@@JuniorNel21 No brother I don’t, I actually haven’t touched my steam deck in 3 weeks but I still think it’s a good 👍 handheld system. But when it comes to emulators and biosfile no I don’t know 🤷♂️ how to operate it still 😔.

On Retrobat when i hit a Bios check some ate still showing as missing for some reason. Example Atari 7800 and Colecovision each has 2 or 3 not covered in your file nor by Retrobats newest update.
I use retroarch app on my pc and saw retroarch on the list of the link you shared, so my question is do it just download that or download all to use in my retroarch app?
I can't figure this out for emudeck. I unzipped each file and put them I'm my emulation bois files but when I go on the emu deck bios files checkers all my options are red
Yeah it's likely the issue if you don't have the correct bios files. Not sure if the retropie files in this link work. I used. For Batocera not retropie. You definitely need the correct bios for each emulator/collection though.
Hi. Just want to ask. When you are done unzipping the retroarch zip files. What do i need to copy and paste in the system!? Also do i need to unzip all the folders t!?
Ok I have question, when I put a ps1 game in my ps1 list I try to do a description of the game I restarted now all the other descriptions for my ps1 games are gone but the games are still there so I took the SD card out to see if there was any bugs I deleted to theme packs I don't use I put the SD back in my raspberry pi 4 now all my ps1 section is gone so I can't select a game but all my other sections for the other systems are still on there nintendo, Sega etc and to top it off my options section is now missing. What do I do?
I'm very new to this.. Let's say I downloaded Retropie... does that cover all say gaming platforms or will each bios be specific to a platform I.e. arcade, gba SNES, Ps2 etc etc... sorry again..
There are bios files for most collections/emulators. So for example ps1 has a handful neogeo has a handful and so on. With every version of a platforms software sometimes you have to add new bios files too. That doesn't happen often but does from time to time as things are updated.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan This is a stupid question. So I downloaded batocera, do I extract all the items in the subfolders also, which are obviously zip files? I am guessing I need to extract all? I still cannot locate any games in these subfolders. Do I need to obtain these separately?
I’m trying to get my steam deck to run emulation so this helps, do you just copy and paste the files into the bios folder? I’m going to use emudeck and retroarch bios.
Thanks again for the helpful information and I also did the steps for running the retro games. It was amazing seeing the Turbografx cd games run great and thank you for the effort that you put in the video. I subscribed to your channel and keep up the good work.
having a hell of a time trying to find bios files for a few systems to use on emudeck. The list in this file doesnt have anything for emudeck. I'm new to emulation and its been SO annoying to find the bios files for a few systems that i may just say screw it and stick to the emulators that dont need bios files. Like NES, SNES, GB, GBC, etc.. Really wanted to get into ps1 emulation on the steamdeck but im starting to think the steamdeck is just too new to have any real progress in this area. ughhh. I thought bios files were able to be downloaded in individual per-system files and manually inserted into the folders that need them. I didnt know you needed to have emulator-specific files.
Man, I must be so lost as I don't know which are the bios files. I downloaded the RetroArch pack for my series x, but there are several folders, rom zip files, etc. I figured it would just be the bios files and nothing else. I don't know what to look for. I don't see a Wii or GameCube bios file in here.
Sir can you help me? I used 351elec for my rg351v but I can only play gba & snes games... When i click the other games like neo geo or genesis it does not working and sometimes have text about bios but my bios is all intact in sd card.
Do you have the bios that are required for that specific OS? They differ from platform to platform like the RetroPie bios aren't the same for Batocera and so on.
You sir are a godsend. I just got so frustrated with my new Batocera build exactly bc of this nutty bios hunt. I'm about to follow this link, and download the batocera file. Just wondering, can you please breifly respond what happens next? what do I do with the download afterwards? Just extract the files on my pc and then save the files in the bios folder above the roms directory in the Batocera backend file tree? Maybe you can do a tutorial video on getting a similar batocera build solved with bios or file types that work correctly with those commmon emulators? (PS1/PSP/PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube? fingers crossed and thanks a million for this video here!!)
I’ll have to do that for sure! So download them and what I do is I’ll add them to a usb drive then connect that usb drive to the pc I’m running batocera on and copy them over. Are you familiar with accessing files in batocera with a keyboard? You just copy from the usb snd then paste them into the bios folder in batocera. That download gives you all the bios files you’ll need for every system on batocera.
@@OfficialChaseBrogangood stuff, just extracted the files, pasted into bis folder in batocera, skipped instead of replacing the preexisting (duplicate)ones, and off we go. 🤙🏼 2 issues I'll share: my ps1 games have the classic ps1 intro before booting the game itself. 1) can this be skipped?

Hi which bios would I use for wii u and switch games for steam deck please
Is there a way to add the Nintendo Switch emulator on the "kinshank super console X2 pro" via my network? Thx
Not sure but it wouldn't be powerful enough to play those games properly even if you could
Thanks X1000 man, feels like i hit the lotto.

This video totally solved my problem. You are a legend.
dude....you the man...so is that guy the made the reddit...

What’s the difference between Roms and bios ?
ROM is the game. BIOS is a copy of the operating system the game was made for input and output controls.
Bios did not work for ps1 it say firmware Scph5001 missing running with the beetle hw it says missing
Which ones should I use for emudeck?
Any got the mame bios files? It's for retxgold on xbox.
You GODSEND, thank you so much!!!
No problem glad it helped
Which one am I supposed to download for a steamdeck?
I use retroarch app on my pc and saw retroarch on the list of the link you shared, so my question is do it just download that or download all to use in my retroarch app?
Been trying to play platinum for ages, thanks for thus
any time
I have a question to ask I have retroarch installed on my android device what bios pack do I download?
What happens if I put an unnecessary bios files inside the bios folder ? Will it interfere with anything?
Thank you so much dude - life saver - new sub for this.
Hey there. I was wondering if you could tell me why some rims I download won’t load and others will? Is this in the bios or just a crappy rom?
I can't figure this out for emudeck. I unzipped each file and put them I'm my emulation bois files but when I go on the emu deck bios files checkers all my options are red
so like im confused, do i just put the pack in the bios folder, or do they go to different locations depending?
Thanks so much for this man, wish you the best!
I need someone to do this for me because it’ll just be hours spent and I’ll eventually end up with nothing 🤦♂️.
in wicht folder for vita they go?
What BIOS set do i need for Ps1?
Thanks for this.
I got the zipfiles, but i don't know where to extract the content to.
It's so confusing.
Does this have the bios for ps3 emulation as well as Nintendo? I’m sorry I’m new to all of this
Ok mate, i have an important question because this is for my end od course proyerct. I have an arca
