Hi!
I've been really busy preparing the 2.2 launch of EmuDeck for SteamOS, now it's finally ready and it will reach everybody soon.
I take this opportunity to also clarify what is going to happen to Yuzu & Citra.
Well, both of them are no longer available because of the deal Nintendo did with their developers to avoid going to trial so we can't install or support them anymore.
- If you already have EmuDeck installed don't worry, they won't stop working, and EmuD...
EDIT: The release is public now, the GitHub issue seems to have fixed by itself.
Hello everyone! Here comes some fixes for Android!
- Removed RA Cores download, this speeds up installation. We now indicate which cores are essential and steer the user to use the better RA own Core downloader .
- Switched to Pegasus Stable, this fixes Pegasus not installing
- AetherSX2 replaced with NetherSX2
- Added default themes: EpicNoir, ES-Simple,...
2024-02-26 15:57:26 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, as many of you have suffered, yesterday dropped the 3.0 update for ESDE, breaking several people installations, I tried to apply hot fixes as fast as I could but a lot of you were faster than me and you had your installations borked :(
On SteamOS the changes were only one directory that changed its name, but for Windows there were a lot more changes that completely broke EmuDeck.

Hiya, I've added these new emulators to Android:
- Dolphin
- Citra
- Yuzu
- AetherSX2
- PPSSPP
- ScummVM
And until I create a proper UI I've added some pop ups so you get a little bit of help during installation:
- Option to turn Bezels ON or OFF
- Small guidelines on how to set up RetroArch, AetherSX2, PPSSPP and Yuzu.
This is already live, you only need to open EmuDeck for Windows ( Linux is not ready yet ), click on Android and fo...

Hello! new release, new features, this is the RC for the next public release, so things should be working pretty good. Here comes the usual list of changes:
SteamOS
- New Emulators: Sega Model 2, Sega Model 3.
- Improved uninstaller
- Updated Dolphin controls to avoid the issue where they could be irresponsive after waking up from sleep.
- Some small bug fixes like the sudo window appearing on install.
Windows

Hi, some of you have reported Yuzu stopping working all of a sudden, this is because Microsoft did a windows update that's breaking some games, here's the link with the fix in case you are having this issue!

Hi, things seems to be good related to bugs, there's still some but they are more like edge cases and are less frequent so I've been able to start working on new stuff.
Ive' already shared the rom manager we are making and today I want to talk what's coming soon.
EmuDeck Android
After several tests and my head hitting the wall multiple times, EmuDeck Android has pivoted a little: it won't be a dedicated app, at least at launch.
This is because of the...
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share a quick video of how the launcher is going, the theme is temporary just as I test the functionality. Some remarks:
- The launcher reads all of your games on first launch, so first launch takes some seconds.
- You can see how fast the launcher opens once that first launch is complete for a collection of 70 games.
- The rom images / names are parsed automatically as you navigate your collections, this still needs more work as you can see some...
Update: I dun goofed and forgot to push some backend code :facepalm: , now it should work as intended.
Hi everyone!
New update coming through! I've moved the CloudSync Health script inside of the App, so if you are having problems, now you can go into Cloud Saves -> Test CloudSync Health and after a few minutes it will give you a report with what's working and what's not, this is for both SteamOS/Linux and Windows.
Some other fixes:
...
Windows:
- Fixed Yuzu EA installation.
- Splash screen removed.
- Fixed Pegasus launchers for Dolphin, PrimeHack, PCSX2 and PPSSPP.
SteamOS:
- Fix CemuNative AppImage File Name
- Dolphin: Use VI Skip to smooth out audio by default
- Vita3k: Dont include default fields in cfg, default to Vulkan renderer
- PPSSPP: RetroAchievements setup
- New Cloud services: Crave, Pocket Cast, Shadow Tech Cloud, Spotif...
2024-01-05 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm feeling better so I'm back to work :)
I just pushed an update for BootMode:
- Exe files are now signed so Antivirus shouldn't complain that much.
- Fixed the issue where you couldn't exit Game Mode.
To apply the fix just open EmuDeck, set BootMode to Desktop and then to Game Mode again :)
PS: Sometimes the splash screen with the EmuDeck logo won't go away when you go back to the Desktop from Steam Game Mode, just close it from the task bar until I figure out...
Hello everyone, I've been "forced" to take some time off for having the flu and then being Xmas and all that stuff that happens every year around this date :P
I've made the first concept for EmuDeck Rom Launcher, you can see it in the video above, this is not an animation, this is a real app using real games and real platforms to show what you see in the video. The hard part is what's coming next: on the fly automatic scraping, after that I'll do a early release for you guys, then fini...
Hello, tomorrow is the day EmuDeck Windows Edition will be released as a public beta, and that has being possible because all of you chose to support this project so thank you very much for that!
The public beta won't include:
- CloudSync
- BootMode
Those features are going to be patreon only for now, after some days to cool down I'll continue working on the next Patreon exclusives:
- CloudSync & BootMode, to make it as rock solid as possible...
2023-12-18 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostEdit: Fixed SRM not launching on Windows for new users!
Windows
- Added installation integrity check after install and on app start, checks if everything is properly installed, shows a message in case of error for each emulator that's not installed and tries to install them as it was supposed to be installed but didn't ( SRM specially since it seems to fail a lot )
- Fixed Pegasus Themes not being installed
SteamOS...
Hi!
Quick round of bugfixes:
PrimeHack:
- Now launches correctly
- Fixed wrong rom directory name and SRM Parser. Folder is primehack, not primehacks.
- Fixed unresponsive controls.
Reset configuration for SRM and Primehack to get this fixes. You'll need to parse the primehack games using SRM again.
Pegasus
- Fixed uninstaller
- Fixed Pegasus appearing twice in manage emulators
- Fixed icon on Manage Emula...
I forgot to announce this, yesterday I released a small update that should fix or mitigate getting stuck in the loading screen when "building backend"
Have you seen any improvements? Or are you still getting stuck?
Hello everybody!!!
We are near public release and since EmuDeck is going to be available in more than the SteamDeck a new UI was in order!
Now EmuDeck will have a more similar UI to the OS it's running on, Windows, Linux, Mac and ChimeraOS will have slightly different UIs, all supporting light and dark modes.
A new lateral sidebar replaces the old welcome screen, with so many icons it was starting to get a little confusing, now it should be easier to navigate. These ne...
hi, I've been getting a lot of the same 2 issues:
- EmuDeck stuck in the splash screen
- SteamRomManager not parsing or showing error messages.
- SteamRomManager takes forever to launch on Windows.
So I think it is best to just make a post about them so I can address this issues for everybody.
- EmuDeck stuck in the splash screen
This is where GitHub comes into account, I'm having issues myself with github lately, it just won't let me pu...
Hello!
New update!
Like I said in the previous post, I've been testing everything like there's no tomorrow. You can see everything checked and its results in the image above. There are still some minor issues but I didn't want to keep you all waiting more time.
Windows
- Better managing of the cloud.lock file in case the emulator crashes or the launcher is properly closed.
- Fixed installation on network drives
- No more admin pro...
Hello there!
Some of you might have noticed that Iām not expending as much time here or Discord answering questions.
its because Iām non stop working on the next release, all the missing emulators will come to the Windows Edition of EmuDeck so Iām testing everything in every system to make sure the release is as stable as possible.
I hope to have all testing complete by the end of this week!
PS: A MacOS demo is coming soon after that.

2023-11-15 16:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostEdit: New autofixes: .bat launchers & SRM not showing the proper parsers
I've added a new functionality, every time you open EmuDeck, it will run some diagnostics and will fix whatever it finds. Since this is a backend feature, there's no need to update, next time you open EmuDeck those diagnostics will run, you get a message if you had something that wasn't properly setup.
Right now this is what we are checking:

First of all I want to apologise to everyone, the releases of these past weeks had more bugs than features, I just wanted to make this patronage worth it by your money and time but by rushing things I've put quantity over quality, so from now on I'm back to a less rushed but steady development, giving me enough time to test everything multiple times before doing a release.
Most of the problems are related to the cloudSync changes, so if you still have issues please run the CloudSyncHeal...
2023-10-25 21:06:42 +0000 UTC View PostHi, I've created a script to check if CloudSync is properly set up for all of you that still have problems syncing games.
Just download the .bat file and execute it to see a report, it will tell you if something is wrong and some recommendations on how to fix it.
Windows users
If you can't open the .bat file just open cmd and run this command:
PowerShell -Command "& {Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('
Hi everyone, yesterday launch was installing an incomplete beta version, if you guys updated and have in the top right of EmuDeck a blue stripe with the text beta please download and run the attached files to get back to the Early Access branch.
I recommend doing a custom install when the new App opens to check everything is setup as you had before, I'm really really sorry for the inconvinience!
Windows & SteamOS / Linux
Hi, while I'm fixing all the bugs you've found on the last version, here's a little surprise, links to downloads of a work in progress of the new theme for SRM. I'd love to hear your feedback.
This build also fixes a bug in windows ( already sent the fix to the SRM devs )
Linux / SteamOS
Download and put the Appimage whenever you want, if you like the new design you can replace the old Steam Rom Manager Appimage with this one by renaming the new one to the sam...
Just as the title says, what feature do you think we should add?
Please make your suggestions on the comments section :)
Bios and roms excluded of course

Hello everyone, quick release fixing some bugs for Windows...
- Sometimes the selection of the Nintendo DS emulator was preventing EmuDeck to be properly installed.
- The Parser Selector wasn't working properly, and sometimes it just deleted the parsers or didn't added the ones selected by the user, and now when installing an Emulator it will check if there's already an alternative parser so the user can chose what to use.

Hi, yesterday's release had a couple of really bad bugs. this update solves them:
- Looking for updates loop on Windows.
- Fixed Steam ROM Manager not loading on Linux
- Added a Parser Manager in Manage Emulators -> Steam Rom Manager, so you can configure what systems you want to use for Steam. ( There's a bug on windows where it says that the configuration has failed, but it's a false positive... I'm working on it! )
Open EmuDeck to get this hot fix release, if it doesn...
Hi!
This update has several Quality Of Life improvements:
Windows & SteamOS:
- EmuDeck can now be installed at the same time in more than one device.
- Better login management, should help with all those "Issue with Patreon's API" messages.
- Added visible log on the "Checking for updates" page. Useful on those cases where it seems to get stuck.
- "Checking for updates" changed to "Updating EmuDeck backend files" for a better convey of...
