Steam Deck: The Ultimate EmuDeck Beginner's Guide v3 (EmuDeck 3.x / ES-DE 3.x / Missing Emus)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- v3 Update: Complete with new EmuDeck 3.x and Emulation Station 3.x and new techniques!
I've been asked many times - despite the plethora of EmuDeck videos on youTube - to do a complete beginner's guide to installing, configuring and using EmuDeck.
I did it - but it is already out of date with new versions replacing the old.
Well, here it is. I'll take you through all the features, help you set up "the hard parts" and give you some insight on the tool. As usual we'll "teach" as we "do" - and once you're done with this video - you'll be ready to tackle almost anything within EmuDeck's framework.
Yes, we're going to show you how to "put back in" those recently "removed" Ninty emulators as well. Update: You'll need to set Emulation Station to use Y*** (not shown) ... You need to change the default emulator. MAIN MENU, OTHER SETTINGS, ALTERNATIVE EMULATORS ... I'm guessing you can figure it out from there...

The virtual directory and installing the standalone emulators are two great pieces of advice! I wish I had known about them sooner.
Yeah, I was considering just letting my old video stand (it gets MAD hits) but with all the changes and .. omissions ... along with this technique that would have saved my own ass a couple of times? I felt I NEEDED to redo it.
Followed your old video but haven't really started emulating games, Ill just re-install and follow this update video, thanks
the best beginner's guide for emudeck ever
Great video! Very informative and easy to follow
Fantastic walkthrough! Thank you so much
great updated guide, now we will need a way to move our old Rom location to this new semilink method haha
I'm very curious to know if this can be done using the same process if we already went through this installation months ago?
Great video!
Thanks for the video only video that helped me
I swear downloading emulation for the first time is like going to war.
I feel like that picture of goku when he is in the crater
I'm pleased it helped you.
Fantastic stuff, thanks
Thanks!
Hey MonroeWorld, is it possible to re-route using the virtual symlink method if my setup has already be done the standard way as in selecting the SD card in the inital setup etc I hope this makes sense, would like to use this symlink method but worried it will screw my current setup games and saves etc? cheers
Yeah, I haven't found an "effective" way of updating an existing implementation easily. I have some ideas. Probably on tap for the weekend project.
thanks a lot!
Can you do a guide for those of us holding off on updating emudeck on our decks considering the recent issues with emudeck on recent updates?
Unless you're an extensive user of Steam ROM manager? I wouldn't worry about the upgrade. This video has you 99% covered. If you're one of those people that have like 300 steam items injected? You're going to have to remove them all and put them all back.
@@Darkuni I might be one of them people 😂
@@senorsombrero Yeah, seems like the SRM user took the biggest hit with this new upgrade. So glad I'm not a user of it. I like the idea, but I'm not a "casual emulator guy".
Bro, this video was very helpful!!! Love the additional tricks you added in. It’s going to save a lot of time!
@@thewalkingdino So glad you found it useful!
So my deck just arrived and I’m following along ready to get going. First issue, is that my emudeck install/download is taking FOREVER. I’ve been watching sonic run for a bit now.
Nevermind, watched 10 more seconds and saw the command pop up hahaha my bad
@@kellendavis9885 :) Was about to say .. you SURE you watched the video :P Glad you saw it.
Thanks for such an informative and easy-to-follow video!!
One thing I'm having a ton of trouble with (maybe any pros here can help (please!!)), is how to reconfigure controls for each emulator. I know that Emudeck has hotkeys which is supposed to span across all emulators as efficiently as possible, but for whatever reason, I'm unable to reconfigure any of the buttons even when attempting to do so via each standalone's input settings in Desktop Mode. It's making the whole process of playing the games more confusing and a test in muscle memory than I'd like :(
I've never found it to work "right" in Desktop mode. Not sure why. The controls are always borked.
@@Darkuni Thanks for clarifying! :D I found a bit of a workaround (so far as anything launched via RetroArch is concerned at least), if you're running an emulator and click both joysticks in, it'll bring up the RetroArch menu, go to Quick Settings, then Controls, then the first controller option and from there you can reconfigure the button inputs for that particular emulator. Still haven't found a workaround for the other emulators like Cemu and Dolphin though..!
thank you for all the help ((':
Hi, I followed this video to set up emudeck, and it works amazingly. Thank you. Just a quick question, i followed the guide with a 512gb sd card and wanted to upgrade it to a 1TB sd card with all the content that's on my 512gb card. Can i just copy it onto my new 1TB sd card, and how would i go about this? Please keep up the good work, and your videos are clear and precise, so, i thank you for that. 😉👍
Easy if you used the symlink solution I showed here. If not? You're likely going to have to reinstall EmuDeck after you change cards because the mount point to that card in Linux will be different than the old card and EmuDeck's hard coded values will break.
If you used the symlink, replace the card, remake the symlink and you're DONE. The exact reason why I recommend doing it this way :D
@Darkuni Hi, I did follow your guide to the letter and included the symlink. 😀 but I'm very new to all of this. If you could give me a few quick bullet points on how to do it, or even better, a video on how to upgrade to a larger sd card using your symlink method would be amazing, As im sure a lot of your less technical followers would appreciate, then I would be very grateful. Thank you for your swift response 👍 🙏
@@chris.9595 Good idea for a video. I do have a video for upgrading your SD card, but not specifically to EmuDeck. Essentially, you're going to get the new card in, delete the EmuDeckVirtual sym link and create it again with the new card as seen at 2:38.
Ok, thanks for your time and I'll have a go at that as soon as my 1tb card arrives 😉👍
When I am hitting custom I am getting a different file directory than Dolphin?
This is a very helpful video! After installing EmuDeck though, it doesn't show any of the menus (BIOS checkers, etc), instead it just shows the installation options (easy or custom) - I wonder is this because my steam deck crashes after the installation in desktop mode? FWIW, it seems my deck crashes quite often in desktop mode.
I have no problem running EmulationStation and playing the ROMs from both desktop and game modes, but I was wondering is it better if I just format my steam deck and microSD, and redo the installation all over again? I don't have lots of data or configurations yet (just got the deck over the weekend).
Again, thanks for such an informative video, any help is appreciated!
It definitely sounds like there's something wrong on your deck's end.
I would probably reimage your deck. Just to be sure. If you continue to have crashes? Then I would reach out to Valve and get a ticket opened. Because that is not normal behavior.
@@Darkuni Thanks for the tip! I will take a look at your video from last week on re-imaging then!
thank you so much for some great content. does the games have to go on the internal in order to play them? Id love for them to stay on a HDD thats plugged into the Deck. is this possible? plug and play basically. thank you.
You COULD ... But I don't typically recommend it. The mounting of internal storage and the internal microSD card are handled quite well by the OS. External drives do seem to occasionally have mounting issues. I would certainly use the virtual symlink for the install as shown. Then you can change easily - even if your external drive takes on a new mount point!
@@Darkuni thank you so much for the speedy reply! So it’s best to just stick in a SD card? Would you recommend putting in a new one just for emulation? Thanks so much again
@@TomLally I'm not the biggest fan of the microSD slot on the Deck. I am not sure it would handle a ton of ins and outs. I would put a nice big SD card (if you can swing a SanDisk Extreme - that's recommended).
@@Darkuni Awhh so do this via a USB C to SD card reader? Or even my Ugreen hub thing? Sorry for all these questions. I want to get this right to the T.
@@TomLally Probably easier to answer your questions in our Discord ...
I did that been up for hrs I can’t get it to work with es like I actually have the games in es but it’s fine I can still play doe thanks 🙏
I've been using dolphin for game cube emulation and some of the control schemes are awful. Because I've used the Emulation station front end, does that mean i cant set up deck profiles for individual emulated titles? On the steam input ES seems to have various action sets for different emulators yet i cant see one for Dolphin which is odd.
Do you have any suggestions as to how to get steam control profiles for individual titles and whether steam input will work with emulated titles the same as regular steam games?
I don't use Dolphin much, but Emulation Station has its own per-emulator based input settings. If you want to depart from them, you're going to need to create your own input switching (someday I might do a video on that) or you're going to need to inject the game into Steam and use Steam Input from there. Hope that makes sense.
Ps2 gfx settings would be good to see. Seeing a few games struggle to run at times
PS2 is just like that. Once you hit that generation, performance is typically on a "game by game" basis. :(
Hiya wonder if you can help. Upgraded to esde v3 few days back after having a fully working emustation. Have finally got it back to where its about to run "scanning games" it gets half way through the process and just crashes the app. Any ideas? Any and all help would be amazing as its now making my brain ache
cheers
This is something new to me. I haven't seen this. My guess is that one of your games has an odd filename and it is blowing up ES DE. Check ES DE's log file for any clues as to what is crashing it.
Please sir 🙏! Make a pegasus setup video. Thanking you in advance.
Thank you for the request.
15:13 How can you close an emulated game? Especially when you are launching Emu Station via the SteamOS Steam Library. Which buttons do I have to press to exit? I am currently stuck in a DS Game and dont know how to quit.
For future: Is there a way to look up how all the controls work? (Close Game, Save State, etc.)
And thanks for your awesome guide!😊
Depends on the game. Some games you may have to do some controller monkeying. For retroarch (most of the early systems) it's hold down view and tap menu.
@@Darkuni Thanks for your help and reply😊🙏🏻🤝
Please do a video explaining how to move the location of the Emulation folder through the Custome Directory trick you showed us in this video?
Not sure it warrants a video. Move the emulation folder to a new location, then change the EmuVirtual link to match that new location.
@@Darkuni
Okay, thank you. I really appreciate the response.
I guess I still have one more question...
How do you change the link?
I'm assuming left click and through properties...?
I was hoping you will also cover crazy controller templates EmuDeck put on the last update, but nothing about it… Don’t get them at all, maybe you could round 2 and speak about that? Thanks!
Can you give me an example? I hadn't noticed this change ...?
Downloading emulators is not a problem. The issue I am struggling with is the part where I have to find roms and bios and I absolutely don’t have a clue which ones are right and which ones are wrong so I am kinda stuck. I understand the legal implications of covering it but damn it’s sucks that there isn’t something readily available for beginners who don’t have knowledge about gaming 😢
I would recommend the EmuDeck "cheat sheet" (easy find in a google search) along with RetroArch's Wiki on bios files. These will tell you exactly what files are needed - and if there is a deviation location from "Emulation/bios" folder.
There is a particular "archive" site that claims to be about preservation but is really the biggest piracy site in the world. Anything "piracy" related to emulation will be found there.
I really don't understand the concept of Symlink, but is this something I'm going to want to do if I keep everything on internal storage with no plan on upgrading or using an SD card?
Thanks in advance :)
That's a bold statement to make :) We all start off making similar promises - then? Well, you know. If you're going to never ever EVER change where EmuDeck is going to be installed, and NEVER want to use multiple storage devices for EmuDeck support files? Choose internal. But this is a good exercise if nothing else - and future proofs you with really no downside - other than a few minutes of your time.
Sounds good. I have various devices for various things, and I'm getting a Steam Deck from my sister and I'm solely using it for portable emulation and am 100% positive the internal space is sufficient. I just dont fully understand what a Symlink does so i am not sure if there's a point to making one if I set up with internal storage. I'm not new to emulation but I'm a complete noob with both Steamdeck and Linux lol so excuse my noob questions 😅
@@Velocifaptor92 A symlink is a "fake folder" that links somewhere else. So you can create a symlink folder (let's call it EmuVirtual) that points to some folder on your current SD card (let's say it is named "Retro Roms". Now let's say you want to have another SD card for new consoles like PS3. That card will have a different name (Windows uses drive letters, Linux uses mount paths). So you put the new card in, with the right folders and everything but Emudeck is completely broken. This is because all the paths you set up (without a symlink) no longer are there ... what used to be run/media/desk/retroroms ... is now run/media/deck/ps3games ... nothing works.
With the symlink? You just point the symlink to the new card and BOOM ... everything continues to work as it should. EmuDeck expects you to forever and ever use the exact same path - but that doesn't always work out.
@@Darkuni That clears up so much. Thank you!!
So last question, and I hope to stop pestering you! What am I doing when I want to use a second SD card? Am I having to change anything about the symlink if the new SD card has a different mount path. Im completely new to the steam os, so im sure once i fiddle with itll start to click. I'm sure this is way more simple than I'm making it. Im setting it all up tomorrow, so I'm excited, yet a little cautious. Want it to be right the first time 😅
I recently updated Emudeck. For the emulator that starts with Y, whenever I try to run one of the games through emudeck, it doesn't run and gives an error saying, 'Error: couldn't find emulator 'Ryujinx'... But I don't have that Ryujinx installed and don't want to use it. Do you know how I could fix this? I have checked to see if I have all the files in the correct location for Y, as shown in your video.
If you're using steam rom manager? I can't really help you. Emulation station? I can help you out there.
@@Rubayeth123 ... and you used the settings change as I show in the video? It should be working ...
@@Darkuni which particular setting change are you talking about. I checked and did the part in 19:34 again
At 20:10 I clicked the file and Y ran normally. Emulation station doesnt seem to want to run Y or detect it.
@@Rubayeth123 Crap, I may have clipped that out by accident. You need to change the default emulator. MAIN MENU->OTHER SETTINGS->ALTERNATIVE EMULATORS ... I'm guessing you can figure it out from there.
You stopped right before talking about Emudecky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to install emudecky after the initial install
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 .
Not 100% sure the question here. Drop by our Discord and join #steam-deck and throw some more details in there.,..
Thank you for the tutorial! I can see the game in ES-DE but when I launch it, it'll just go back to the ES-DE main page again... What could it be? There aren't any ROM alternatives and I also have the according BIOS
You'll need to look at the esde log file and see what it says isn't working.
@@Darkuni where can I find that? 🥹

I made a sudo password a while back when I was trying to get powertools all setup for emudeck but unfortunately I forgot it. Is there a solution?
I have a reset video ...
Confused on setting mine up. My bios folder doesnt have folders for certain emulators. Do i just create folders for those?
No, the BIOS files all go in the ROOT of Emulation/bios ... there are a few RARE exceptions, but as a rule? Put all bios files in the ROOT, not in a system named folder. Most "bios packs" you obtain online aren't very clean. I wouldn't recommend using them - just take what you NEED from them. Unfortunately, mine is messy because I pulled the bios files from my Anbernic handheld boot card - not the way I should have done it.
I have a couple of questions. I am seeing multple artwork for the same game for Sega Saturn. I put my Sega Saturn game folder with the bin and cue files in it, into the roms folder. I opened up SRM, and saw the multiple artwork. I added only one to Steam. Is it ok to delete the multiple artworks? Also, how can I remove the games from Steam after injecting them?
The better thing to do is run the ISO Compression tool and it will take all those multi-file games and up them in a SINGLE file - which will actually solve everything. :)
I see. So in the case of Sega Saturn, I would compress the .bin and .cue files into 1 chd? Also, how do I remove things I have put into Steam?
@@nekonokoe22 Not really my forte. I'm not a fan of Steam ROM Manager. I use ESDE for all my emulation. Maybe post on Reddit? Surely there is SOME way to do it ... I don't know how, though.
@@Darkuni Alright. Thank you. I may go with ESDE my self if there is no adding or removing to your Steam library.
@@nekonokoe22 Easier to troubleshoot with failures to launch, too....
The screen is different at 9:38 now. I got ES-DE (Program) injected into steam, but it won't open. I tried re-injecting (repeating the steps at 9:27 and it did not work. Any insight?
Can you drop by the discord tomorrow? Someone else reported this and I would like to get to the bottom of it.
Hey, **zu isn't launching in Emulation Station when I launch games. Only Ryujinx. I followed the intructions and put the appimage in the app folder. Any help? Thanks!
Did you change the default emulator?

@@plagasx8105 Perfect!
My external sd card path just says “/run/media/deck/external” and doesn’t give a u inquest device #
The number is issued to any device that is mounted that doesn't have a name. Most people do not name their SD cards; so the system assigns it a unique, long winded ID.
If you put a different card in, it would have a different name (or a number).
Controls arn't work properly by default with duckstation, either they are digital and you cannot use sticks, or it's messed up and pressing B brings up the Duckstation menu.
I would use gaming mode....
I’m having an issue to where cemu emulator recognizes my games but steam Tom manager and emulation station do not. What’s going on here?
Does Emulation Station see your games?
I setup location as symlink per your recommendation. Is there a video on how to change to another card?
@@DaGai it's really just remaking the symlink. Super easy.
@@Darkuni Is it like updating the symlink I created previous or do I follow the steps again to create a new symlink? TY for a quick response btw tho!
@@DaGai So, you would prep the new card - copy your Emulation folder to the new card. Put the new card in. Delete the EmuVirtual folder, recreate it using the new card's path. That's it.
@@Darkuni Sounds easy enough. Can I keep the existing emulation folder if I plan on switching back and forth?
@@DaGai mmmmmm.... I THINK so. There are probably challenges in there somewhere. I guess I should do a video and touch on a split install...
Hello i downloaded emudeck but everytime i get to this bit at 1:56, a pop up says ‘oops😔 there was an error, please restart EmuDeck’ which i have done twice now but it keeps popping up, each time it takes forever for it to download again so it’s rather annoying, do you know anyway to resolve this issue? It won’t let me click on anything on this page 1:56 when I click close on the pop up either so I can’t do anything there sadly
I haven't seen this before. Where are you installing? Are you 100% sure you have free space?
@@Darkuni wow thank you for the speedy reply :D - my storage says I have 64 GB left and I installed it on to my desktop like in the video- I just looked at the Konsole page and it says (in red)

@@Darkuni there is a version over Ubuntu switch. Too much trouble idk.
Hey! I don't see you adding the firmware for Y*** That isn't necessary anymore?
Oh, I'm not handling Nintendo's encrypted IP on this channel. That's just asking for trouble. You still have to do the "support stuff" for these emus.
Great tutorial, but unfortunately ES isn't detecting any games despite the directories being setup, roms in place. I see it's a fairly common issue with it just not working for some people. Various random fixes work for some people, and for others nothing ever works.
Solution for myself was uninstalling/reinstalled Emulation Station. Oddly, works now.

Hello, why I don't have the file "emuvirtual" and the "old" file ?
Because you didn't set it up with my video :) I use tricks and tips to protect the install.
I am getting confised kn how to setup the symlink if i want to save it to the internal storage
The symlink should be pointed at HOME. Within HOME, the EMULATION folder and its subfolders will be created. When I refresh this video, I'll include a section for internal users as well. Drop into our Discord and we can better help you.
@@Darkuni thanks for the quick reply, and i will be joining the discord!
The file literally just says emudeck desktop and won't open or anything. It's a text file for some reason? I don't understand. I can't even ask someone else to do this it's so convoluted
Did you put it on the desktop? It won't run anywhere else. There is also the possibility you said "OPEN" instead of "EXECUTE" and that will open it in a text editor. You'll have to reset that behavior if you did.
When I first used steam rom manager I could just add individual games to steam without it trying to add every emulator to my library. These new emudeck updates are driving me nuts. I just want to add a game.
People ask why I don't like or use SRM (outside of getting Emulation Station installed) - this is why. The app isn't great. It breaks a lot and the experience seems to change from version to version. ALL my emulation is controlled via ES-DE - and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Please need help here emu deck won't install in new steamdeck it says error
Please join our discord and let's work it out there.
@17:20 how do we get the cover art for ES-DE? Not the games, but EmulationSataion itself? Mine used to be there, I did a fresh install, and now its black, just like yours.
Use Steam Rom Manager or Decky Loader's SteamGridDB plugin. You could set it yourself, if you like. I have videos on all of these.
So how do I convert iso files to proper PS3 files?
When you dump your PS3 games, you elect the format to save them in. Use JBFOLDERS instead of ISO. Should be fine. I do not know of a "converter" to do so.
NFS Most Wanted on the PCSX2 has insane input lag for me.. I allowed tearing, capped fps at 60, Vsync is off.. nothing works
Wouldn't that be better on PC? Or is that one of those "delisted" ones?
Damn this is already old looks totally different today. I updated this crap and now theres nothing in my collections folder thanks emudeck
For those in the same boat getting the " I don't do emulation" response....ok yth u buy a steamdeck that's what it's for...anyway Go ahead and uninstall and then reinstall emudeck.
Then after that, do the same with emulation station. Everything went back to normal for ME after that. Good luck.
@@georgecalderon6024 Gonna say .. last I looked, this video was still current. Glad you got it worked out.
This might be the dumbest question ever but...how do I bring up the menu when I'm in an emulator? I start up, say, my N64 emulator and accidentally figure out how to make the controller work and switch back and forth from gamepad to desktop mode but I can't for the life of me figure out how to bring up the menu so that I can quit out without turning the power on my steamdeck all the way off and back on again. I'm actually very new to the steamdeck. I got it like two weeks ago so that I could game at my girlfriend's house among other places and I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do anything on it other than gamemode.
Depends on the emulator in question. N64 and anything PS1 and earlier should be click in both analog sticks (R3 + L3)
Y*** won't detect any input from my controller - also it won't save control configs
Not sure how to direct you. Did you reset the emulator's config after re-enabling it?
why wont my emulation station open up? i click and nothing happens. same with emudeck store.
You injected it into Steam?
@@Darkuni im following along in your video and at that point it doesnt do anything. nothing pops up for me.
@@kevinkraftable Can you give me the timestamp of the video where you're experiencing issues?
@@Darkuni about 8:20 8:40 where I’m suppose to restart and I do but it never changes from that screen. Can’t get emulation station to do anything. No pop up. Nothing. And also now starting up Emudeck I keep getting an error message and it won’t go away. I have tried uninstalling emudeck and reinstalling but it’s still giving the same error message. Is there a way to wipe emudeck completely from my deck? Maybe I’m not wiping it completely. Let me find the error message exactly real quick too.
@@Darkuni Enoent: no such file or directory. Get this over and over again.
Switch not working. What about firmware files for yuzu...
I'm sorry. There is no way to discuss Switch firmware files that isn't blatant piracy. I can't really discuss that here.
Getting this annoying issue where Emulation Station doesnt Launch from the Steam Library...
Going to attempt.to reinstall everything but i need to manually delete everything EmuDeck installed to restart the process... being Tech Illiterate SUCKS. Heres hoping i dont delete anything crucial to running the Steam Deck.
Did you remove the injected item, and inject it fresh? SHOULD work.
@@Darkunirestarting everything from scratch seems to have fixed it. I think I accidentally clicked "launch games from steam" instead of "launch games from Emulation Station or Pegasus".

need help emudeck not installing in new steamdeck
Could use a few more details ...
Ok, after 12 hours of searching for Y***, I give up. Seems like Nincrapdo hired serious army to destroy every possible link.
Did you try the biggest pirate site on the internet? Starts with an A and ends in ORG?
@@Darkuni Yes, but most of them are for Windows and the linux ones have a filename extension .bundle instead of .AppImage. If I rename the file, i'm getting an error when I execute it. I'm new to Linux, so I really don't understand the mechanics of the OS and what's bundle and what's appimage.
@@Darkuni Ok, found it, after 50 different downloads :) Now trying to find Citra :) Thanks
@@Darkuni Ok, I managed to install it and it works manually, but emudeck is always starting ryu*. Can I change the default app somehow?
@@vladimirtalijan You can set it as the default emulator in ES-DE. Outside of that? I don't know.
Ugh... when you click on EmuDeck, it brings up a menu with the Bios Checker... when I click on EmeDeck it brings me back to the start of the installation... this is way too overcomplicated, i think im just going to give up.
That's strange. The file you download should disappear after EmuDeck installs.
steam manager not showing
Perhaps a refresh/reinstall?
Where do I get bios?
I’ve never had this problem before I’ve done it with the old emudeck but for some stupid reason, I have no bios after downloading emudeck.
OK so it was weird I have to hit like uninstall like I’m gonna uninstall emudeck and then cancel halfway and then it’ll send me to the bios and check all of them because I don’t know which ones to check and it gives me my bios
Nope after I did that I checked bios and they were all green I hit the exit button and it’s gone
So to fix it, I just deleted emudeck and just start over hopefully that’ll fix it still installing it so I’ll see.
Alas, BIOS are copyrighted content - you're going to have to find that on your own. :)
This is a beginner guide??? I’d hate to see the advanced guide.
Yep. The advance guide is gruesome. That's when we dig into XML and JSON files to do stuff :D
@@Darkuni haha git rekt op
It's annoying, I don't know. Why does the Scraper sometimes skip the Games.. Like how could he not find Mario Party Covers....
To my knowledge, those game graphics were removed due to legal actions taken by Nintendo. You'll have to find them somewhere and add them yourself.
plsssssssssssssss give pegasus tutorial video on streamdeck
I shall consider ... you're not the only one to ask
I'm curious what about Pegasus is attractive to you?
ES-DE won’t launch...
Try re-injecting it ...
Yep, I watched your other video, got it figured out, thanks king.@@Darkuni
you people that make these emu deck videos need to stop saying this shit is "easy" "very simple" because its actually not 70% of people watching this video don't have a clue what your talking about or what to do despite you explaining it telling people what to do there has to be a way you can simplify it even more this is by far the most frustrating thing I've ever tried to do tech wise im at the point where I. want to throw my steam deck out the window or pay someone to do it
The "hard" part of emulation is illegal. That's why none of us cover it. I've already been kicked for this... Others have too ... Emulation setup isn't hard. Piracy can be.
Feel free to drop by our discord. Many of us there can help you where we can't help here...
I was in the same boat as you. If you need help let me know
This video is not beginner friendly
@Mike-sp7zv phew, glad I'm not the only one. I took my lenovo go back bcus I couldn't get my emudeck to work. I tried for 10 days.
@@Darkuniwhat's the discord?
Videos like this make me completely lose any hope that I’ll ever be able to get emulators working on my steam deck… Beginners?
Emulation - per se - is not difficult. EmuDeck is so turn key, it is almost criminal. Chasing BIOS files and ROMS (both of which are illegal of course) is where people hit the wall quickly. Being illegal, nobody on YT or other platforms wants to talk about them for risk of punishment. There are Reddit groups that stick it to the system and talk about these illegalities - but they are transient as they end up getting spanked too, eventually. Emulation isn't for the faint of heart on Windows. On Linux? You MUST get your hands dirty. There just isn't any other way. :(
@@Darkuni finding the bios and roms wasn’t difficult at all, it’s where to put them and how to have the right format. What I’ve realised with the majority of these videos that claim they are for beginners, use all these terms that make a beginners head just start to fizzle like another language is being spoken. Definitely not creators fault, just pointing out that it might not be ‘beginner’ friendly, it’s for people who already have a decent understanding of computers.
@@Trigga123321 if you want to share some of the concepts and or terminology that you found out of band for this sort of video? I would love for more feedback. At some point I'll have to do this video again and any sort of improvements I can make would be great.
Do you know how to fix this? ruclips.net/video/W-5sqC3-BRk/видео.htmlsi=npEkkEkLPZKZuIW7
I updated emudeck. Everything was working fine before update.
The usual reason this happens is that there is an update pending; either on a proton version or the system has an update. I can't imagine EmuDeck having any bearing on this.
Lmao little demons
way above my pay grade.
trying to do this tutorial without a mouse on my steam deck is impossible , yikes .... just saying
There is a reason for the intro card lol
@@Darkuni I don't get it 🤔
@@miguelsuarez9876 The very first 5 seconds of the video I say mouse and keyboard highly recommended lol
