These are good tips but I want to caution everyone that this goes by a game by game basis, so not every game is going to run too well. In addition, the Steam Deck's native resolution is 1280x800, so I think setting the in-game resolution to 1080 is overkill, I would opt for 720p which is 2x or maybe 2.25, which might bump it closer to the 800p setting. I've got Haunting Ground installed on PCSX2 for Steam Deck, which is playable according to the PCSX2 wiki. I'll have to experiment further to find the best settings.
Yes you’re right it will be game based tips and the steam deck screen is only 800p but when you put 3x rendering 1080p the game just looks sharpe and better than 2xnative on steam deck’s screen and most of game will run at 60fps with 3xnative resolution. So I suggest start with 3x native resolution and then adjust based on performance.
Honestly you’re a legend for this. I’ve wanted portable PS2 gaming since I was like 6 years old. Playing Tekken 4 & Crash Nitro Kart portably is immense
bro i can't find bios and roms for god of war anywhere, is there a way to get them from somewhere, even if I have to pay. I am down even to pay u man... im too desperate ;-;@@ED4T
You earned yourself a subscriber. I usually don't subscribe to channels that are like "one time things that I need", but your work is so thorough and well done, that this is the least I can do. Amazing job!
I wanted to thank you so much. I recently just purchased my steam deck and followed your guide. The EmuDeck app is updated a little bit but overall your guide still can be followed and you make it super easy for a beginner like me to understand. Thank you so much!!!!
It runs so nice on steam deck, first rom i ever tested, ended up beating Dragonworld and unlocking everything. I can understand love for the later games, but budokai 3 is a timeless classic.
Not to be racist. But it's always Asian guys that make the best and simplest walkthroughs in English which isn't their first language compared to the rest of youtube tutorials. You done great when I get my Deck I will follow this video with it. And amazing English as well, way more understandable than natively speaking videos. You're a star buddy
Thanks so much, my buddy. Because of ppl like you keep me going on this channel. It is quite a challenge for me to run an English RUclips channel as a non-native speaker. I usually have to spend triple the time than a native speaker to make those tutorial videos because most of the time I have to speak 2 to 3 times to make my words correctly. but every time I saw my video helped people I think my effort and time are worth it.
@@ED4T I'm being fully honest mate, I think you speak way clearer for us who don't understand the proper terms. It's easy for native speakers to go and speak nonsense that has nothing to do with the video and make it confusing. You speak really well and very clearly and don't mess about. I have subscribed and I really appreaciate the work you do, you helped a lot of people and will help me in the future. Thank you
Thanks, Man! My emulator was working fine before then when emudeck updated recently my PS2 emulator stopped working! I had to get new bios and whatnot so now it works again! Sadly, I DID lose my memory card data but at least it works again! :)
I'm sure it's not that hard for everyone, but I was having a hard time with the bios part, so thank you so much for being the only person to easily describe what to do for that part! Extremely helpful and simple.
I just got my steam deck very recently with the new summer sale, and i was dying to try The Jak & Ratchet trilogies, both were my favorite childhood games and to have them in a handheld is beyond crazy! tyvm for ur guide, you were very easy to follow and made the whole process a breeze !
Wow. This steam deck is a powerfully machine. You got me sold. I just just went online and purchase one and I will be following your guide. I was on reddit looking for a way to play ps2 games on vita and someone recommended a steam deck.
I was having that issue but for the life of me can’t remember what i did to fix it, now I’m having the issue again after installing more games but I just can’t remember how I fixed it 🥲
You are the best RUclipsr when it comes to explaining this. All the other ones make it complicated asf or forget to mention certain things and i appreciate your work👌🏾❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I followed every video for my emulation setup. I am a bit curious where did you get your steam deck skin at the begining of this video?
Np. I got the skin off eBay. Here is the link www.ebay.com/itm/165828521125?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=te_lTAR9Re2&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=te_lTAR9Re2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
You're my hero today. Thanks for teach so good. Finally I'll play ps2 in my steam deck. I'm old and some systems make me feel dizzy to understand. But you cleared everything.
Hey! Not sure if you're still responding to comments till this day but when I load the game in game mode, the PS2 bootup sequence happens, but then it gets stuck on this part where it's all red and stuff. I assume it thinks that there's "no game in the console" or something, but it this makes any PS2 games unplayable. Other than that, the video until this point has been really easy to follow, thank you! Edit: Nevermind! I fixed it on my own! Great video, everything works amazing!!!
I used this video to help set up Kingdom Hearts 2. The screens have changed since this video so it needs to be updated but I figured it out. Steam rom managers is easier to find now
your steam rom manager looks different, mine doesn't have the parse on the left side, creating one gives me directories I needed to fill which I am unable to
@ED4T I have one question, maybe you know how to fix the slowdown issue on docked mode? It slows tremendously down when I play it on the TV, but perfectly fine in handheld mode

Seriously. I was sweating and almost throwing up lol he was so direct:')
100% even as a girl gamer, I love ps2 games and this was sooo easy to follow

Same. I am a simple man.
It runs so nice on steam deck, first rom i ever tested, ended up beating Dragonworld and unlocking everything. I can understand love for the later games, but budokai 3 is a timeless classic.
Tenk 3 also run perfect
Can anyone help me find the bios files?
Exactly
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your PS1+PS2 videos have been amazing. I was able to get all my childhood classics!
Best tutorial ever. He even links the bios files while others keep it from themselves. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
mostly because sharing bios files is technically illegal

Anyone else having an issue where a PS2 game won’t launch from the library? It opens up PCSX2, then goes back to SteamOS.
Have you found a fix?
@@DeeLow52 No
Downgrade the version then you have to put the bios files into pcsxc tools folder
Alright, I’ll try that. How do I downgrade pcsx2?
I was having that issue but for the life of me can’t remember what i did to fix it, now I’m having the issue again after installing more games but I just can’t remember how I fixed it 🥲

Another fantastic video. Thanks :)
Hello friend, why my games is so slow? I using your guide but the game is so slow...
Is your fps limiter on deck off ?
@@ED4T Yup i limit the fps to 30 fps friend, Rogue Galaxy, Xenosaga not wotk, its so slow :(
Turn off the fps limiter that’s cause your emulation game slow.
Thank you for a easy and straightforward tutorial! Much appreciated
When I press generate on the rom manager nothing pops up and it just says to close steam. What do I do here?
Try to close your steam client at background before you run the EmuDeck.
@ED4T thank you, how does one do that?
Thanks for the walkthrough bro! This was easy to follow and exactly what i needed!
Glad it helped!
Kingdom hearts fans in the back, rubbing their hands together
Thanks so much for your videos.
I’ve used this one, and the PS1 tutorial also.
Thanks again 😊
Glad I could help!
So where do I find the file to cut and paste into if I don’t have an SD card
home/deck/emulation
Finally, your video give a hope for me to play all of PS2 title games, Thankyou 🙏
Everything is good.. but WHO IN THE WORLD plays racing game and chooses d-pad instead of analog stick
I'll tell you who! The type of people who'd rather use the d pad instead of the analog stick! Sick bastards.
Thank you, well made tutorial and love that you show your settings!
Thanks!😊
