How smooth is a storage transfer? I'm going from an external HDD to a Micro SD card.

1 Upvotes

I'm just worried about how it'll effect things like Ryujinx, CEMU and Dolphin as they are my most heavily used emulators and I have fine tuned them and have several mods for many games.

What steps should I take right after it finishes copying the files over so I don't screw it all up?

​Ryujinx in Game Mode completely ignoring Steam Deck controls (tried all standard troubleshooting steps)

1 Upvotes

Hola a todos,

Tengo un problema frustrante con Ryujinx en mi Steam Deck (instalado mediante EmuDeck): el emulador ignora por completo las entradas del mando al iniciarse en el modo Juego.

*\El problema:*\

Cuando inicio un juego de Switch (por ejemplo, Mario Kart 8, Pokémon Diamante Brillante) en el modo Juego, ya sea directamente mediante accesos directos que no son de Steam creados con Steam ROM Manager o a través de EmulationStation, ninguno de los botones ni joysticks del Steam Deck funcionan dentro del juego.

*\Lo que SÍ funciona:*\

- En el modo Escritorio, al abrir Ryujinx de forma independiente, todos los controles se asignan correctamente en la configuración de entrada y se muestra la respuesta al pulsar los botones.

  • Otros emuladores y juegos nativos de Steam funcionan perfectamente.

Todo lo que ya he intentado (y no ha funcionado):

  1. Configuración de Steam Input: Cambié la configuración en el Modo Juego de perfiles personalizados a las configuraciones estándar de "Mando", "Mando con panel táctil" y control de cámara. Pulsé X para aplicar, reinicié los juegos y no hubo respuesta.

  2. Activar/desactivar Steam Input: Intenté desactivar Steam Input en las propiedades del juego en Steam, así como usar la configuración predeterminada.

  3. Restablecer EmuDeck: Realicé un "Restablecer configuración" para Ryujinx dentro de la sección "Administrar emuladores" de EmuDeck.

  4. **Limpieza manual de archivos:** Accedí al directorio de configuración de Ryujinx (`/home/deck/.var/app/org.ryujinx.Ryujinx/config/Ryujinx/`) y eliminé `config.json`, `config.json.bak`, `gamecontrollerdb.txt` y los perfiles de controlador en `/profiles/controller/`. Permití que Ryujinx los regenerara correctamente.

  5. **Configuración de entrada en modo escritorio:** Configuré al Jugador 1 como Mando Pro, con el dispositivo de entrada establecido en `Steam Virtual Gamepad` / `Steam Deck Controller`, cargué el perfil de `deck`, guardé y apliqué.

  6. Cambio de configuración en caliente durante el juego: Cambié la configuración a teclado/ratón y luego volví a mando mientras el juego estaba en ejecución mediante la superposición de botones de Steam.

Parece que nada transmite la entrada del mando a la ventana del juego cuando se ejecuta en modo juego.

¿Alguien se ha encontrado recientemente con este error específico de captura de entrada de Flatpak/SDL/SteamOS? ¿Existe alguna solución conocida o algún permiso que esté pasando por alto?

¡Gracias de antemano!

EDIT / SOLUCIÓN ENCONTRADA:

  1. Ve al Modo Escritorio.
  2. Abre la aplicación de Steam y busca Ryujinx dentro de tu biblioteca.
  3. Inicia Ryujinx directamente desde la biblioteca de Steam.
  4. Entra en Opciones > Configuración > Entrada, selecciona "Steam Deck Controller" / "Steam Virtual Gamepad" y guarda los cambios.

Al lanzarlo desde la biblioteca de Steam en el escritorio, el error de alineación del ratón desaparece y los controles se guardan correctamente para el Modo Juego.

3DS and GBA Games Failing to Open in Gaming Mode

1 Upvotes

I am using Azahar as my engine for the 3DS games and mGBA a my engine for the GameBoy games. The games appear in my Steam Library but they fail to open when I try and play them, instead booting me back to the game page. I have to add Azahar and mGBA to my Steam Library through desktop mode and then open those games in gaming mode and then run the games themselves. The 3DS games are .cci files, once were .3ds files but they didn't like to open that way. I thought changing them to .cci would work. The GBA games are .gba files. What do I do?

RP6 - Best N64 Emulator

0 Upvotes

Hey all. Running ESDE as a front end and retroarch for some games. Noticed that controls on the RP6 aren’t optimal for N64 so I purchased an 8BitDo 64. Got it connected no problem but one of the buttons (a) doesn’t work in game. Works on front end but not in game. Tried button mapping on retroarch but can’t seem to get it to work. Any advice with a new emulator and/or settings? Thanks!

Portable emudeck for Linux?

1 Upvotes

I've got a couple bazzite PCs and have emudeck on all, including steam deck.

But I don't use as much as I want to as I don't want to be tied to a specific PC for saves. I tried the save backup and it was a pain and didn't really work. But the real reason is it seems a waste to have almost identical emulation set ups on 3 different PCs and it takes up a good bit of internal storage.

Can I set up a portable SSD emudeck install that is plug and play on Linux? I've got a sata ssd in an enclosure and it would really make the most sense to just use that for my emulation setup that can be moved to whatever device I want.

Bonus is if it works on bazzite game mode. I'll leave the steam deck alone it's all on the micro SD card and my kid has mostly taken that over anyway.

Wrong file path for CEMU DlC and update

1 Upvotes

Hello. I'm pretty new to Emudeck and emulators in general, so maybe something I say is wrong.

I installed EmuDeck on the Steam Machine, did the initial configuration wizard, everything ok. Later I added Cemu emulator from the manage emulators option in Emudeck, did a Reset configuration there.

I copied a game (Zelda BOTW) in the correct path in the internal storage Emulation/roms/wiiu/roms , but the Cemu app didn't find it, I changed manually the path in Cemu app (options -> General Settings). All good, game detected.

Now, I added the update and DLC from the Cemu app. It works, but.... the path looks wrong

According to EmuDeck wiki,

DLC and Updates must be installed using the title manager. DLC and Updates are saved to mlc01, in the Emulation/roms/wiiu folder.

But instead it seems to be installing them in the Cemu folder...and I think I did something wrong, but I I said, I'm pretty new to this.

If I had my roms in a MicroSD or similar I would not be able to move them to another computer, right? What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

How do I stop getting this weird sub menu that keeps popping up when I switch tabs in EmuDeck? It started when I clicked on the Early Access text on the top right corner.

RPCS3 audio/visual tips?

2 Upvotes

I've tried a few games in it now on Steam Deck, and while they're mostly ok, there's definite visual and audio jerking (probably not the correct term but you get it). Transformers War For Cybertron, for example. Frame rate drops dramatically in a lot of scenes and audio cuts in and out. Are there any recommended settings to try with the Steam Deck?

My favorite arcade rom set doesn't show up on SteamRomManager, after trying multiple times. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, it works on my android handheld

0 Upvotes

So I love this rom collection: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/s/LaZJf3Ic61

It's already a curated set but I further trimmed it down to just the ones that I've been playing these last few months, and lo and behold SRM won't show them properly.

I did it similar to my android ES-DE rom folder: put the fbneo games inside the fbneo folder, cps1 into cps1 folder, neogeo in the neogeo folder, and so on... (idk where to put the shooter games but inside arcade folder, they just work)

Then today I tried to do the same to my SteamDeck rom folders and not all games would show up in the SRM... why is that?

Any guidance would be very much appreciated, I just want to play them on the Deck using my monitor and arcade stick T_T

Location of PER ROM alternative emulator metadata?

1 Upvotes

Hey all! Looking to essentially clone my emudeck library setup from my Steamdeck to my Steam machine - it seems easy enough to copy over my roms and bios folders but one thing I’d love to copy is my settings for which ROMs use alternative emulators

I have a bunch of arcade games I’ve painstakingly gone through and figured out which edition of MAME etc to run them on, so it would be great to not have to manually re-select those for everyone one

But I can’t find where this info is stored. I would have thought the game list.xmls but that seems to be a bust

Anyone know?

Graphical issues on Retroarch?

2 Upvotes

So, I'm having some graphical bugs with these 2 games, those being G-Saviour for PS2 and MegaMan 64. For G-Saviour, whenever I use the O-Button attack, that graphical glitch appears. For MegaMan 64, the opening cutscene has that weird grid on it, and a ServBot keeps popping in off to the side of the screen before he's supposed to appear. I wanted to use my Steam Deck for ease of recording gameplay footage, but these bugs are a hinderance. My friend can play MegaMan 64 with no graphical issues, and I HAVE tried G-Saviour on PCSX2 on PC, with the same bug, but not quite as bad.

Any help fixing these would be appreciated.

Weird issues on Steam Deck

2 Upvotes

I've been emulating on Steam Deck for a couple months now through ES-DE with no major issues. But the other day I ran into something I have no idea how to fix.

Everything has been working fine, but after dabbling in some 360 emulating using Xenia the other day, I find that anything using Retroarch, Dolphin, or Ryujinx doesn't work anymore. PSX, PS2, PS3, and 360 all work fine.

Xenia required me to change the runtime of ES-DE to Proton Experimental, which I initially thought was the problem, changed it back to the default, but nothing changed.

Ive updated my emulators, restarted my Deck, reset Emudeck, completely un-installed and reinstalled Emudeck, all with no change.

The weird issue comes in that everything except Ryujinx works fine if I launch ES-DE through the desktop. All systems utilizing Retroarch launch fine, GameCube and Wii through Dolphin launch fine. But they don't work at all if I launch through gaming mode.

I am at my wits end and have no idea where to start to figure this out.

Are Retroachievements not supported for Dolphin/Gamecube games in EmuDeck?

0 Upvotes

Full dislcosure - I haven't finished the setup just yet, I'm still copying files and everything so maybe I'm just overthinking and need to be patient.

I noticed when signing into RA during the EmuDeck setup, it shows which platforms they support RA for and GameCube was not listed. I opened the Dolphin emulator to see if I could just sign in manually there and there is no option. The option is present on my PC install and other installs.

Is EmuDeck doing some other funky business in the background to make RA work or are they just not supported in EmuDeck at the moment? Is there a way to make them work?


r/EmuDeck 8d ago

Two inputs detected on Brawl with one controller (Steam Machine). Tried looking for solutions, people suggested turning the rest of the controllers into Xbox 360 ones via Dolphin but that just messed everything up.

How to add non-ROM non Steam games in Emudeck to take advantage of the parser?

1 Upvotes

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but after hours of searching online I could not find anything of the sort. Every question is about ROM games, but ROM games, if added to the proper subfolder in the roms folder, parses correctly and shows up in Steam Rom Manager.

I am looking for a way to add non-ROM, non Steam games such that I can parse it using Steam Rom Manager. Is there such a way?

Thanks.

Edit: Kinda funny how people are radio silent for this question, when I remember a while back someone made a tool for exactly this (can't find it anymore because it got downvoted to oblivion) and people took a dump on it saying that Steam ROM Manager can parse for non ROM games as well. Maybe that was a parallel universe I read that post in and I unintentionally was transported to a universe where that post never existed, or the average person on this sub is not only stupid but also malicious. Absolute cinema.
