EmuDeck WE - Latest round of fixes
Added 2023-06-16 20:28:39 +0000 UTCHello everybody! A small batch of fixes.
Switch / Ryujinx
Fixed an issue that prevented to have both Ryujinx and Yuzu entries on Steam
PS3 / RPCS3
Fixed SRM parser for PS3 games not launching
To apply both fixes go to Manage Emulators and update all pending updates, open Steam Rom Manager and parse those systems again.
PS: If you want to run PS3 games using Emulation Station make sure you rename the game folder by adding .ps3 at the end. For example, /roms/ps3/Killzone 3/ should be renamed to /roms/ps3/Killzone 3.ps3/ , then go to Main Menu, Other Settings, Alternative Emulators and chose RPCS3 Directory:

Sadly this is just the way EmulationStation works with PS3 games, we are working on a way to automate this so you dont have to set this up manually.
See you on our next update next week!

Please how can I uninstall emudeck?
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:26:54 +0000 UTCYeah made sure it was on it's giving me an error/k start /min "emu" c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" /k (the same path) && exit make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:25:56 +0000 UTCHold on please I removed everything from steam. Got to add everything again.
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:20:47 +0000 UTCCan you check that you have Steam input enabled on the Steam entry? Wether is the game, Citra or ESDE?
EmuDeck
2023-07-03 19:19:05 +0000 UTCThank you. Restarting the ally to get out of citra again😓
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:11:38 +0000 UTCNop, that’s how EmuDeck works. Keep in mind this an Early access version so bugs will happen, I’ll try my best to fix them as soon as I can
EmuDeck
2023-07-03 19:10:38 +0000 UTCSérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:07:25 +0000 UTCYes, games work, and dolphin and cemu the hotkeys work fine
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 19:00:36 +0000 UTCDid you remove the games and parsed them again?
EmuDeck
2023-07-03 18:58:20 +0000 UTCSays windows cannot find k start?
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 18:57:53 +0000 UTCNo nothing works, and I can't seem to be able to run the emulators through steam either they don't open. 🥲
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 18:56:28 +0000 UTCSelect + start don’t work?
EmuDeck
2023-07-03 18:54:35 +0000 UTCMy citra now locks me out on ROG ally can't go back can't open anything have to force restart to get out of a game... Hot keys don't work... Idk what I'm doing wrong, it worked before the update
Sérgio Silva
2023-07-03 18:51:45 +0000 UTCRight now extracted isos. PKG will come in a later moment
EmuDeck
2023-07-03 14:56:10 +0000 UTCWhat file extension for the RPCS3 are inside this folder then? ISO or PKG and RAP?
Daniel Drese
2023-07-02 23:38:26 +0000 UTCDo you see the downloading/uploading dialogs when launching games on both devices?
EmuDeck
2023-07-02 09:34:03 +0000 UTCYes my Main PC and my ROG Ally
Stinvil93
2023-07-02 09:22:47 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I didn't follow. What should I reinstall?
Luís Morais
2023-07-02 01:41:58 +0000 UTCReinstall selecting the drive where the SD card is, all the emulators will be on C, and the roms on the SD Card
EmuDeck
2023-07-02 01:39:04 +0000 UTCNope, my plan was to have emudeck on the ssd and the game library on the SD. However, when I tried parsing it didn't find the games, just the emulators.
Luís Morais
2023-07-02 01:31:46 +0000 UTCdid you chose to install emudeck on the SD Card?
EmuDeck
2023-07-02 00:48:03 +0000 UTCHi everyone, I just started to use emudeck on the Ally and I'm having trouble with detecting my roms. I have them on a Sd card, with emudeck installed on root. Is this the problem? Thanks
Luís Morais
2023-07-01 17:34:28 +0000 UTCAre you trying to sync 2 windows devices?
EmuDeck
2023-06-30 09:50:38 +0000 UTCCloud saves via Google drive don’t seem to work. The button to sync on the cloud sync page does nothing. I log into my account I get the message about how it will upload when I save. On my PC I have my new save and on my Ally I have the old save. Is their something I am missing?
Stinvil93
2023-06-30 09:48:02 +0000 UTCNo. When I launch the emulators through steam and try to change the keybinds, it is acting as if I have desktop mode enabled on the Ally controls even though it's forced to gamepad mode. Like if I try to change a keybind to B it makes it backspace. Steam is showing that the controller is using the normal Xbox controller layout.
Red Pilgrim
2023-06-29 09:49:13 +0000 UTCdo you have anything like handheld companion installed?
EmuDeck
2023-06-29 06:16:30 +0000 UTCWhen I have steam input enabled, no hotkeys work for any emulators I use, which are all of the Nintendo ones. I tried doing a reset config for each but nothing changed. When I disable it, it starts working.
Red Pilgrim
2023-06-29 00:58:39 +0000 UTCOn here or on disc. Not seeing a way to send videos
Devin Rios
2023-06-28 21:14:27 +0000 UTCSend it to me in a DM
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 18:59:47 +0000 UTCThere’s no Xbox emu yet, what you saw is just an icon. But it will come soon
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 18:59:11 +0000 UTCNop, we need to use launchers so we can enable cloud sync, but on the next release they won’t be as noticiable as they are now
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 18:58:48 +0000 UTCIs there a way to turn of CMD console when the game/emulator is starting?
Tomasz
2023-06-28 18:46:55 +0000 UTCThis is what I'm thinking. Perhaps there is a setting off somewhere. Makes no sense. Where should I send the video? :)
Devin Rios
2023-06-28 18:30:16 +0000 UTCWhy don't I see Xbox emulator to install but Retro Game Corps has it in his guide for EmuDeck Windows?
Dubsmachine
2023-06-28 18:09:54 +0000 UTCFor ESDE, so ESDE should have Steam Input too
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 15:48:04 +0000 UTCHmm. I will try enabling it again to see what happens when I get home tonight. If I am playing all my games through ES, do the steam settings for ES apply or the individual emulator?
Red Pilgrim
2023-06-28 15:47:23 +0000 UTCIt’s supposed to be a plug and play installation. There’s probably something wrong with your system. Send me a video showing how you do all the steps and I’ll try to find what’s missing
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 13:24:51 +0000 UTCYuzu, Citra, Ryujinx and Dolphin need Steam input to work
EmuDeck
2023-06-28 13:23:20 +0000 UTCI had to actually force steam input off in emulation station to get it to work on my Ally. Now it works for every system except 3DS
Red Pilgrim
2023-06-28 01:58:05 +0000 UTCI'll stick to just using the emulators separately for now. Seems Emudeck is just broken on my Ally at the moment.
Devin Rios
2023-06-27 18:10:27 +0000 UTCDid all of that! Quick reset, gamepad mode on opened steam. Ran the game. Nada. No controls work not sure if I'm just incompetent.
Devin Rios
2023-06-27 18:08:50 +0000 UTCDon’t adjust settings, that could just broke the setup. Follow this steps in this order: Make sure you have game pad mode, not auto. Then open EmuDeck, do a quick reset, open Steam, run any rom from Steam and report back
EmuDeck
2023-06-27 17:43:39 +0000 UTCStill can't get a single control to work on the ROG Ally running through steam. I've tried everything, adjusting configs, resetting steam settings, gamepad mode. Nothing works.
Devin Rios
2023-06-26 23:24:59 +0000 UTCI renamed the folder and also changed the directory from ES main settings
Domenico Carpentiero
2023-06-25 18:09:42 +0000 UTCThe game works using RPCSX3 but only if I open it from tools/launchers/rpcs3 - if i try to launch it from ES it tells me that error
Domenico Carpentiero
2023-06-25 18:09:12 +0000 UTCDid you change the emulator to RPCSX3 Directory? And did you install the firmware on the emulator?
EmuDeck
2023-06-25 18:05:50 +0000 UTCI made all the changes for ES but when i try to boot the game from ES an error appear ["roms/ps3/InFamous.ps3" nothing to boot]. How can I solve?
Domenico Carpentiero
2023-06-25 17:41:12 +0000 UTCAwesome 😎
KaoS
2023-06-25 13:05:51 +0000 UTCAn updater is in the pipeline. First we'll smash all the bugs we have, and then we'll resume adding more features
EmuDeck
2023-06-25 13:04:11 +0000 UTCThanks 👍 Any help that a future update can provide would be great! Only EmulationStation has issues updating. All other Emulators seems to be fine.
KaoS
2023-06-25 13:02:58 +0000 UTCIt might be a bug on our end, let me add it to the bug list. In the meantime if you want you cans download manually and copy the files in your USERFOLDER/EmuDeck/EmulationStation-DE
EmuDeck
2023-06-25 12:38:48 +0000 UTCThanks. Been trying that for months. I just tried it again with no luck. When I check the EmulationStation launcher in the Emulation\tools\EmulationStation-DE folder, the date modified says "3/11/2023" which was the original date of the first install. I just can't seem to ever update EmulationStation. Any other ideas?
KaoS
2023-06-25 12:31:00 +0000 UTCUpdate from Manage Emulators, pick reinstall/update
EmuDeck
2023-06-25 12:16:47 +0000 UTCThey are not available at the moment , ext emulator we add will be Xenia
EmuDeck
2023-06-25 12:16:28 +0000 UTCIs there a way to properly update EmulationStation to the latest version through Emudeck? Everytime I try, and then launch EmulationStation, I get a popup saying...."New Release Available! 2.01 [2023-04-23] Can now be downloaded from https://es-de.org/" I'm on Ayaneo 2 btw. How can I update this through Emudeck?
KaoS
2023-06-25 12:12:25 +0000 UTCwhy wont the Xbox and Xbox360 emulators work on the Asus Ally work? they dont show up when setting up and thus wont install.
David
2023-06-25 06:59:56 +0000 UTCNot yet. Soon
EmuDeck
2023-06-24 09:39:01 +0000 UTCis PSVita not in here? Along with Xenia ?
Perry Kappetein
2023-06-23 23:02:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the response. Opened power shell in the folder and ran each command one by one. Both times it said that the package was already installed and that no upgrade was found. When trying to install after through emudeck the same issue occured
KillaUKG
2023-06-23 19:18:50 +0000 UTCthe same thing happened to me on our AOKZOE test machine, never happened before on any other device. open powershell and run this commands: winget install -e --id Git.Git --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
EmuDeck
2023-06-23 17:12:03 +0000 UTCHaving a really strange issue, whenever I go through the process of installing, the installer starts, prompts me to install 7 zip, which is already installed, at which point the command line closes and just displays that neither 7 zip or steam are installed and I cannot continue the installation process
KillaUKG
2023-06-23 15:24:42 +0000 UTCI went into Yuzu directly and dropped the keys into the needed folders instead of going through Emudeck. Then I just launched Yuzu through the Armory crate game library. This was the only work around I found that worked for me.

EmuDeck
2023-06-22 08:34:00 +0000 UTCHow do I download for rog ally ????
C
2023-06-22 08:33:27 +0000 UTCSeems like an issue on a new Yuzu release, we are gonna have to wait for them to fix it and release a new one
EmuDeck
2023-06-21 16:59:58 +0000 UTCHi we don't have an official guide for Windows but you can follow this guide for SteamOS, works almost the same as on Windows
EmuDeck
2023-06-21 16:50:16 +0000 UTCWe are focusing on fixing bugs right now before adding new features that will probably add more bugs. So we are doing a bit of a quality review
EmuDeck
2023-06-21 16:47:51 +0000 UTCI am having issues and I can't seem to find my answer, should I go to discord and try there? I am still getting the "Encryption keys are missing" but I have just dumped and dropped all of the new ones with the newest firmware as well. The games launch but I hate to have to minimize to click "ok" and move on. Thanks for y'alls help!
Gibram Alvarez
2023-06-21 16:06:28 +0000 UTCDo we know when Xenia is coming? Really looking forward to testing the original Crackdown on my Ally
Connor Burt
2023-06-21 14:16:36 +0000 UTCI installed it on thePc, and I get a Emudeck Steam Rom manager icon. I dont get this on the ROG Ally. 2nd. How do I start any program? i dont see it in the Steam manager, like the Emustation 2.0 ? only the gaming consoles.
Perry Kappetein
2023-06-21 13:52:32 +0000 UTCunknown at the moment, we need to get fixed other stuff before trying to add this functionality. Technically if you go steam and create a desktop shorcut and then add that shortcut to armoury create...that should work but haven't tested it yet
EmuDeck
2023-06-21 07:07:07 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, the dimming occurs when I launch a game or emulation station. It seems the dimming only affects the desktop, not the game itself, and restarting the monitor fixes it. It's annoying, but I can tolerate it, I suppose.
Matthew Eckert
2023-06-21 05:21:00 +0000 UTCHow do I fully uninstall Emudeck and remove all directories, folders, files it creates? I installed for the ROG Ally and I am having this weird issue during the initial setup where you select a drive and then it keeps bringing me back to the beginning where I select Custom setup and would to start from fresh install again.
Michael
2023-06-21 03:22:05 +0000 UTC"Armoury crate links won't work." Will this get fixed, or will it never work?
Perry Kappetein
2023-06-21 00:51:39 +0000 UTCYup! That makes sense. Does this affect other emulators? I mainly use dolphin and cemu
Frank
2023-06-20 00:39:59 +0000 UTChi, thanks for the emudeck im now a patron now Im trying to use the new “sync emudeck” on my steam deck to next sync my saves to my rog ally. Its not working in the SD because after I choose dropbox or google drive it shows a notfication of copy one file, i click the file and its a loggin screen from dropbox or google drive.. but after click on loggin it does not work… what im doing wrong?? thanks !!
Jaime Capponi Zerene
2023-06-20 00:21:01 +0000 UTCHi Frank, I think I already answered this on Discord, we have CPU accuracy enabled to improve compatibility at the expense of some performance
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 20:37:09 +0000 UTCIt also seems that the power profiles don't work great with it either. Not sure if it's because I had already installed yuzu before? Maybe that's affecting it? I haven't checked with any other emulators to see if that's only an issue with yuzu
Frank
2023-06-19 16:49:43 +0000 UTCJust keep trying, it works after 2-3 times. Same thing happened to me
Frank
2023-06-19 16:45:37 +0000 UTCI am getting a weird issue. I previously had yuzu installed on my ally. Then I downloaded the emudeck for windows and it installed it again (I chose my micro SD as the main folder). The emulators themselves get installed on the C drive it seems. Whenever I open the yuzu emulator that was installed with emudeck I seem to loose about 5-10 fps compared to the one I had previously installed. Is this a common issue?
Frank
2023-06-19 16:26:15 +0000 UTCI appears as D, when i get home tonight ill lmtlmell you the error that occurs. Says something like drive cant be found.
Jonathon Richardson
2023-06-19 15:46:27 +0000 UTCThe SD card appears as a regular drive, maybe it’s D:, please check windows file explorer to see the name of the drive that windows assigned to the SD card
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 15:44:06 +0000 UTCAnyone help me with sd formtting? Emudeck cant find my sd card?
Jonathon Richardson
2023-06-19 15:35:11 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, no, because I can’g get into EmuDeck (stuck on “checking for updates”) and then it mentioned that there was something wrong with my patreon account and had to contact you.
Bob Ijpelaar
2023-06-19 09:37:08 +0000 UTCcan you try resetting Yuzu's config from manage emulators?
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 09:35:22 +0000 UTCthat error tell you that the game is somehow corrupted. You might need to rip it again
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 09:34:23 +0000 UTCon a future release, we are focusing right now on bug fixing
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 09:32:25 +0000 UTCthere's not. all the emus should have hotkeys to exit full screen, will that work?
EmuDeck
2023-06-19 09:30:32 +0000 UTCIs there any way to keep emulators from opening in full-screen mode? Every time I run an emulator, my monitor's brightness lowers, and I have to turn my monitor off and on to fix it.
Matthew Eckert
2023-06-19 03:16:45 +0000 UTCWhen i try to run yuzu games via steam big picture (added with SRM) yuzu just opens and i get this error: Error while loading ROM! (007-0034) The NSP file is missing a Program-type NCA. Since yuzu opened, i can open the game and it plays normally. But its weird that i get this error and the game doesnt open itself like with other emulators
Babi
2023-06-18 21:45:35 +0000 UTCI'm not seeing a Vita emulator (Vita3K) on Steam ROM manager. Can/Will this be added?
Darwin Muniz
2023-06-18 16:24:33 +0000 UTCfurthermore, I have problems controller input on Yuzu. Not a single button works. I launched jt through steam and emulation station while on gamepad but still no controls.
Bob Ijpelaar
2023-06-18 14:51:58 +0000 UTCI have an issue on my Ally since today. When I startup it gets “stuck” on checking for updates. The bar just keeps going.
Bob Ijpelaar
2023-06-18 14:51:17 +0000 UTCThanks, will take a look into it!

Andrew L
2023-06-18 02:21:13 +0000 UTCwhat format is the PS2? check the ps2 rom folder, there's a txt file where you can see all the compatible formats
EmuDeck
2023-06-18 01:59:19 +0000 UTCHi guys- cannot for the life of me figure out this issue I’m having with EmuDeck and Emulation Station. My games are imported into ES and showing up, but it can’t find the PS2 rom that I installed through Emudeck. Any suggestions?
Andrew L
2023-06-18 01:46:26 +0000 UTCSorry I forgot to add the part about changing the default emulator for PS3! Post updated with the complete info
EmuDeck
2023-06-18 01:09:30 +0000 UTCHI, we are overhauling our Steam Input profiles to fix this kind of issues, we should release them tomorrow after more testing :)
EmuDeck
2023-06-18 01:01:24 +0000 UTCYes I am
Tony DiLeone
2023-06-18 01:01:12 +0000 UTCare you using the Ally connected to a TV using Bluetooth controllers?
EmuDeck
2023-06-18 01:00:36 +0000 UTCYuzu working fine with steam input. Ryujinx isn't for me. Have to keep switching between internal ally controller and Bluetooth controller in Ryu settings.

2023-06-17 16:35:00 +0000 UTCSorry for the late response. So if Im Playing raging blast 2. To ascend In the air is to long press the L bumper. If I long press it it registers as if I just tapped it for a jump animation.

EmuDeck
2023-06-17 14:03:42 +0000 UTCdid you rename them with .ps3 at the end?
EmuDeck
2023-06-17 14:02:00 +0000 UTCfalse positive! :)
EmuDeck
2023-06-17 14:01:17 +0000 UTCAre you doing a long press?
EmuDeck
2023-06-17 11:48:39 +0000 UTCHey the L bumper and R bumper won't work on the ally on the games. When loading games on estation. Any comments.
Christopher copeland
2023-06-17 11:48:13 +0000 UTChow do I get it to work? How do I create these shortcuts
Tri Luu
2023-06-17 06:15:01 +0000 UTCSo the RPCS3/EmulationStation fix now makes them actually appear in ES, but they won’t run, since it tries to run the entire folder and not the individual files. As it stands, shortcuts are still the only way to make them both appear and run from ES.
Erik Peterson
2023-06-17 05:30:02 +0000 UTCYou can update the software, but without a response from someone why it's showing up as a virus with Windows Defender, I don't think I'm going to update it. I would really like to know, before I allow Windows Defender to do the update, why it's popping up as a virus. Basing on my understanding after reading about what type of virus it's stating the virus protection is blocking, I don't trust doing the update till there is an answer. You can allow the update if you're using Windows defender by just opening windows defender and stating the file is safe. Can someone provide an answer for this please?
Bob
2023-06-17 03:59:15 +0000 UTCsame thing is happening to me, what's going on?

Sbh44
2023-06-17 02:17:58 +0000 UTCOh wait is that why they won't run when i extract them (PS3 games?) They're JB files. So confusing!
MarcoMeatball
2023-06-17 01:00:20 +0000 UTCWhen I attempted to install the newest version of Emudeck, Windows Defender is saying there is a virus. I don't know if this is a false positive. The trojan it's detecting is Wacatac.B!ml. Is this normal?

Tri Luu
2023-06-16 22:31:55 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! I can now see my ps3 games on emulationstation but when I try to run them they don’t boot which is strange as they do when I launch them from rpcs3 so not sure why they don’t on ES :/
