Note: 1: The RPCS3 Emulator updates on March 27th somehow broke the steam deck controller in gaming mode. Here is the Fix: Go to Steam Deck Desktop mode - open standalone RPCS3 Appimage - configuration - Pads - Under Play1 - change Handlers to Evdev then under devices it should show Microsoft -Xbox 360 Pad 0 - click save. that's all Now, the controller will work in both desktop mode & gaming mode. Also, make sure controller template layout is using Gampad with joystick trackpad in gaming mode. 2:if the HDD0 folder is missing. you can manually create hdd0 folder. go to rpcs3 emulator manage virtual files system - select dev_hdd0 tab then click + icon navigate to your PS3 Emulation folder - click choose. the hdd0 folder will be created for you.
Hello! I have an issue with Ratchet and Clank 2007 on Steam Deck, im using Emu Deck and RPCS3, in game i cannot use gyro somehow, only if i unable sixaxis in option, but then i cannot use some guns properly, do you have any solutions?
I followed all your steps and I gues I have the most updated version of RPCS3. I am trying to play God of war chains of olympus (the PKG version) and even though I can have it launch in both desktop mode and game mode the default control setup for SDL does not work. I created a custom controller config that was exactly the same as the default Steam virtual controller setup associated with SDL that was called Steam Deck 1 and that worked for Desktop mode. but for gaming mode the custom game controller config was not recognized. I have tried your method "open standalone RPCS3 Appimage - configuration - Pads - Under Play1 - change Handlers to Evdev then under devices it should show Microsoft -Xbox 360 Pad 0 - click save. that's all", but it does not work in desktop mode (not sure about gaming mode). Not sure what else to do. Tempted to just play the PSP version as its probably a lot more straightforward to deal with even though the dodge controls are a little wacky.
Don't get me wrong, having standalone emulators is nice but.. Emudeck was precisely the reason why it exist that you don't have to deal to manually install and configure each emulator... Just click and go
yeah but it also caused nothing but problems, I spent wayyy more time in settings trying to get stuff to work on emudeck than I ever did playing emulated games before I gave up and stopped using it
@@SirSlicer66Jesus christ stop herassing people, both have their ups and downs, emudeck is streamlined and obviously this can cause problems with updates.

Emudeck is good for emulators that are easy to run and will save you time, obviously there is no way around some harder to emulate systems or games, you will need to set them up manually to make them work no matter what, its just how emulation is, nothing to do with emudeck specifically its just how it is.

@@scottcaramelI really would like to know the problems you have had, the only thing i can think of is when they moved yuzus prod keys directory, otherwise i dont know what you could possibly mean, didnt cause for me any more problems than i would have with manually setting up every emulator. It convieniently places everything in one location, convienient predefined steam rom manager parsers which you mostly do not need to touch (i need to admit they probbably require at least some manual configuration especially if you are using playlists for multiple disc games). Otherwise its the same as always you still have the ability to configure each emulator manually they are standalone after all if you wish so you can set them up how ever you want, just dont click on update configurations obviously (which even warns you it will override manual config), thats it. Of course it has the potential to fuck up things with updates too but well, emulators themselve do it as well, in example there is a reason why emudeck uses the windows version of cemu via proton, it just runs much better than the flatpack/appimage version does (i forgot which one cemu is distributed), would you really ever have guessed that by manual configuration? Probbably not.
I was thinking of going the standalone route and your simple guide has made up my mind. Thank you for the guide and I look forward to more great videos
For me, the best setup currently is ES-DE + standalone emulators. I've made some box covers for games by myself, and everything looks and feels great. I'm using it on my PC, but Linux (SteamOS) should also work.
Good stuff for sure. ES-DS + standalone emulators is golden combination. I plan to make ES-DS guide after couple standalone emualtor videos. I think ES-DS + Standalone emulator just beats EmuDeck and it gives you solid & stable emulation experience.
if EmuDeck remove pre-configuration for any emulators emulators will stop working right away and we have to fix the configuration files. I think standalone makes everything is under our own controls. our steam deck and we make the decision lol .

Thanks for the comment. I agree with you. the current way of emudeck updating just don't make any sense. User should have the option to choose update or not. The EmuDeck will just update right away when you accidentally open it up. I have no idea why the Emu team do this way, it feels they have controls for everything you want or you dont want. I hope they can get rid of the current way of updating and make it a truly user friendly app for gamers to use. so we can decided to update or not by ourselves.
You put windows on steam deck you crazy why would you do that most reason I passed on handhelds they have windows so far I don’t handheld but I’m going for steam deck more and more new handhelds are out and reviews are let down
i did everything, but when i launch a game from gaming mode my steam deck controls wont work, only if i launch from desktop mode it works. Any thoughts on how to fix?
make sure your controller layout is using gampad with joystick trackpad in the gaming mode. after launching a ps3 game then press steam button select controller layout.
you can fix the controller this way. the new RPCS3 updates on Mar 27th somehow messed up the steam deck gaming mode. but we can fix this easily go to steam deck desktop mode - open standalone RPCS3 appimage - configuration - Pads - Under Play1 - change Handlers to Evdev then under devices it should show Microsoft -Xbox 360 Pad 0 - click save. that's all Now, the controller will work in both desktop mode & gaming mode.
Am I the only one who installed the stand alone emulator it worked perfectly but after an update I can now only play from desktop mode on steam mode the controller doesn’t work anymore?
Have you try to re configure the controller settings from desktop mode? Also double check if your steam controller layout is in gamepad and joystick mode under gaming mode.

@@providencez9496yuzu and citra are still available. Many people have linked the files on Reddit. And of course the way back machine is quite useful 😁.

I just got a steam deck and i installed emudeck. Its great but i got to admit I'm not a huge fan of how it connects to the internet and runs scripts to set things up and keeps stuff updated. I'm sure its really not a big deal, but I just like the idea of the emulators being self contained
Great step by step tutorial. Love your videos. I’m having some issues with getting my controller to work properly, if I select Steam Virtual Gamepad 1 under SDL, the Steam deck controller does not work in game. I have another selection under SDL named Steam Deck 1. If I select it, it works in game but then I get random on screen keyboard openings. I’m not sure what is going on. Any ideas?
Thank you. I believe you have some controller layouts is on under the gaming mode. You can try to put to virtual gamepad 1 under SDL and then start a game from gaming mode press steam button and put the controller layout into joystick mode.
@@ED4T if I set it to SDL Virtual Gamepad 1 in the emulator and then launch the game from the Steam Deck’s Gaming Mode, I get a prompt telling me that “Wireless controller has been disconnected.

On mine, the games load up in desktop mode but won't work in gaming mode. It freezes on the shader screen In gaming mode. It says something like, loading shaders from the disk.

Thanks for the great guide as always Ed. Are there any hot keys for RPCS3 at all for the Deck? One of my games (NBA Jam - On Fire Edition runs super sped up and I am not sure how to correct this.
np, dude. thank you. you can go to rpcs3 emualtor from desktop and set the hotkeys inside the Emulator. also there is speed you can just from custom gaming setting by select the game then change game custom settings. hope this helps you.
@@ED4Tlike you said - it was an update to RPCS3 that broke the game. A perfect example to go for standalone emulators over Emudeck as you said. Updating the emulator corrects this. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video very informative and explained. I was hoping to emulate GTA 5, have you tried and had issues with this game yet my friend?
HELP This guide is absolutely fantastic, I followed step by step. Game loads up, by none of the buttons seem to work at all, I went to pads and selection what you said. But I tried two games and none of the buttons worked at all. Any ideas? Thanks 😊
“You don’t have to deal with emudeck anymore” you mean the program that sets up all the emulators so you don’t have to and saves you tons of time. Man I am so glad I will be missing out on that. I had far too much time on my hands… How about use emudeck and shut off automatic updates??? There is no advantage of this over just doing that. Sorry but dumb video
you can manually create hdd0 folder. go to rpcs3 emulator manage virtual files system - select dev_hdd0 tab then click + icon navigate to your PS3 Emulation folder - click choose. the hdd0 folder will be created for you.
Hey Ed! I have Skate 3 i downloaded onto my steam deck and it came as a dec.iso file so i transferred it back to my pc to use 7zip to extract it and then moved that file back to my steamdeck and dropped the file into the PS3 Emulation Games folder but it still doesnt show up on RPCS3 what did i do wrong?
Did you drop the game as a single folder into the PS3 emulation game folder. Make sure you move the game folder into emulation games folder. It should just be one folder for the game.
@@ED4T i figured out what i did wrong but i encountered an even bigger problem. I went through each game i have and updated the game's version pkg file. When i closed out the games to make sure they were working properly in game mode i went back to desktop mode and noticed all the updates were gone and for some reason the appimage keeps duplicating when i open it from the ps3 emulation folder. When i open it, it tells me i have an update. then tells me RPCS3 needs to restart so i hit ok and then a new file is created. I spent an hour downloading each individual pkg file just for them to be reset.
@@ED4T when run any game in full screen in gaming mode the image frozes but in window mode does not, may be is the OS because i swap the ssd for de LCD model to the OLED model may be thats the problem
I'm having issue with the controls. My rpcs3 shows 2 devices when i select SDL on pads menu, steam deck 1 and steam virtual gamepad 1. On desktop mode it can only work with steam deck 1 device, not the virtual controller one. But on game mode, neither of those work. Any suggestion on how to fix this?

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 on the mainscreen . It was working before the update
sorry I am not sure what are you talking about. are you using EmuDeck or standalone RPCS3? there is no steam rom manager for standalone emulator only steam library. also, do you mean game wont show up in the emulator game list interface?
@@ED4T for steam rom manager. So for example I would add my games to the folder , for example (gbc) I go to steam rom manger load the art save it. When i go back to steam menue the game doesnt show up in (gbc) i have to type the name in and then add it to the collection. It was working perfect before the update. Its all my games having this issue.
is there any other emulators? even when i right click on the icon for rpcs3 afterimage i get no option to open the file and i running it in console does nothing
Actually, when i'm using emudeck, i'm not using only for PS3 but also other emulators. going standalone for a lot of emulators is so much work to do. But if you just need 1 emulator then yeah, emudeck is too much.
@4Maive go to desktop mode. Software center. Look for rpcs3. Remove it. Then go back into and change sources to flathub only not the user one. Let me know pal
We also need a native way to install 3 more emulators starting with NW, NS, N3 "ahem ahem". I know its very risky but is there any guide I can follow? Looking forward to remove EmuDeck from my system. I still have my old Y installed. Have not updated the EmuDeck after the incidence.

@@ED4T I know what roms rpcs3 uses. I tried using pkg since it seemed easier as all you need to do is get both a pkg and a rap. I got one from a website I found mentioned on Reddit, but I don’t think you’d be ok with me mentioning its name.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING is better than emudeck! If you having problems because of the latest update all you have to do is wipe the old Games DATA! that’s all. I factory reset my Steamdeck, redownloaded Emudeck and it works as intended.
@@SpoonsMcSpoonerreset a Steamdeck to make ED work is a bit exaggerated imo, but may be it’s not about being fanboy, for me it’s just in my case emudeck works perfectly for what I need, I don’t update it because I don’t need it, and I am happy without the need to work hours to configure each single emulator. What is the problem?
That’s if you want Sony to banned your PlayStation account I’m not going to try to play any games that have to deal with PS3 PS4 PS5 your being watched on they know what games you played this year even they will send you an email at the end of this year go mess with PS2 games your not being watched in that has no trophies

I hope they can get rid of the current way of updating and make it a truly user friendly app for gamers to use. so we can decided to update or not by ourselves.
You are my personal hero!!
Could you also possibly please make a tutorial for extracting already existing emulators on Emudeck and making standalone? Reason: Yuzu :(
Yuzu is in the Applications folder, on your home folder on Desktop mode. It's named yuzu.AppImage.
Easy. Go into dolphin file manager. Home/deck/applications all your app images should be there including yuzu.
you dont have to extract them. there are files on internet always.
Wow this is great! I want to see this for Game Cube and 3DS next 🎉😊
will coming soon. stay tuned!
I haven't used emudeck since i put windows on my steam deck. Now i have the tech toy tinkerers emulation station setup and it works great.
You put windows on steam deck you crazy why would you do that most reason I passed on handhelds they have windows so far I don’t handheld but I’m going for steam deck more and more new handhelds are out and reviews are let down
i did everything, but when i launch a game from gaming mode my steam deck controls wont work, only if i launch from desktop mode it works. Any thoughts on how to fix?
make sure your controller layout is using gampad with joystick trackpad in the gaming mode. after launching a ps3 game then press steam button select controller layout.
you can fix the controller this way. the new RPCS3 updates on Mar 27th somehow messed up the steam deck gaming mode.
but we can fix this easily
go to steam deck desktop mode - open standalone RPCS3 appimage - configuration - Pads - Under Play1 - change Handlers to Evdev then under devices it should show Microsoft -Xbox 360 Pad 0 - click save. that's all
Now, the controller will work in both desktop mode & gaming mode.
@@ED4T thanks but this didn’t work for me, I fixed it using a different method tho
That’s great to hear so you don’t have to hanging there.
Am I the only one who installed the stand alone emulator it worked perfectly but after an update I can now only play from desktop mode on steam mode the controller doesn’t work anymore?
Have you try to re configure the controller settings from desktop mode? Also double check if your steam controller layout is in gamepad and joystick mode under gaming mode.
@@ED4T Yes I tried all that unfortunately still running into the same problem

My controller doesn't work in gaming mode, did everything as instructed, don't know what I am doing wrong, help please
Pls check pinned comment. There is an update.
@@ED4T thank you so much for replying, your videos are the easiest, I learned a lot from your videos and now my steam deck is an ultimate emulation machine, all thanks to you, subscribed. Can’t wait to see more vids from you. Please make a video about trainers in steamdeck to use with repacks and how they work. Thanks again for your hard work.
Wonder if you can make a tutorial for yuzu citra and dolphin (specifically for the wii) stand alone as well
will do .
I'm new to steamdeck like less than 24hrs. Now Yuzu is gone from emudeck. Not sure what works. If there is this new video it will be great 👍🏻
@@ED4T is there a guide somewhere to obtain bios files from a switch game that I own? No piracy, just ones I legally own.
@@providencez9496yuzu and citra are still available. Many people have linked the files on Reddit. And of course the way back machine is quite useful 😁. Then all you have to do is install the emulators and then drop them in the emulators folder for emu deck. Boom. You can now play switch and 3DS games again. I do. They work great 😎.
I just got a steam deck and i installed emudeck. Its great but i got to admit I'm not a huge fan of how it connects to the internet and runs scripts to set things up and keeps stuff updated. I'm sure its really not a big deal, but I just like the idea of the emulators being self contained
I am refusing to update Emudeck stuff, since it already works great AND it still has Yuzu stuff on it in case I need it
Updating doesn't remove your installed Yuzu, it just gets rid of the option of installing it for people that didn't already have it.
i have tried this method but the game won't run on game mode after creating the shortcut and deleting the 2 % on properties
I use Retrodeck, it's easy and runs fine.
not a lot ppl use retrodeck. maybe worth to try
@@ED4T its simple, you have more custumization with emudeck but for a simple opcion retro deck
Thank you so much! What does deleting one of the percentages do exactly?
Great step by step tutorial. Love your videos. I’m having some issues with getting my controller to work properly, if I select Steam Virtual Gamepad 1 under SDL, the Steam deck controller does not work in game. I have another selection under SDL named Steam Deck 1. If I select it, it works in game but then I get random on screen keyboard openings. I’m not sure what is going on. Any ideas?
Thank you. I believe you have some controller layouts is on under the gaming mode. You can try to put to virtual gamepad 1 under SDL and then start a game from gaming mode press steam button and put the controller layout into joystick mode.
@@ED4T if I set it to SDL Virtual Gamepad 1 in the emulator and then launch the game from the Steam Deck’s Gaming Mode, I get a prompt telling me that “Wireless controller has been disconnected. Please reconnect the controller and press Start to continue “. The game is Dante’s Inferno but that shouldn’t matter.

nice guide raven!
On mine, the games load up in desktop mode but won't work in gaming mode. It freezes on the shader screen In gaming mode. It says something like, loading shaders from the disk. I read on Reddit that downloading the RSPC3 version from the Dolphin store fixes this but I can't find any RSPC3 downloads on the Dolphin site. Has anybody else had this issue and found a fix?.
When i try to open the game from the shortcut on game it would crash but when open it from rpcs3 on both game mode and desktop mode it will run, what should i do?
did you remove 2x% symbol as i show in the video at 11:00? if you did not do this the shorcut will not work.
Actually yes i did but i don’t know what’s wrong and why it won’t run🥲
make sure no extra space is added or removed when you are removing the % symobal. try to delete the shortcut and create a new one then just remove 2 %.
@@ED4T idk man i did what you told me and its the same i found the shortcut in game mode but when i open it it just crash, should i start from over again?
I get database missing error
Thanks for the great guide as always Ed. Are there any hot keys for RPCS3 at all for the Deck?
One of my games (NBA Jam - On Fire Edition runs super sped up and I am not sure how to correct this.
np, dude. thank you. you can go to rpcs3 emualtor from desktop and set the hotkeys inside the Emulator. also there is speed you can just from custom gaming setting by select the game then change game custom settings. hope this helps you.
@@ED4Tlike you said - it was an update to RPCS3 that broke the game. A perfect example to go for standalone emulators over Emudeck as you said. Updating the emulator corrects this. Thanks again.
Can you PLEASE do a video on how to get the 60fps in Skate 3 as shown at the start of the vid? I'm begging you
I have a problem. When I play mgs4 rom on windows, it works. Then I play on steamdeck (desktop mode) it keep saying boot failed. How to fix this?
Thank you so much for this video very informative and explained. I was hoping to emulate GTA 5, have you tried and had issues with this game yet my friend?
thank you, I have never tested GTA 5 on RPCS3 since its on steam pc game.
@@ED4T ahh yes valid point friend. What about metal gear solid 4, would you check that out one day?
Do all ps3 games work ok using this method? I tried to get motorstorm to work but there is big time lag
HELP
This guide is absolutely fantastic, I followed step by step. Game loads up, by none of the buttons seem to work at all, I went to pads and selection what you said. But I tried two games and none of the buttons worked at all. Any ideas? Thanks 😊
pls check the pinned comment. there is an update on the controller setup.
@@ED4T ah yes, that worked. You're a star, thank you.
I get the point you're tryna get to, however EmuDeck just clears all the clutter and packages PS3, PS2, XBOX and more emulators into one.
Im not having any issues with emudeck, no need for standalones.
good for. you.
“You don’t have to deal with emudeck anymore” you mean the program that sets up all the emulators so you don’t have to and saves you tons of time. Man I am so glad I will be missing out on that. I had far too much time on my hands…
How about use emudeck and shut off automatic updates??? There is no advantage of this over just doing that. Sorry but dumb video
I didn’t get a games folder in my ps3 emulator folder
If you have the hdd0 folder but no game folder just manual create a new folder and name it as game.
@@ED4TThe hdd0 folder is missing too
you can manually create hdd0 folder. go to rpcs3 emulator manage virtual files system - select dev_hdd0 tab then click + icon navigate to your PS3 Emulation folder - click choose. the hdd0 folder will be created for you.
Hey Ed! I have Skate 3 i downloaded onto my steam deck and it came as a dec.iso file so i transferred it back to my pc to use 7zip to extract it and then moved that file back to my steamdeck and dropped the file into the PS3 Emulation Games folder but it still doesnt show up on RPCS3 what did i do wrong?
Did you drop the game as a single folder into the PS3 emulation game folder. Make sure you move the game folder into emulation games folder. It should just be one folder for the game.
@@ED4T Yes it is. It’s the exact same as the other folders i have for games that RPCS3 does Read.
So that means you might gave a corrupted iso file from the original.
@@ED4T i figured out what i did wrong but i encountered an even bigger problem. I went through each game i have and updated the game's version pkg file. When i closed out the games to make sure they were working properly in game mode i went back to desktop mode and noticed all the updates were gone and for some reason the appimage keeps duplicating when i open it from the ps3 emulation folder. When i open it, it tells me i have an update. then tells me RPCS3 needs to restart so i hit ok and then a new file is created. I spent an hour downloading each individual pkg file just for them to be reset.
in gaming mode any ps3 game ,I get a frozen screen , it works fine in desktop mode
Try to recreate the shortcut from desktop and make sure remove 2 %symbols. Do not remove or add any empty space when removing the %.
@@ED4T when run any game in full screen in gaming mode the image frozes but in window mode does not, may be is the OS because i swap the ssd for de LCD model to the OLED model may be thats the problem
Could be possible.
What's the games like as I know not every game will work. Need a good powerful pc for that
I'm having issue with the controls. My rpcs3 shows 2 devices when i select SDL on pads menu, steam deck 1 and steam virtual gamepad 1. On desktop mode it can only work with steam deck 1 device, not the virtual controller one. But on game mode, neither of those work. Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Pls check pinned comment. There is an update
@@ED4T oh i’m so sorry. Yeah it works now on game mode. But in desktop mode it still only works on steam deck 1 device. But that doesn’t matter. So long as i can play on game mode. Thanks a lot 😁
None of my games are adding and I can’t figure out how to convert them to iso format. Any ifeas
And people said steam deck too weak for ps3 emulator
Do the Wii U next please 😊
will do one for sure.
Games folder was not created for me, can I just create it myself?
Yes If it doesn’t then just create your own.
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 on the mainscreen . It was working before the update
sorry I am not sure what are you talking about. are you using EmuDeck or standalone RPCS3? there is no steam rom manager for standalone emulator only steam library. also, do you mean game wont show up in the emulator game list interface?
@@ED4T for steam rom manager.
So for example I would add my games to the folder , for example (gbc) I go to steam rom manger load the art save it. When i go back to steam menue the game doesnt show up in (gbc) i have to type the name in and then add it to the collection. It was working perfect before the update. Its all my games having this issue.
Hi Ed, how do you get the ps3 games to display full screen on the deck ?
You can set the emulator launch gaming in full screen mode by default. There is a setting you can do from desktop mode.
@@ED4T Thanks Ed !
is there any other emulators? even when i right click on the icon for rpcs3 afterimage i get no option to open the file and i running it in console does nothing
Thanks ! 👍
Welcome!
I suppose that if they are no game patch it's because the game do not have one
but it is slow not reactive how do you fix that
Same emulator, 2 ways to have it... I prefer just EmuDeck is easier.
The game when I move it to steam is just called example.desktop and won’t load what do I do about that
What to do when it says another instance of rpcs3 is running and how to fix it on steam deck
When i refresh the ps3 emulator the games dont appear any troubleshooting ideas?

How well does it run Sonic unleashed?
Does anyone know how to do dreamcast without emudeck/retroacrch
it will be covered on this channel soon.
You can look up which emulators Retroarch uses on their wiki and install them separately if you want. Flycast is a Dreamcast emulator you can use.
Anyway get 1280x800 resolution?
Do games run at 60 fps like killzone 3
Nothing and I mean NOTHING is better than emudeck! If you having problems because of the latest update all you have to do is wipe the old Games DATA! that’s all. I factory reset my Steamdeck, redownloaded Emudeck and it works as intended.
How well does it work if you're forced to factory reset your device just to reassert functionality?
you probably have to factory rest your steam deck again soon if their future updates mess up again. just be prepared for next time.
Bro why people fanboy over emudeck so bad I dont get it..?
@@SpoonsMcSpoonerreset a Steamdeck to make ED work is a bit exaggerated imo, but may be it’s not about being fanboy, for me it’s just in my case emudeck works perfectly for what I need, I don’t update it because I don’t need it, and I am happy without the need to work hours to configure each single emulator.
