my Ugreen hub thing? Sorry for all these questions. I want to get this right to the T.
I really don't understand the concept of Symlink, but is this something I'm going to want to do if I keep everything on internal storage with no plan on upgrading or using an SD card? Thanks in advance :)
That's a bold statement to make :) We all start off making similar promises - then? Well, you know. If you're going to never ever EVER change where EmuDeck is going to be installed, and NEVER want to use multiple storage devices for EmuDeck support files? Choose internal. But this is a good exercise if nothing else - and future proofs you with really no downside - other than a few minutes of your time.
Sounds good. I have various devices for various things, and I'm getting a Steam Deck from my sister and I'm solely using it for portable emulation and am 100% positive the internal space is sufficient. I just dont fully understand what a Symlink does so i am not sure if there's a point to making one if I set up with internal storage. I'm not new to emulation but I'm a complete noob with both Steamdeck and Linux lol so excuse my noob questions 😅
@@Velocifaptor92 A symlink is a "fake folder" that links somewhere else. So you can create a symlink folder (let's call it EmuVirtual) that points to some folder on your current SD card (let's say it is named "Retro Roms". Now let's say you want to have another SD card for new consoles like PS3. That card will have a different name (Windows uses drive letters, Linux uses mount paths). So you put the new card in, with the right folders and everything but Emudeck is completely broken. This is because all the paths you set up (without a symlink) no longer are there ... what used to be run/media/desk/retroroms ... is now run/media/deck/ps3games ... nothing works. With the symlink? You just point the symlink to the new card and BOOM ... everything continues to work as it should. EmuDeck expects you to forever and ever use the exact same path - but that doesn't always work out.
So last question, and I hope to stop pestering you! What am I doing when I want to use a second SD card? Am I having to change anything about the symlink if the new SD card has a different mount path. Im completely new to the steam os, so im sure once i fiddle with itll start to click. I'm sure this is way more simple than I'm making it. Im setting it all up tomorrow, so I'm excited, yet a little cautious. Want it to be right the first time 😅
Great tutorial, but unfortunately ES isn't detecting any games despite the directories being setup, roms in place. I see it's a fairly common issue with it just not working for some people. Various random fixes work for some people, and for others nothing ever works.
did you ever come across an issue when adding y*** back that emudeck didn't detect the switch firmware, despite it being there, and due to this not being able to reset y*** configuration? I need it to restore my backed up saves and restore all the symlinks
@@Darkuni yep, that bios checker, it's definitely in the right place. although i did do the emudeck backup from my previous install (had to factory reset deck). but even when my backup ones didn't work, I even went and got the latest keys and firmware and still somehow it's not recognised
I've been using dolphin for game cube emulation and some of the control schemes are awful. Because I've used the Emulation station front end, does that mean i cant set up deck profiles for individual emulated titles? On the steam input ES seems to have various action sets for different emulators yet i cant see one for Dolphin which is odd. Do you have any suggestions as to how to get steam control profiles for individual titles and whether steam input will work with emulated titles the same as regular steam games?
I don't use Dolphin much, but Emulation Station has its own per-emulator based input settings. If you want to depart from them, you're going to need to create your own input switching (someday I might do a video on that) or you're going to need to inject the game into Steam and use Steam Input from there. Hope that makes sense.
@17:20 how do we get the cover art for ES-DE? Not the games, but EmulationSataion itself? Mine used to be there, I did a fresh install, and now its black, just like yours.
I recently updated Emudeck. For the emulator that starts with Y, whenever I try to run one of the games through emudeck, it doesn't run and gives an error saying, 'Error: couldn't find emulator 'Ryujinx'... But I don't have that Ryujinx installed and don't want to use it. Do you know how I could fix this? I have checked to see if I have all the files in the correct location for Y, as shown in your video.
@@Rubayeth123 Crap, I may have clipped that out by accident. You need to change the default emulator. MAIN MENU->OTHER SETTINGS->ALTERNATIVE EMULATORS ... I'm guessing you can figure it out from there.
For those in the same boat getting the " I don't do emulation" response....ok yth u buy a steamdeck that's what it's for...anyway Go ahead and uninstall and then reinstall emudeck. Then after that, do the same with emulation station. Everything went back to normal for ME after that. Good luck.
No, the BIOS files all go in the ROOT of Emulation/bios ... there are a few RARE exceptions, but as a rule? Put all bios files in the ROOT, not in a system named folder. Most "bios packs" you obtain online aren't very clean. I wouldn't recommend using them - just take what you NEED from them. Unfortunately, mine is messy because I pulled the bios files from my Anbernic handheld boot card - not the way I should have done it.
Hiya wonder if you can help. Upgraded to esde v3 few days back after having a fully working emustation. Have finally got it back to where its about to run "scanning games" it gets half way through the process and just crashes the app. Any ideas? Any and all help would be amazing as its now making my brain ache cheers
This is something new to me. I haven't seen this. My guess is that one of your games has an odd filename and it is blowing up ES DE. Check ES DE's log file for any clues as to what is crashing it.
The screen is different at 9:38 now. I got ES-DE (Program) injected into steam, but it won't open. I tried re-injecting (repeating the steps at 9:27 and it did not work. Any insight?
When I first used steam rom manager I could just add individual games to steam without it trying to add every emulator to my library. These new emudeck updates are driving me nuts. I just want to add a game.
People ask why I don't like or use SRM (outside of getting Emulation Station installed) - this is why. The app isn't great. It breaks a lot and the experience seems to change from version to version. ALL my emulation is controlled via ES-DE - and I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@DaGai So, you would prep the new card - copy your Emulation folder to the new card. Put the new card in. Delete the EmuVirtual folder, recreate it using the new card's path. That's it.
The file literally just says emudeck desktop and won't open or anything. It's a text file for some reason? I don't understand. I can't even ask someone else to do this it's so convoluted
Did you put it on the desktop? It won't run anywhere else. There is also the possibility you said "OPEN" instead of "EXECUTE" and that will open it in a text editor. You'll have to reset that behavior if you did.
Thank you for the tutorial! I can see the game in ES-DE but when I launch it, it'll just go back to the ES-DE main page again... What could it be? There aren't any ROM alternatives and I also have the according BIOS
I have a couple of questions. I am seeing multple artwork for the same game for Sega Saturn. I put my Sega Saturn game folder with the bin and cue files in it, into the roms folder. I opened up SRM, and saw the multiple artwork. I added only one to Steam. Is it ok to delete the multiple artworks? Also, how can I remove the games from Steam after injecting them?
The better thing to do is run the ISO Compression tool and it will take all those multi-file games and up them in a SINGLE file - which will actually solve everything. :)
@@nekonokoe22 Not really my forte. I'm not a fan of Steam ROM Manager. I use ESDE for all my emulation. Maybe post on Reddit? Surely there is SOME way to do it ... I don't know how, though.
Hey, **zu isn't launching in Emulation Station when I launch games. Only Ryujinx. I followed the intructions and put the appimage in the app folder. Any help? Thanks!
Not that I can share here. Piracy and all. I'm not looking to bring the wrath of YT or Nintendo down upon me. But I'm betting the "biggest piracy site on the internet that claims they are there for preservation" can help you.
Controls arn't work properly by default with duckstation, either they are digital and you cannot use sticks, or it's messed up and pressing B brings up the Duckstation menu.
Hey if i wanna put just 1 rom in can i? I already got alot of roms on my deck so do i gotta install all those roms in, thats what it use to do back in the days on emudeck and it use to take forever to put 1 rom in
@@Darkuni Yes, but most of them are for Windows and the linux ones have a filename extension .bundle instead of .AppImage. If I rename the file, i'm getting an error when I execute it. I'm new to Linux, so I really don't understand the mechanics of the OS and what's bundle and what's appimage.
The number is issued to any device that is mounted that doesn't have a name. Most people do not name their SD cards; so the system assigns it a unique, long winded ID. If you put a different card in, it would have a different name (or a number).
you people that make these emu deck videos need to stop saying this shit is "easy" "very simple" because its actually not 70% of people watching this video don't have a clue what your talking about or what to do despite you explaining it telling people what to do there has to be a way you can simplify it even more this is by far the most frustrating thing I've ever tried to do tech wise im at the point where I. want to throw my steam deck out the window or pay someone to do it
The "hard" part of emulation is illegal. That's why none of us cover it. I've already been kicked for this... Others have too ... Emulation setup isn't hard. Piracy can be. Feel free to drop by our discord. Many of us there can help you where we can't help here...
This might be the dumbest question ever but...how do I bring up the menu when I'm in an emulator? I start up, say, my N64 emulator and accidentally figure out how to make the controller work and switch back and forth from gamepad to desktop mode but I can't for the life of me figure out how to bring up the menu so that I can quit out without turning the power on my steamdeck all the way off and back on again. I'm actually very new to the steamdeck. I got it like two weeks ago so that I could game at my girlfriend's house among other places and I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do anything on it other than gamemode.
Hello i downloaded emudeck but everytime i get to this bit at 1:56, a pop up says ‘oops😔 there was an error, please restart EmuDeck’ which i have done twice now but it keeps popping up, each time it takes forever for it to download again so it’s rather annoying, do you know anyway to resolve this issue? It won’t let me click on anything on this page 1:56 when I click close on the pop up either so I can’t do anything there sadly
@@Darkuni wow thank you for the speedy reply :D - my storage says I have 64 GB left and I installed it on to my desktop like in the video- I just looked at the Konsole page and it says (in red) Unhandled rejection Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir ‘/home/deck/.config/EmuDeck/backend/store/genesis/‘ It says this 8 time in red, I don’t know if that’s helpful information or not but thought I’d mention it I didn’t see it till now

@@DarkuniHi I just followed your tutorial for ES-DE and it’s not loading either on my steam deck desktop mode and or on handheld mode. When I press play it acts as if it’s going to launch then it doesn’t . Any fixes for this
If you followed this video, I discourage the use of SRM at all and use ESDE as the central hub of launching emulation titles. You may reach out to the SRM developer and see if you have recourse. Then? Never use it again other than to inject ESDE :D
@@Darkuniyes, I think I made a mistake. I only want to have the Emulation Station Icon in my Steam Libary to start all my roms. I will try to delete it and try it again. :(
@@Darkuni I can't get it undone. I have now only selected the simulation station in the Roms software. But the thousand games remain under “non-game games”.
When you dump your PS3 games, you elect the format to save them in. Use JBFOLDERS instead of ISO. Should be fine. I do not know of a "converter" to do so.
Ugh... when you click on EmuDeck, it brings up a menu with the Bios Checker... when I click on EmeDeck it brings me back to the start of the installation... this is way too overcomplicated, i think im just going to give up.
Getting this annoying issue where Emulation Station doesnt Launch from the Steam Library... Going to attempt.to reinstall everything but i need to manually delete everything EmuDeck installed to restart the process... being Tech Illiterate SUCKS. Heres hoping i dont delete anything crucial to running the Steam Deck.
@@Darkunirestarting everything from scratch seems to have fixed it. I think I accidentally clicked "launch games from steam" instead of "launch games from Emulation Station or Pegasus".
@@Darkuni Strange because the problem is only with Xbox. On Windows I use Retrobat. It's Emulation Station too and the Xbox scraping is not perfect but it works good and better than with Emu Deck. I think there are more scraper.
@@Vegan_Lifting here's my guess and I have no data to back this up. The way that scraper works effectively is if there's a hash check of your file that matches the scrapers database. These hashes require a lot of CPU to generate but on small files? It doesn't take very long at all. But with an ISO? A big giant disk image? It's not going to be able to hash check those effectively. So it has to go 100% based on the name. If the name has anything funky in it it will kick it back as unfound or you do a manual search and it will show you three possibilities and 99% of the time one of those possibilities is the one that you want. But it's not going to auto scrape it.
@@Darkuni Thanks for your answer. That could be the reason. Tomorrow I will change the names manually and run the scraper. I think I have all my Xbox games in .xiso.
@@Darkuni about 8:20 8:40 where I’m suppose to restart and I do but it never changes from that screen. Can’t get emulation station to do anything. No pop up. Nothing. And also now starting up Emudeck I keep getting an error message and it won’t go away. I have tried uninstalling emudeck and reinstalling but it’s still giving the same error message. Is there a way to wipe emudeck completely from my deck? Maybe I’m not wiping it completely. Let me find the error message exactly real quick too.
OK so it was weird I have to hit like uninstall like I’m gonna uninstall emudeck and then cancel halfway and then it’ll send me to the bios and check all of them because I don’t know which ones to check and it gives me my bios
Emulation - per se - is not difficult. EmuDeck is so turn key, it is almost criminal. Chasing BIOS files and ROMS (both of which are illegal of course) is where people hit the wall quickly. Being illegal, nobody on YT or other platforms wants to talk about them for risk of punishment. There are Reddit groups that stick it to the system and talk about these illegalities - but they are transient as they end up getting spanked too, eventually. Emulation isn't for the faint of heart on Windows. On Linux? You MUST get your hands dirty. There just isn't any other way. :(
@@Darkuni finding the bios and roms wasn’t difficult at all, it’s where to put them and how to have the right format. What I’ve realised with the majority of these videos that claim they are for beginners, use all these terms that make a beginners head just start to fizzle like another language is being spoken. Definitely not creators fault, just pointing out that it might not be ‘beginner’ friendly, it’s for people who already have a decent understanding of computers.
@@Trigga123321 if you want to share some of the concepts and or terminology that you found out of band for this sort of video? I would love for more feedback. At some point I'll have to do this video again and any sort of improvements I can make would be great.
The usual reason this happens is that there is an update pending; either on a proton version or the system has an update. I can't imagine EmuDeck having any bearing on this.
The symlink should be pointed at HOME. Within HOME, the EMULATION folder and its subfolders will be created. When I refresh this video, I'll include a section for internal users as well. Drop into our Discord and we can better help you.

But I'll definitely be going to your channel for the guide!! Especially if the process changes a bit in the foreseeable future.
@@ericgastelum884 You have nothing to fear. It is currently stable and it is pretty much a one click remove.
15:13 How can you close an emulated game? Especially when you are launching Emu Station via the SteamOS Steam Library. Which buttons do I have to press to exit? I am currently stuck in a DS Game and dont know how to quit.
For future: Is there a way to look up how all the controls work? (Close Game, Save State, etc.)
And thanks for your awesome guide!😊
Depends on the game. Some games you may have to do some controller monkeying. For retroarch (most of the early systems) it's hold down view and tap menu.
@@Darkuni Thanks for your help and reply😊🙏🏻🤝
When I am hitting custom I am getting a different file directory than Dolphin?
How can I change to position match layout after installation? Having A/B swapped on nintendo ds is strange to me
Search my channel. I believe I have an "ultimate config guide" to DS.
thank you so much for some great content. does the games have to go on the internal in order to play them? Id love for them to stay on a HDD thats plugged into the Deck. is this possible? plug and play basically. thank you.
You COULD ... But I don't typically recommend it. The mounting of internal storage and the internal microSD card are handled quite well by the OS. External drives do seem to occasionally have mounting issues. I would certainly use the virtual symlink for the install as shown. Then you can change easily - even if your external drive takes on a new mount point!
@@Darkuni thank you so much for the speedy reply! So it’s best to just stick in a SD card? Would you recommend putting in a new one just for emulation? Thanks so much again
@@TomLally I'm not the biggest fan of the microSD slot on the Deck. I am not sure it would handle a ton of ins and outs. I would put a nice big SD card (if you can swing a SanDisk Extreme - that's recommended).
@@Darkuni Awhh so do this via a USB C to SD card reader? Or even my Ugreen hub thing? Sorry for all these questions. I want to get this right to the T.
@@TomLally Probably easier to answer your questions in our Discord ...
I really don't understand the concept of Symlink, but is this something I'm going to want to do if I keep everything on internal storage with no plan on upgrading or using an SD card?
Thanks in advance :)
That's a bold statement to make :) We all start off making similar promises - then? Well, you know. If you're going to never ever EVER change where EmuDeck is going to be installed, and NEVER want to use multiple storage devices for EmuDeck support files? Choose internal. But this is a good exercise if nothing else - and future proofs you with really no downside - other than a few minutes of your time.
Sounds good. I have various devices for various things, and I'm getting a Steam Deck from my sister and I'm solely using it for portable emulation and am 100% positive the internal space is sufficient. I just dont fully understand what a Symlink does so i am not sure if there's a point to making one if I set up with internal storage. I'm not new to emulation but I'm a complete noob with both Steamdeck and Linux lol so excuse my noob questions 😅
@@Velocifaptor92 A symlink is a "fake folder" that links somewhere else. So you can create a symlink folder (let's call it EmuVirtual) that points to some folder on your current SD card (let's say it is named "Retro Roms". Now let's say you want to have another SD card for new consoles like PS3. That card will have a different name (Windows uses drive letters, Linux uses mount paths). So you put the new card in, with the right folders and everything but Emudeck is completely broken. This is because all the paths you set up (without a symlink) no longer are there ... what used to be run/media/desk/retroroms ... is now run/media/deck/ps3games ... nothing works.
With the symlink? You just point the symlink to the new card and BOOM ... everything continues to work as it should. EmuDeck expects you to forever and ever use the exact same path - but that doesn't always work out.
@@Darkuni That clears up so much. Thank you!!
So last question, and I hope to stop pestering you! What am I doing when I want to use a second SD card? Am I having to change anything about the symlink if the new SD card has a different mount path. Im completely new to the steam os, so im sure once i fiddle with itll start to click. I'm sure this is way more simple than I'm making it. Im setting it all up tomorrow, so I'm excited, yet a little cautious. Want it to be right the first time 😅
Great tutorial, but unfortunately ES isn't detecting any games despite the directories being setup, roms in place. I see it's a fairly common issue with it just not working for some people. Various random fixes work for some people, and for others nothing ever works.
Solution for myself was uninstalling/reinstalled Emulation Station. Oddly, works now.
There's nobody we haven't been able to fix. If you are of the mind, join our discord and let us help.
I did that been up for hrs I can’t get it to work with es like I actually have the games in es but it’s fine I can still play doe thanks 🙏
did you ever come across an issue when adding y*** back that emudeck didn't detect the switch firmware, despite it being there, and due to this not being able to reset y*** configuration? I need it to restore my backed up saves and restore all the symlinks
You mean the bios checker in EmuDeck? I haven't. Are you positive it is in the right place? Y*** is weird as hell on Deck/EmuDeck.
@@Darkuni yep, that bios checker, it's definitely in the right place. although i did do the emudeck backup from my previous install (had to factory reset deck). but even when my backup ones didn't work, I even went and got the latest keys and firmware and still somehow it's not recognised
@@Meiloorun hmmmm I'll have to put everything back for Switch on my deck later and see if I have the same thing.
You stopped right before talking about Emudecky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to install emudecky after the initial install
Great video!
I've been using dolphin for game cube emulation and some of the control schemes are awful. Because I've used the Emulation station front end, does that mean i cant set up deck profiles for individual emulated titles? On the steam input ES seems to have various action sets for different emulators yet i cant see one for Dolphin which is odd.
Do you have any suggestions as to how to get steam control profiles for individual titles and whether steam input will work with emulated titles the same as regular steam games?
I don't use Dolphin much, but Emulation Station has its own per-emulator based input settings. If you want to depart from them, you're going to need to create your own input switching (someday I might do a video on that) or you're going to need to inject the game into Steam and use Steam Input from there. Hope that makes sense.
@17:20 how do we get the cover art for ES-DE? Not the games, but EmulationSataion itself? Mine used to be there, I did a fresh install, and now its black, just like yours.
Use Steam Rom Manager or Decky Loader's SteamGridDB plugin. You could set it yourself, if you like. I have videos on all of these.
I recently updated Emudeck. For the emulator that starts with Y, whenever I try to run one of the games through emudeck, it doesn't run and gives an error saying, 'Error: couldn't find emulator 'Ryujinx'... But I don't have that Ryujinx installed and don't want to use it. Do you know how I could fix this? I have checked to see if I have all the files in the correct location for Y, as shown in your video.
If you're using steam rom manager? I can't really help you. Emulation station? I can help you out there.
@@Rubayeth123 ... and you used the settings change as I show in the video? It should be working ...
@@Darkuni which particular setting change are you talking about. I checked and did the part in 19:34 again
At 20:10 I clicked the file and Y ran normally. Emulation station doesnt seem to want to run Y or detect it.
@@Rubayeth123 Crap, I may have clipped that out by accident. You need to change the default emulator. MAIN MENU->OTHER SETTINGS->ALTERNATIVE EMULATORS ... I'm guessing you can figure it out from there.
Damn this is already old looks totally different today. I updated this crap and now theres nothing in my collections folder thanks emudeck
For those in the same boat getting the " I don't do emulation" response....ok yth u buy a steamdeck that's what it's for...anyway Go ahead and uninstall and then reinstall emudeck.
Then after that, do the same with emulation station. Everything went back to normal for ME after that. Good luck.
@@georgecalderon6024 Gonna say .. last I looked, this video was still current. Glad you got it worked out.
Confused on setting mine up. My bios folder doesnt have folders for certain emulators. Do i just create folders for those?
No, the BIOS files all go in the ROOT of Emulation/bios ... there are a few RARE exceptions, but as a rule? Put all bios files in the ROOT, not in a system named folder. Most "bios packs" you obtain online aren't very clean. I wouldn't recommend using them - just take what you NEED from them. Unfortunately, mine is messy because I pulled the bios files from my Anbernic handheld boot card - not the way I should have done it.
Hiya wonder if you can help. Upgraded to esde v3 few days back after having a fully working emustation. Have finally got it back to where its about to run "scanning games" it gets half way through the process and just crashes the app. Any ideas? Any and all help would be amazing as its now making my brain ache
cheers
This is something new to me. I haven't seen this. My guess is that one of your games has an odd filename and it is blowing up ES DE. Check ES DE's log file for any clues as to what is crashing it.
The screen is different at 9:38 now. I got ES-DE (Program) injected into steam, but it won't open. I tried re-injecting (repeating the steps at 9:27 and it did not work. Any insight?
Can you drop by the discord tomorrow? Someone else reported this and I would like to get to the bottom of it.
When I first used steam rom manager I could just add individual games to steam without it trying to add every emulator to my library. These new emudeck updates are driving me nuts. I just want to add a game.
People ask why I don't like or use SRM (outside of getting Emulation Station installed) - this is why. The app isn't great. It breaks a lot and the experience seems to change from version to version. ALL my emulation is controlled via ES-DE - and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Can u pls help me, my game shows up in steam rom manager but doesnt show up in the emulator folder i have to search and add it .
Not 100% sure the question here. Drop by our Discord and join #steam-deck and throw some more details in there.,..
I setup location as symlink per your recommendation. Is there a video on how to change to another card?
@@DaGai it's really just remaking the symlink. Super easy.
@@Darkuni Is it like updating the symlink I created previous or do I follow the steps again to create a new symlink? TY for a quick response btw tho!
@@DaGai So, you would prep the new card - copy your Emulation folder to the new card. Put the new card in. Delete the EmuVirtual folder, recreate it using the new card's path. That's it.
@@Darkuni Sounds easy enough. Can I keep the existing emulation folder if I plan on switching back and forth?
@@DaGai mmmmmm.... I THINK so. There are probably challenges in there somewhere. I guess I should do a video and touch on a split install...
The file literally just says emudeck desktop and won't open or anything. It's a text file for some reason? I don't understand. I can't even ask someone else to do this it's so convoluted
Did you put it on the desktop? It won't run anywhere else. There is also the possibility you said "OPEN" instead of "EXECUTE" and that will open it in a text editor. You'll have to reset that behavior if you did.
Thank you for the tutorial! I can see the game in ES-DE but when I launch it, it'll just go back to the ES-DE main page again... What could it be? There aren't any ROM alternatives and I also have the according BIOS
You'll need to look at the esde log file and see what it says isn't working.

I have a couple of questions. I am seeing multple artwork for the same game for Sega Saturn. I put my Sega Saturn game folder with the bin and cue files in it, into the roms folder. I opened up SRM, and saw the multiple artwork. I added only one to Steam. Is it ok to delete the multiple artworks? Also, how can I remove the games from Steam after injecting them?
The better thing to do is run the ISO Compression tool and it will take all those multi-file games and up them in a SINGLE file - which will actually solve everything. :)
I see. So in the case of Sega Saturn, I would compress the .bin and .cue files into 1 chd? Also, how do I remove things I have put into Steam?

Does Emulation Station see your games?
My external sd card path just says “/run/media/deck/external” and doesn’t give a u inquest device #
The number is issued to any device that is mounted that doesn't have a name. Most people do not name their SD cards; so the system assigns it a unique, long winded ID.

I start up, say, my N64 emulator and accidentally figure out how to make the controller work and switch back and forth from gamepad to desktop mode but I can't for the life of me figure out how to bring up the menu so that I can quit out without turning the power on my steamdeck all the way off and back on again. I'm actually very new to the steamdeck. I got it like two weeks ago so that I could game at my girlfriend's house among other places and I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do anything on it other than gamemode.

I can't get it undone. I have now only selected the simulation station in the Roms software. But the thousand games remain under “non-game games”.
So how do I convert iso files to proper PS3 files?
When you dump your PS3 games, you elect the format to save them in. Use JBFOLDERS instead of ISO. Should be fine. I do not know of a "converter" to do so.
Ugh... when you click on EmuDeck, it brings up a menu with the Bios Checker... when I click on EmeDeck it brings me back to the start of the installation... this is way too overcomplicated, i think im just going to give up.
That's strange. The file you download should disappear after EmuDeck installs.
Getting this annoying issue where Emulation Station doesnt Launch from the Steam Library...
Going to attempt.to reinstall everything but i need to manually delete everything EmuDeck installed to restart the process... being Tech Illiterate SUCKS. Heres hoping i dont delete anything crucial to running the Steam Deck.

Switch not working. What about firmware files for yuzu...
I'm sorry. There is no way to discuss Switch firmware files that isn't blatant piracy. I can't really discuss that here.
I have the problem that Xbox boxarts are not scrapt, only a few. I tried both scrapper.
I would scrutinize the filenames being used for the game. It isn't really great at "fuzzy searching" you may have to do some manual work there.
@@Darkuni Strange because the problem is only with Xbox. On Windows I use Retrobat. It's Emulation Station too and the Xbox scraping is not perfect but it works good and better than with Emu Deck. I think there are more scraper.
@@Vegan_Lifting here's my guess and I have no data to back this up. The way that scraper works effectively is if there's a hash check of your file that matches the scrapers database. These hashes require a lot of CPU to generate but on small files? It doesn't take very long at all. But with an ISO? A big giant disk image? It's not going to be able to hash check those effectively. So it has to go 100% based on the name. If the name has anything funky in it it will kick it back as unfound or you do a manual search and it will show you three possibilities and 99% of the time one of those possibilities is the one that you want. But it's not going to auto scrape it.
@@Darkuni Thanks for your answer. That could be the reason. Tomorrow I will change the names manually and run the scraper. I think I have all my Xbox games in .xiso.

Where do I get bios?
I’ve never had this problem before I’ve done it with the old emudeck but for some stupid reason, I have no bios after downloading emudeck.
OK so it was weird I have to hit like uninstall like I’m gonna uninstall emudeck and then cancel halfway and then it’ll send me to the bios and check all of them because I don’t know which ones to check and it gives me my bios
Nope after I did that I checked bios and they were all green I hit the exit button and it’s gone
So to fix it, I just deleted emudeck and just start over hopefully that’ll fix it still installing it so I’ll see.
Alas, BIOS are copyrighted content - you're going to have to find that on your own. :)
Videos like this make me completely lose any hope that I’ll ever be able to get emulators working on my steam deck… Beginners?
Emulation - per se - is not difficult. EmuDeck is so turn key, it is almost criminal. Chasing BIOS files and ROMS (both of which are illegal of course) is where people hit the wall quickly. Being illegal, nobody on YT or other platforms wants to talk about them for risk of punishment. There are Reddit groups that stick it to the system and talk about these illegalities - but they are transient as they end up getting spanked too, eventually. Emulation isn't for the faint of heart on Windows. On Linux? You MUST get your hands dirty. There just isn't any other way. :(
@@Darkuni finding the bios and roms wasn’t difficult at all, it’s where to put them and how to have the right format. What I’ve realised with the majority of these videos that claim they are for beginners, use all these terms that make a beginners head just start to fizzle like another language is being spoken. Definitely not creators fault, just pointing out that it might not be ‘beginner’ friendly, it’s for people who already have a decent understanding of computers.
