Good stuff Russ. Just learned how to add Steam / PC games to Emulation Station as well, so this can potentially replace SteamOS altogether. Pretty exciting to tweak it more.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you ever so much. I needed a video like this to change my themes. I hope somebody can make the Netflix like theme (I seen it on Retro Pie) to work as a EmulationStation theme. Thank you again RGC :)
Hey Russ, thought about doing a quick video about Decky? It allows custom boot videos, a Bluetooth menu, ProtonDB icon, and more with just a simple plug-in.
Nice short and sweet video! I think I'll stick to the default I already use because it shows box art, a logo, and a screenshot, but it is nice to have options. I opted not to do videos because although they look great, they can take up gigs and gigs of space.
2 nice themes. They come standard in the latest RetroDeck which I prefer for its simple setup, ease of use and self contained install through the built in Discover repository.
Thanks for both this and the EmuDeck video! Question - for cd based systems, how do you set up Emulation Station to ignore specific filetypes? That is, if I have a m3u, bin, and cue files, how do I have Emulation Station only pick up the m3u files?
You have a couple options. Personally what I do is rename my .bin and .cue files to something that won't be picked up by EmulationStation. Something like .bun and .cd files for bin and cue, respectively, and then just edit the .cue and .m3u files with a text editor to match those new file extensions. The games will boot no matter what their extension says. EmuDeck also has some other methods here: github.com/dragoonDorise/EmuDeck/wiki/EmulationStation-DE#how-to-manage-multiple-discs
Hi! Does emulation station ( windows version) allow to bring up a menu with the xbox home button ( such as in bigbox) which allows to choose between closing the game, getting back to it or load a save?
I know you might not get around to reading but I got something I’m trying to fix, if I use emudeck to load a game in steamOS it seems to load a different version of PCSX2 (even though I though I installed 1 copy) than the one in EmulationStation. (Meaning my saves aren’t there or different saves. How can I make both links load in one version of pcsx2? Thanks
Any idea why some of my videos are gone from Emulationstation? I had the COMPLETE list of videos, screenshots, box/cover art and all that shit, for SNES, then after I install scrapes for NES, those preview videos for SNES seem gone. WTH happened? Do I actually need redo that? It too ALL NIGHT. Im using it on the Steam Deck, BTW.
After scraping my game list shows box art, rating, screenshot then a video clip...... How do you revert back to say just box art... or turn off the video gameplay clip?
Great video. Make a video on how to make the library and the names all right and organized. is there an easier way to do this or just editing one at a time?
it would be nice to make a setup video for desktop pc, I'd love to have Emulation Station on my desktop as I don't own a Steam Deck! love your channel ross!
@PerroVerde I might recommend checking out his videos on Launchbox, that's what I'm currently using on my desktop to sort and manage my emulation library and I've found it to be a really robust and easy to use system, once I got the hang of it!
Is there a trusted source to send our Steam Decks to have someone set all this up? I don't have the time and would love to have my deck set up like this.
Is there a theme that displays a trophy icon if the game is compatible with retro achievements? Or does that need to be a feature with Emustation that doesn’t currently exist on the Steam Deck?
Not for EmulationStation Desktop Edition, unfortunately. This runs an older display mode, which is more akin to the RetroPie themes. The more robust themes like you see in EmuELEC or Batocera aren't compatible with this version of EmulationStation.
Help!!! How are you using MelonDS??? You list it as you preferred Nintendo DS but Emulation Station cannot pass a ROM to load successfully and in Steam Game Mode the SteamOS is incompatible with the emulator's menu dialogue boxes.
I still don't like how emulationstation doesn't create collections for CPS1, 2 and 3. Big misstep imo. I don't like having to open RA to play those games when I wish I could choose them from a list like the rest of the emulators.
Try creating a cps folder in your EmulationStation folder and add your games, according to their user guide it should recognize it. gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md
I believe there's a emudeck compressor that compresses the track 1 and track 2 files Click on the update sundeck and look under tools and u will see the button called emudeck compressor and then a little pop-up window will show the game system u want to compress
I must say that I absolutely love your videos and you have introduced me into the whole new world of emulation
My man is at it again, thanks for all the great content Broseph!
Inject this content into my veins.
instructions unclear injected into your eyeballs instead.
Why
@@casualcrisp because I recently got my steam deck and I want to use it to it's fully capabilities
@@tanmaypanadi1414 NEVER
save some for me o.o
Great video, I was curious about this. I set mine to the comic book one, fits the style I want my retro stuff to look like. Love it.
Thanks for this video! I use Emulation Station DE on my MacBook Pro and can use these themes.

Good stuff, man. Goooood stuff!
Finally someone made a video on Emudeck Themes! Thanks a lot👌🏾
Now all we need is a video on Symlinks for Emudeck🔥🔥
great as usual
Your a genius thank u
Thx for the great video:))
Will you make a tutorial on how to dual boot windows and steamOS for the steam deck? Thanks
Can you do a video on how to install other launchers like GOG and Epic for the steam deck please?!
I was literally just trying to figure out the best way to do this last week and I got too lazy to research it any further
2 nice themes. They come standard in the latest RetroDeck which I prefer for its simple setup, ease of use and self contained install through the built in Discover repository.
Just finishing building a 128gb batocera drive for my mini pc. This is next on my list...

Skies of Arcadia will be my first game I get.

Ok I have fixed it, ran a different version of pcsx2 on emu station to match the one running from the standalone games in the steamOS
I like the Modern Theme, resembles the Switch menu. Can the icons for the systems be changed?

will you make a guide for the emulation of gamecube , wii , ps2 on the steam deck ?
tdp, gpu and stuff?
Hay does EmulationStation use the PCSX QT Emulator? I’m interested in using RetroAchievements but only the more recent builds of PCSX2 supports it.
Is there a trusted source to send our Steam Decks to have someone set all this up? I don't have the time and would love to have my deck set up like this.
Hi, Does this themes work on the ally too?
Thanks for the video. I have a question, it's possible to put music in the main menu of emulation station??
Is it possible to add msu1 games to emulation station?
Is there a theme that displays a trophy icon if the game is compatible with retro achievements? Or does that need to be a feature with Emustation that doesn’t currently exist on the Steam Deck?
Sadly that's not related to themes but the version of EmulationStation.
Is there any theme that looks like coinops or hyerspin , that has the spinning wheel menu?
Not for EmulationStation Desktop Edition, unfortunately. This runs an older display mode, which is more akin to the RetroPie themes. The more robust themes like you see in EmuELEC or Batocera aren't compatible with this version of EmulationStation.

Rpcs3 and Duckstation don’t show up in emulationstation for me… I tried editing the xml file in custom systems but it’s like nothing changes…
Duck station should work as for RPCS3 it has a frustrating workaround to get it to show up
Nice video. To bad emulation station doesn't work for me. Half the emulator don't show up as well as my roms don't show up.
There is no aspect ratio to amend in my theme.xml
Hello, do 2.0 themes work as well ? Is there a difference?
Theirs probably a reason he recommends the legacy ones.
@@Dracossaint that's why I'm asking, what is the reason? Not optimized? Not compatible?
Neat!

@@RetroGameCorps can you do one on how to probably SymLink Roms from an external Harddrive to Emudeck
How do i hide all the tracks files for psx?
I believe there's a emudeck compressor that compresses the track 1 and track 2 files
