Supermodel is an amazing retro game emulator that covers the entirety of the Sega Model 3 arcade board...so that means Daytona 2, Virtua Fighter 3, Sega Rally 2 and a TON of best Sega games ever! and now that you can get Supermodel Steam Deck support let's talk about Steam Deck emulation for retro gaming...Sega Style!
Note: to access test menu use the virtual keyboard and keys 5,6,7,8 to navigate. If you are getting errors or games not launching uninstall and reinstall Supermodel via the EmuDeck desktop app
When enough of you keep asking me for the SAME THING I try to listen...so here we go; Steam Deck coverage! But of course this is a retro gaming channel so it's not like we are going to talk about modern PC Gaming on the Steam Deck...we are going to talk about the new updates to EmuDeck as we now have EmuDeck 2.2 with Sega Model 3 emulation via the Supermodel Emulator, Sega Model 2 emulation with Model 2 emulator, More Dreamcast and NAOMI emulation with the Flycast emulator and Atari Jaguar emulation with BigPEmu!

I spent hours yesterday playing Daytona 2 and Scud Race Plus! It was enough to drag me away from my FF7 Rebirth play through!
I’m too damn lazy to play Rebirth. I don’t have those hours any more 🤣
Same, I enjoyed lots of those 2 yesterday. Came here for more game suggestions.
ive been waiting for these emulators forever lol i'm super happy
So many people are :)
I can tell you're Hollywood-level production quality. No one else covers content the way you do. Thanks for showcasing this obscure but awesome arcade machine and games on Steam Deck!
Always happy to do it :)
I would say it's better than Hollywood, because he doesn't have to kiss anyone's ass.
lol I’ve gotta kiss all yours and make you happy with daily content 🤣
@@VideoGameEsoterica 🤣
Thanks! I’ve been waiting for a simple way to emulate these games for DECADES!
Super appreciate it. Glad this helps :)
First VGE once again fantastic work here for our community!!!😎 I just wanted to say that your widescreen settings work for me in this when I run it through ES and not the standalone Supermodel EMU, Model 2 works in the same I just edited the “start in full screen” line into the INI file to 1 same as you advise here, for anyone who is wondering….Thanks again sir!
Good to know. I’ll take a peek next time I play some games NOT for the channel lol. So this time next year 🤣
thanks!! hoping for a model 2 video next!
Next Saturday 8 am CST :)
I just got everything set up on my computer for a ton of different emulators, and I was worried bringing it all over to the Steam Deck I'll be getting in a month or so would be as time-consuming and cumbersome as that, but seeing how easy it seems to be to set up Emu Deck, Emulation Station etc gives me so much relief!
Yes it’s def not near as cumbersome as you’d think
My dream arcade cabinet to own is Gunblade with those massive vibrating guns. It adds so much to the game that it's not the same without them.
Yes the giant plastic controllers with the force feedback def sell the experience
Great vid as always VGE, but you might wanna do a quick edit to remove some titles from showing up, think there was a little bit of a mistake in the game list. Keep up the awesome work, great channel.
Lolol I saw that after the fact. Parser had a field day screwing up Model 3
@@VideoGameEsoterica Gothca, take care
As a new steam deck owner I’m all here for this!
Good time to get in on the fun
@@VideoGameEsoterica thankfully, just in time to set up certain emulators with required files before certain negative things happened.
Haha very good timing
Just a question, how do you access the settings for Model 3 so I can change difficulty etc… I can change it in Model 2 but can’t seem to find the right button to do this for Model 3. Great video by the way. Your guides are truly helpful. Playing Daytona 2, Scud Race and other games on the SD is amazing. Thank you!
Key 5/67/8 will access the test menu. Glad you find the tutorials useful :)
@@VideoGameEsoterica Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. 👍🏾
👍
Great video as usual! I was able to get supermodel 2 and 3 working before this update and it was a pain so thank you for this. No widescreen is a deal breaker for me at the moment though but I know this just came out.
Question…have you (or anyone else) got a flight stick working for SW trilogy? I still haven’t yet on the steam deck.
It’s odd widescreen isn’t working yet. Should be by toggling the INI stuff. But still early days
Thank you so much for all your guides, but especially this one. So many great games here that Sega either never brought out or are putting in Yakuza games (which I'm fine with, but I'd prefer a standalone setup.) Really doing the lord's work here, I tried for hours cobbling a solution together in Windows so I'm sure yours is a big improvement, can't wait to try it out!
At least Sega is putting some in Yakuza lately. Better than nothing
@@VideoGameEsotericaYeah definitely way better than nothing, I'll def be picking LADG and the new one up on deck eventually. Hope we get more in the future or even a standalone release but yeah I waited so long for Daytona 2 I'll take it however I can get it.
Haha that’s basically every Sega fan now. Fine I’ll play it in Yakuza. Whatever. Just keep doing it
@@VideoGameEsotericaSo true, I think long time sega fans know we can't afford to be picky at this point. I'm just glad the Yakuza games are so fun that the arcade games turn out to be a bonus for me, rather than the other way around.
@@VideoGameEsotericaWow, just played Sega Rally 2 for the first time. I had it on DC but always knew it felt off compared to the first on the Saturn. I can tell some of the mud effects probably aren't quite accurate but man, it feels amazing! Thanks again for the tutorial what a great day for Sega arcade fans. I've never seen a Daytona 2, SCUD, or Sega Rally 2 arcade game in person, so to me these are like holy grails of gaming.
Formerly $20K machines can be played on low end $500 hardware. I love technology advancement. Model 3 had a unique look, a more redefine Model 2 tech. I think it uses quads like the Model 2 and Saturn which lends to unique look along with micro textures. I mean Scud Race or Super GT or whatever you want to call still looks good almost 20 years later along with Daytona 2. VF3 does look dated now, but VF3 is the M3 game I played the most.
Model 3 in the 90s just blew everything else out of the water. Sega could have probably charged 30K and gotten away with it
Wow, you have even 4 original model 3 pieces of hardware. Impressive. They was so expensive at the time.
What would you suggest for emulate the original arcade versions of Midway Cruis'n World, Cruis’n USA and Cruis'n Exotica on Steam deck? Emudeck, Batocera or what else?
I saw the N64 version of them on a Raspberry pi running Batocera once and it's much worse than the original one I used to play at the arcades. Mame has some graphics trouble with Cruis'n exotica.
Just MAME current for World. Exotica doesn’t emulate well anywhere yet
Oh baby, my most anticipated tutorial ❤
Thanks dude. FYI it might say cannot install. Any ideas?
It’s been having some issues. Server might be getting hit hard. Restart deck and try again. It will work but it’s being temperamental
same here
Brilliant video and so useful. Im a complete novice when it comes to emulation so guides like this are a godsend. Please could you do a similar video for Model 2 if it isn't too much trouble? Or provide me with some pointers as to how to get Model 2 set up and working? It would be very much appreciated.
Model 2 is already scheduled for next Saturday :)
You're an absolute legend.
Thanks :) just sub if you haven’t as thanks
Hey there. Firstly thanks for tutorial.
Quick question. Following your tutorial, everything works apart from sega rally 2.
Sega rally 2 works when I test in pc though.
All I get is a black screen via steam deck.
Anyone experience this?
Sega rally 2 needs a slightly higher clock speed to run well on PC so perhaps it’s preventing it from running AT ALL on Deck. All I can think of if it’s working on PC
I'm getting the same right now, not sure what's going on..
I must have done something wrong. I updated Emudeck and installed the model 3 emulator but my roms folder for model 3 doesn’t have any of those files or folders in it. It’s just empty except for the system info. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and no luck.
same here
It may have been legacy files when I was fooling around with proton. Just drop the roms in the folder. Will work :)
See above
me too
Definitely does not work, pretty confident it's broken right now@@VideoGameEsoterica
Can you please help me? I can get the games working on Steam, but I can't control anything. The only two buttons that work are the start button and the B button, and they both just exit the emulation. I also can't get the emulator on its own working, that doesn't even open. Any ideas on what I could do?
Hey VGE, did you manage to run VF3 or VF3tb? No matter what I do I cannot get those games to run, they just boot back to SteamOS, and so does about half the library. Have no problem running the same games on Supermodel on PC... I'm at a loss.
You need merged roms. A diff set than people normally use
@@VideoGameEsoterica I'll poke around - thanks!
@@VideoGameEsoterica Problem solved - you actually need the UNMERGED rom set as confirmed by the Emu Deck / Supermodel documentation, also a particular version of the set is recommended.
Ahh I knew it was something but I remember merged. Coin flip lol
Oh... hmm, looks like someone didn't hide their... mature titles. No judgments. Thanks for the tutorial!
Haha that’s what Steam rom manager parsed it as. I left it in for the laughs. I told them about it on the emudeck forums when it happened
Do you think the fact I already have supermodel installed from before emudeck is why the files etc aren’t showing up in the roms folder? And perhaps linked to the reason why games exit to steam is when I press start in them?
same here, I think its just broken at the moment
@@syygnis it’s not showing up in your roms folder either and pressing start closes the games?
No I don’t believe so
Exiting when pushing start. Are you playing in desktop mode? If so start is the exit button. Hold start to disable this. Alternatively play in gaming mode.
@@MRHYDE3891 ahhh. I was testing on desktop mode yes. Thanks very much for the tip!!
Daytona 2 doesn't look like it's aged a day, still looks incredible. Actually, supermodel in general!
The games aged so well due to their colorful art style
@@VideoGameEsoterica Agreed. I always think japanese developers in particular know how to use colour in their games.
Especially Sega
Will model 3 show up as an Emulator on old version 2.0 of Emudeck? I heard lots of 2.2 issues so dont want to update yet. Is manual install complex?
No it will not. Update will have to happen. Manual install is a chore
Does Model 3 work with older Emulator Station or do you have to upgrade to the new ESDE?
Which system will it show up in Emulation Station?
I don’t use ES myself so I’d have to check
@@VideoGameEsoterica Emulation Station is great since you can keep thousands of emulated games separate so they don't clutter your Steam library. The gui is very slick and makes it like a console
One day I’ll check it out
@@VideoGameEsoterica its really easy to setup from Emudeck. You're halfway there
Ive just been playing LA Machine Guns. Seeing what controls i like best. Thumbstick, trackpad. Found that i like using the gyro best. 😊
Gyro is good. I like track pad myself
hello, why do you need all the different variant of the game ? (swtrilgy + swtrilgya etc) i removed everything and just kept the main file and its working fine, i cant figure out what are the other files. Also there was an update for Supermodel, works directly in emulation station without any manipulation.
The variants are regions. If you don’t want all the regions then the main file is fine
Awesome tutorial! Were you able to get Star Wars Trilogy and Virtua Fighter 3 to run as not working for me.
I’d have to check. I did not test every game
I got Star Wars running yesterday. Runs perfectly. I just had to invert the thumb stick otherwise it was unplayable for me.
Good to know :)
@@VideoGameEsoterica my new gyro setup works even better than the inverted thumbstick now though. I've just learnt how to setup my own different and named control schemes within Steam so I'm gonna create a few different ones. 😁
That’s the great part about SteamOS and Deck. Infinitely configurable
I'm not quite sure what is wrong with my supermodel. I installed it via emudeck however there are no executables in the roms folder, and obviously whenever I try to open a game or even the emulator itself it can't open because it effectively doesn't exist. Honestly baffles me.
Those may have been from my proton tests earlier. You may have bad game files
There are no executables in my roms folder. Just the readme file and the games I’ve added. Works fine.
That may have been me from last year setting it up manually too
@@MRHYDE3891same here
@@VideoGameEsotericaI mean maybe.. doubt it doesn't make sense. Tried a different acquired version of the game still doesn't launch.
very cool can you do model 2 next i cant seem to get it working
Next Saturday
@@VideoGameEsoterica great thanks, question on model 3 how do i quit out of model 3 games back to the game list in emulation station? i cant to it the usual way by holding start/select, i have to press the steam button and exit that way then it kicks me out of emulation station and i have to load it up again
I never use emulationstation so that’s one I don’t know
That's weird about wide screen mode not working. Can you confirm that any config options are being picked up at all?
Yes other items I altered in INI adhered
love your videos so have a sub
Appreciate it 👍
some of the roms dont work on my steam deck starwars,virtua fighter 3, virtua on 2 and virtua striker i just get a black screen any ideas there? everything else works great
You need a diff set for Deck in spots
@@VideoGameEsoterica any hints?
I might google archive unmerged rom set
Excellent tutorial! All other Sega Model 3 zip files work fine except Star Wars Arcade Trilogy upon opening a black screen appears and nothing afterwards, any ideas how to repair the zip? Thank you in advance
Yes that one seems to have issues
Thank you for your reply, do you have any thoughts on a potential fix or setting adjustment?
Thank you again
I've just been thinking about playing spikeout on steam deck
Such a fun game.
Crazy seeing this work on a handheld lol. You probably just need to set a widescreen resolution. It probably defaults to 4:3
It’s fun to see it on a handheld for sure
I'm launching the games through Emulation Station and for some gun games it uses the left stick and Not the left pad. Some doesn't use neither the stick nor the pad. What do I need to do in order to use the pad and how do I do it? Also, How do i decrease sensitivity of the stick in racing games and Star Wars Trilogy Game? Thanks!
I 'm looking forward to the Model 2 tutoria.
I’m not sure as I don’t use emulation station. I launch from library and then rebind as needed
…haven’t tried to add the games using emudeck yet but do rumble and save states work automatically? Rumble adds immersion for the driving games especially Sega Rally and save states as in saving high scores/best racing times when exiting the game (which I believe is a function of the NVRAM file).
Saving yes. I had no feedback when I played
@@VideoGameEsoterica ok good to know. Thx for the quick reply.
👍
To get Wide-screen try adding these lines under ;graphics - XResolution=1280 and YResolution=800 for Steam Deck
V Sync can be added with VSync=1
I’ll give it a go
Let me know if it works. I did a post a while ago on Reddit to get Model 3 running, this is what worked. @@VideoGameEsoterica
Took me ages to find that config file. My guess is it's because I've no microsd card installed so my files are in a different location. A hidden folder home/.supermodel
Will give this wide-screen solution a go now. I wonder if there might be setting in this file to make Lost World work. ie no huge bright reticles for 2 players and can't shoot off screen to reload.
I'm also wondering how specifying a resolution that works for the SteamDeck will work when I dock to my tv.
The Sega Model 3 to Steam Deck VGE? Count me in for sure. 8^)
Anthony..
Every Sega fan and Steam Deck owners dream
Thanks for this great video. Supermodel runs fine on Steam Deck, but when I put it in docked mode, the resolution goes crazy (21:9 maybe?), the image is squeezed and I can't change the resolution or aspect ratio. Strange, but it also runs significantly faster. Any ideas?
That’s odd. I’ll have to ask around. Haven’t seen that
But lock v sync to 60. My guess is your panel is faster than 60 which can affect speed
Mate. You don’t have ski champ do you? For the life of me I can’t change the view. I’m stuck in first person. It’s driving me insane 😩
Try D pad. But also check the INI and see what it’s bound as. May need to rebind controls in the steam deck controller menu
@@VideoGameEsoterica I don’t suppose you know how to get to the ini file? I can’t even get to the model ui on the deck.
It’s in the roms folder I believe. Or where the emulator files live on your emudeck install
@@VideoGameEsoterica yeah they are all in launchers. But it doesn’t launch 🤷♂️
Is there a way to modify the sensitivity for the left analog stick for Star Wars Trilogy ? Kinda goes way too quick.
You can change analog settings in steam deck settings
Just to let you know in a recent update, all that data is gone in the Model 3 folder. Only Model 2 has data now. The games do start in Emulation Station, but anytime I get a game to even start it just crashes. A lot of work still needs to be done.
Thanks for the heads up
If Model 3 is 10/10, how would you rate Dreamcast?
100/10 🤷🏻♂️ lol
@@VideoGameEsoterica
😁 I mean as hardware.
8/10. Impressive but not Model 3 levels of revolutionary
@@VideoGameEsoterica
Thanks.
👍
Thank you!!!

Is there a setting that will make the game you choose from your library actually run itself? All my games will take me to the emulator front end. I pick a game like Mario kart for dolphin, instead of running that game I get the dolphin menu and can pick a different game if I wanted to.
Unless the rom is listed as "standalone" which will open as itself. I am sure its just a string or something that needs to be added to the startup script. Its like that for most of my roms.
Should just open the game from the library and boot it into the emu
@VideoGameEsoterica well Im of the mind that if Im picking a game, that should load. Flycast is through retroarch. So if I choose a DC game (daytona) it should just load up the game and play. But it loads up retroarch, and i have to load the core (flycast) and then load the content.
Has there ever been a setting that just automates all those steps? I know your edits strip out those steps so many (like me) think it should be like on the console. And some games will parse with "stand alone" next to their titles and those do exactly as they say. They just open right to the game which is nice.
There are no extra steps. It should launch RetroArch into the game. So I’m not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing
Great video!Need assistance though, Star Wars Trilogy is immediately dropping, one second or so then back to game page.
I don't know if anyone else has this issue but on my steam deck I have emudeck installed and ive been trying to get the the fast forward option to work on retroarch. the game get stuck after fast forwarding and when i turn it off it crashes.
I haven’t experienced that but I can’t remember the last time I used fast forward either
Why would these games work on desktop mode in steam but not on game mode?
File path issue more than likely. Uninstall and reinstall the model 2 emulator and try again
@@VideoGameEsoterica thanks! Have we figured how to enhance the resolution on model 2 and 3? Amending the ini files doesn’t do anything at all.
In comparison to other deck emulators, I've been having some issues with this and model 2.
- House of the dead: I can't reload, doesn't matter what button I press or where I shoot. Also, if both trackpads are enabled in emulation station, the game defaults to left stick control. It's weird.
- Lost World: Crossair is way too big and player 2's crossair is there at all times. Doesn't matter if P2 is playing. The game also runs too fast.
- Ocean hunter: worked fine, still runs way too fast.
Also, for some reason I can't configure controlls in either emulator. I can't find an ini file in either emulator's directory.
I hope these issues get fixed some time soon.
The tutorial for Model 2 next Saturday will teach you how to enable reloading in HotD but spoiler…go into controller bindings in Steam OS and bind whatever button you want to right mouse click. Then you will have reload
@VideoGameEsoterica Thank you. Also, I found out what the issue was with the game speed on model 3 games.
The framerate is tied to the refresh rate, so OLED model users have to turn it to 60 to avoid the game running faster.
Ahh good to know. I have the OG Deck
For some reason, after the emudeck update, there's no vita emulator when I go to rom manager. Has this happened to anyone else?
I’d have to ask around
Im going to try and get the Android version of Emudeck installed on my hacked switch and see if i can get Model 2/3 running. I just havent bit the bullet yet i know its going to be a pain to setup
I haven’t tried that yet. Lmk how it goes
Anyone know how to get model 2 working ?
Also a way of re adding yuzu
Basically,how do we get model 2 working
And where to get a copy of yuzu and add it back in
Thanks
Yuzu should not have been removed. I’ll have a Model 2 tutorial next weekend
Anytime I mention I'm a Sega fan most people assume I strictly mean genesis era. But no, I mean Model 2, 3 , naomi, hikaru and the like.
Hikaru fan! Nice
Anyone know how to add a game to SRM without it resetting the artwork to existing games within the same emulator on the Deck?
Thank you sir, how about model 2?
Saturday video will go out
Why is this video unavailable may I ask?
It’s unavailable?
@@VideoGameEsoterica yes it says video unavailable when I click on it.
Odd. I tried. Totally fine
Just tried again. Seems fine. Maybe your local server is down? Not much I can determine from my end
@VideoGameEsoterica hmm ok that's weird. It's the only video of yours I've had that issue with.
Thanks for trying
i cant get star wars trilogy to launch anyone else having this issue? Daytona USA 2 and scud race run fine.
You need to change stretch to 1 also and then it's in full screen
I’ll have to check. I don’t have stretch enabled in windows and it’s always been proper 16x9. Odd
Sir can you please make a new video on how we can play our switch games without yuzu
Maybe in the future
@@VideoGameEsoterica ……PLEASE for the love of GOD WE NEED YOU!!
I’m waiting to see how it all shakes out
Super GT keeps looping on no network connection
Go into the test menu and set the cab to single from master. Buttons 5/6/7/8 will control everything
@@VideoGameEsoterica lol and how to access test menu?!
5/6/7/8 haha
@@VideoGameEsoterica what the heck is 5678 on a steamdeck
Use the virtual keyboard. Press the numbers 5, 6, 7, or 8. This will get you into and let you navigate the test menu. Open the virtual keyboard by holding down the steam button and pressing X
I'm still trying to get star wars trilogy working
I believe it’s a rom set issue
@@VideoGameEsoterica any clue where I can get a good one. Downloaded so many versions and just can't get it working... Jurassic park lost world works perfect
Sega Rally runs too fast. Star Wars Trilogy controls aren't quite right. Using the touchpad to aim is useless.
Have you got a peg on your nose?
A peg?
Do you own all those games? Mr "I have the real hardware and can play it anytime on my PVM" or are you just a pirate locked in the closet?
My closet doesn’t have a lock on it. So it’s easy to escape. You almost got first comment through. Better luck next time!
Bro everybody who isn’t an idiot pirates everything so who gives af. You’re already paying for internet you square.

Thx 4 the video, but when I launch scudrace I'm unable to change the board option and after " cancelled, network board not present", emulator remains in the loop and the game doesn't start. Any help will be appreciated
Go into test menu and set it as single not networked
Try a different file. Skuda works. Skud doesn’t. Skudplus works so long as you also have skud in your roms folder.
Also how do you access the test menu out of interest?
