SKIP TO BOTTOM FOR LESS FLUFF!

Hello! I'm not too tech savvy and have to rely on tutorials for basically everything deck related. I've come across a small issue when using azahar via emudeck. the following is just fluff you can read for the full story, but I'll have sections below plainly listing my issue and also listing what I would ideally like as a final solution. Thanks for your time!!

Okay, I use emudeck to play mainly ps2, Gamecube and wiiu games I never played because I didn't have those platforms growing up. It's been AMAZING, I love how easy the program makes it to set up the emus and games, they just show up on my deck library as playable games like my normal steam library!!

HOWEVER. I recently wanted to replay MH4U, a 3ds game, I loved it on my original hardware, but it runs at 60fps on deck and I wanted to play through the whole game again. Apparently Citra is dead now, but emudeck has Azahar as an option for a 3ds emu. I added it, and put MH4U in the 3ds spot, but my problem is neither azahar nor MH4U show up on my deck library in game mode like the other platforms and games do.

I have to enter ES-DE and set up azahar, then launch it, and then open MH4U through the emu since if I launch MH4U through ES-DE, it doesn't save the settings, or even save progress, it's like a fresh game each time. I'm okay with doing these steps, but wanted to see if I could streamline it like how the other emus show up as playable games on my deck! Thank you in advance, feel free to ask for info if I left out anything!! Below are the less fluff, more detail oriented sections as promised.

/------------------------

CURRENT ISSUE: Azahar + installed games do not appear on steam deck library in game mode when installed via emudeck steam rom manager.

DESIRED OUTCOME: To have the rom (MH4U) show up and playable through its own game entry on deck in game mode.

Thanks again and happy Friday! (:

I have been having a bizarre issue. The issue is that only my Xbox 360 emulator is working. While my other Emulators have stopped. I don't know why they aren't working anyone. Can anyone help me figure out how to make the other Emulators work again?

Apologies if this is a simple fix. Running Yuzu 1230 on my Steam Deck, and trying to set everything up via EmuDeck. Keys, firmware all installed. Titles run GREAT...if I launch Yuzu directly from the Application Launcher in Desktop mode.
If I try to launch title from Steam client in Gaming Mode or Desktop mode, I get ''The ROM format is unsupported," and just displays Yuzu. Same if I launch Yuzu from Steam client. Other emulators work great, and I DID have the Steam ROM Manager remove and re-add all of my titles from Steam.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

I am having trouble getting Eden set up through Emudeck for Windows. I have followed the instructions on placing the eden files through APP DATA/Roaming/EmuDeck/Emulators/eden-windows-msvc/folder

After doing this it still only says controls and doesn't come up with reset configuration.

I haven't changed any of the file names. Is anyone able to help with this?

How do I fix this?

I’d like to play Pokémon games on EmuDeck.
Could you recommend which games are the best ones to start with?
I’ll definitely be playing Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Please help! What step am I missing?

I installed ProdKeys v22.5.0

I installed Super Smash Bros Ultimate Update 13.0.4 (v1966080).NSP

I installed all the DLC.

Then I go into game mode and none of the DLC shows up.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

or will i have to stay sub'd for future updates?

TIA. there's no android flair, so i picked closest, linux

Does anybody know if there is a way Dolphin can detect if my Legion Go S is docked and I connect a Bluetooth controller (8bitdo) to use the Bluetooth controller and not the legion go embedded controls? Seems like many other emulators do this already. I want it to work in the following way:

Legion Go S Docked: Uses any/all connected Bluetooth controllers

Legion Go S Undocked: Used Legion Go S embedded controls + any connected Bluetooth controllers.

I could’ve sworn it used to work like this but now it does not. Right now, it seems to only accept one or the other. I’m using SDL/0/Lenovo Legion Go S Controller.

Side note - How do you set Dolphin to use a certain controller configuration every time you open it? I created a new profile, but it resets to the blank profile every time I close Dolphin. I set up the [Controls] PadProfile 1 = Profile setup in the individual game level, but wondering if it can be setup globally on the emulator.

Hello, this is my first time emulating and I am trying to play OOT and Majoras Mask on my Rog Xbox Ally. I am able to get to the start screen inside both games but cannot go further because my inputs don’t do anything. I scoured google and have tried turning on Steam input but that just makes the issue worse because then my inputs are unresponsive inside of ESDS as well. Yes I am on Gamepad control mode. If you know the answer or know where I can find it please let me know

Pixel Cherry Ninja recently released a detailed hands-on review of our FightBox R10 Dual FlightStick! 🕹️😊

The video features classic arcade games like Smash TV, Arkanoid, Robotron, Total Carnage, and Forgotten Worlds.

He tested the controller across multiple platforms, including Steam Deck with EmuDeck, PC, MiSTer FPGA, Nintendo Switch, and Retroid Pocket 5.

It's especially interesting to see how the dual joysticks and built-in spinner work with these classic arcade games! 😄

For those using EmuDeck, have you tried playing twin-stick arcade games with an external arcade controller?

Hello, I‘m fairly new to emulation and am having an issue with some of my games not appearing in Steam ROM Manager when I refresh the games. I have no idea what is causing this, and my internet searching has proved fruitless (I did originally have Super Metroid as a .7z, which I heard can cause the problem, but even after switching to a .sfm it doesn’t appear). I tried refreshing, I tried restarting my Steam Deck, I tried selecting all parsers, I tried selecting only the relevant parsers, and I tried selecting only one parser at a time, but no dice. Any ideas from people way more technically proficient than I am?

All of the games run just fine through Emulation Station, but I’d really rather have them in my catalog.

Super Metroid (SNES) (.sfm) (does not appear)

The Town With No Name (Amiga CD32) (.chd) (does not appear)

Warpath: Jurassic Park (PSX) (.chd) (appears)

Pepsiman (PSX) (.chd) (appears)

(No one shall ever comprehend my video game tastes)

Update: I added a whole lot more, and the problem persists. It seems to be console based. N64, GameCube, and PSX games appear just fine, but any other console I try (NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, PS2) does not. Once again, the games run just fine. And yes, they are all in the correct folders.

Update (Solution): While I was poking around with the built-in parsers on SRM, I actually discovered the issue. There was a broken executable directory for the RetroArch emulator. Should’ve been pretty obvious, but once I fixed it, it worked just fine.

I use Linux mint cinnamon and ryujinx installed via emudeck. most of the time I use my xbox controller, but I wanted to play a few games with gyro so I found my old PS4 controller wired. for the record the controller still works, as I tried using it on steam and its fine.

Whenever I go to Options > Settings > Input and select my wired PS4 controller (it automatically selects my profile which is nice so I dont have to do any button mapping) and save and apply everything, Ryujinx immediately wipes the configuration and resets player 1 back to keyboard, which i can see when i go back to the input tab. Its not a problem with steam input as ive tested this with and without steam running, and my xbox controller has never done anything like this before. anybody know what the problem could be?

As you can see, my mario in super mario galaxy is always walking right and I tried everything I know of but can't seem to fix it :(

I tried:

- remapping everything in desktop mode with every possible selectable input device

- fiddling with the game specific controller options in big picture mode

Im at my wits end and don't know what other information I could give you guys.

Have a nice day :)

There are certain games for which I would like to toggle RetroAchievements off when playing through Steam (or make them invisible and mute), particularly those I want to be immersed in (Silent Hill, for example).

Is it possible to toggle them off and back on again? Or would I need to disconnect or log out of RetroAchievements in the EmuDeck app?

Ideally, I would be able to earn the achievements whilst they’re toggled off (or invisible/mute), so I don’t have to play the game twice (once for immersion, again for achievements), if that makes sense. Might that be possible?

I’m not sure EmuDecky is working correctly on my Steam Machine.

When I run the games through the Steam Library, this is what happens:

GBA: no autosave; no shaders; no RetroAchievements
Genesis: working autosave; no shaders; working RetroAchievements
PS1: no autosave (doesn’t seem to be working, anyway); no shaders; working RetroAchievements

When I run the games through ES-DE, this is what happens:

GBA: working autosave; no shaders; working RetroAchievements
Genesis: working autosave; no shaders; working RetroAchievements
PS1: autosave is a clickable option when I exit (possibly because I used the compressor tool on the game); no shaders; working RetroAchievements

Is this a common issue? If so, does anyone know how I can fix it?

I asked a similar question a few days ago, but I was trying to figure out a lot of emulation stuff at once, so I’d only tested the GBA game at that point. I apologise for that. (I’ve deleted that post to avoid confusion with this one, and to give myself this chance to reword it.)

I’m assuming GBA games aren’t compatible with shaders, as GBA wasn’t named in the configuration part of the installation. But I’m not sure why the autosave and RetroAchievements aren’t working.

Also, the GBA game is in mGBA Standalone. Is EmuDecky only compatible with RetroArch cores?

If not, might reinstalling and reconfiguring mGBA fix the Steam issue?

I’m not using a standalone Genesis emulator; I’m using DuckStation. So I’m not sure whether reinstalling those will do anything.

Earlier this week, I had an issue with Xenia not showing up in Steam ROM Manager. Today, reinstalling and reconfiguring it fixed the issue (thanks again). That’s why I’m wondering whether doing something similar here will fix the EmuDecky problems. I’m unsure though, and I don’t want to cause any errors by guessing.

I would really appreciate any advice that can be given. (I’ve asked quite a few questions this week. I apologise if it’s becoming annoying.)

...it's right there? I have a ton of Steam games saved to my external HDD, so what's the problem?

Does EmuDeck just expect that everyone will use an SD card? What's the deal?

I bought a second-hand Ally Z1E and it came with this microSD card; is that one good or would you recommend I get another one? I don't mind about the storage.

Thanks!

Nested Desktop allows users to directly access their desktop through Game Mode rather than having to close out of it (Nested Desktop is already built in. It just has to be added as a non-steam game and be accessed through Game Mode). One thing I wonder about, though, is if it's safe to utilize EmuDeck through Nested Desktop, particularly when it comes to parsing games onto Steam. When parsing, Steam shuts down before booting back up. I'm unsure how this would play out when utilizing a desktop through Steam.

What's your insight?

Hey guys, in my last thread I mentioned I got a second-hand Asus ROG Ally Z1E, but I am having some performance problems, especially with emulation in PCSX2; I tried changing settings and updating drivers with different performance profiles, and nothing changed. Games like NFSU 2, Jak 3, or Guitar Hero 3 have constant slow motion, and I do not understand where the problem is coming from.

If anybody has faced this before, please share what you did or any other advice would be fantastic!

Thanks!
