    • @Darkuni
      @Darkuni  11 дней назад

      You are saying you don't have ES-DE in Steam? Are you 100% sure you selected it during the install? Go back to desktop mode and check the "start" button, then ALL APPLICATIONS and confirm ESDE is on the list. If not you'll need to do it from MANAGE EMULATORS. If it IS there, right click it and choose ADD TO STEAM.

    • @Darkuni
      @Darkuni  2 месяца назад +9

      Your memories are slightly faded ... you forgot the part where you had to get some keyboard->controller driver because the emulator didn't support controllers; only keyboards. If it did? It didn't support YOUR controller - so you either needed a tool that remapped XINPUT to DINPUT (or vice versa). Oh, and if it was supported out of the box? The controls weren't mapped - you had to do that yourself (or at least change the dumb ass one that the developer premade for whatever reason). Heaven forbid you had some sort of custom controller like a fighting pad or arcade controller - that's really just keyboard mapping only.
      You may not remember - but Pepperidge Farms (and I) remember.
      You also didn't get a nice easy to access display of your games. Hey, not everyone likes to scroll through a directory listing of 4000 roms ... No favorites .. no sorting ... No per game customizations. No save states. MAYBE FFW but no rewind... Certainly no choice of compatibly cores ...
      Of course, back then ... ? Roms weren't encrypted ... half the code needed to run games at all wasn't locked inside an encryption chip covered in anti-tamper glue. You didn't need a half a GB of "firmware" to make anything run either. Game roms were 8kb and not 8GB.
      A simpler time - for sure. But we don't live in simpler times anymore. That's why these things exist.

    • @Fosho-c6j
      @Fosho-c6j 3 месяца назад

      That is because in Game Mode, EmuDeck uses steam input to facilitate controller settings so you don't have to mess with it. Multiple controllers will only work in desktop mode since you don't use the steam input there.

    Another awesome tutorial! Even with EmuDeck already installed, I always manage to learn something new from your videos.
    Have you ever thought about doing a guide on installing a ZX Spectrum Next emulator, like CSpect or ZEsarUX? I believe both are supported by Emulation Station, but they’re not available through EmuDeck. I’ve been searching for how to install them on the Steam Deck with little success. It would be amazing if you could explore this topic. The games on Next look fantastic!

    • @Darkuni
      @Darkuni  3 месяца назад

      Thing is - I don't know much about the ZX Spectrum. I could look into it - but if you're 100% unfamiliar with the platform? It makes it damn challenging since you don't know the media format, quirks with the emulator setup, etc. I'll give it a quick look, though. What would be a good game to feature?

What you need to actually play the games you want to play and do the things you want to do? Becomes more illegal everyday. So you're going to have fewer and fewer people willing to stick their neck out to explain things and show you what to do. There are certain things surrounding emulation I won't touch with a 10-ft pole because I don't want my RUclips channels stricken from the record. If emulation means something to you? You're going to have to roll your sleeves up and start getting at least familiar with the inner workings so that you can continue to enjoy it after these companies go after us trying to help you.
