Steam Deck: How to set up EmuDeck
As the home that gaming constructed crumbles around it, new beams are being installed. EmuDeck is a prime example of software designed to facilitate the emulation of classic games on the Steam Deck.
The Steam Deck’s ability to run games of any difficulty makes it a fantastic choice for vintage gaming fans. While other software has been spotted in official Valve trailers, it can play up to PS3 games with ease.
Because of its superior emulation capabilities, the Steam Deck has replaced all other options if we need to simulate the behavior of two displays. It’s great that a touch screen is an option in these kinds of situations.

The same method was used to familiarize ourselves with Gungrave before reviewing Gungrave G.O.R.E, the sequel, as no fully functional remakes of the original game are currently available online.
Because many emulation efforts exist to guarantee preservation, the legality of emulation is a tricky subject that we want would clear up. They are the unsung heroes that keep the gaming business afloat in a time when games are growing older and tougher to support on newer operating systems.
Tutorial on Setting up EmuDeck
Compared to when it initially came out, EmuDeck installation is a breeze. Since there is no need to utilize a terminal and there is a graphical user interface, the installation process just takes a little time.
Visit the site or click the icon to get EmuDeck.
If this is your first time using it, it will ask you to select a location on your computer to put everything. Make sure you’ve formatted your SD card as ext4 in SteamOS’s Game Mode if you intend to use it. It’s easiest to perform this from within Desktop Mode using the KDE Partition Manager instructions provided in our external storage tutorial.
As soon as you make a selection, it will immediately begin retrieving and setting up whatever it can. This covers the non-working Vita emulator as well as PS3, PS2, and other platform emulators.
Once it’s done, you’ll have access to a plethora of games, movies, and other things on your Steam Deck. It takes some extra effort to set them up such that you can access them using SteamOS game mode.
We recommend starting Steam Rom Manager immediately. As a result, your game collection will be included into Steam. You may skip this step and just remove the shortcuts from your Steam library if you don’t want your emulators and games to show up on SteamOS. They are hidden away in the Non-Steam Apps area of SteamOS and won’t show up on the opening screen in game mode until you launch them.
What’s Steam ROM Manager?
If you want to use Steam Deck’s gaming mode, you’ll need to click here to connect your library with it. As you load new games, you’ll want to check back here to see what’s new.
It may seem complicated, but all you really need to know is where to put the games. Once you’ve set its target, you should continue to save your progress to that area.
Tutorial on Using Steam’s ROM Manager
If EmuDeck isn’t already open, load it up. And then, on the update screen, click the link that says “Tools & Stuff” and close it. When you select Steam ROM Manager from the list, a green and black interface will appear. If asked if you want to close Steam, the answer is “yes,” as doing so will simplify things.
If you haven’t already gotten an external setup with a USB-C hub or Dock, you’ll have to start using the trackpads and triggers to operate the mouse.
Scroll down to the desired emulator using the right trigger and trackpad. As an example, we’ll employ the PS1 emulator DuckStation.
Selecting a default setting from the community will auto-populate details like Steam Categories, folders, and more. We need to tell ROM Manager where our game files and emulator are stored.

As soon as the file browser opened, we navigated to:
You can see the whole path to the PSX ROMs here: Home > Deck > Emulation > roms > PSX.
/home/deck/Emulation/roms/psx
If you’ve elected to store your emulators and other software elsewhere, you’ll need to head to that location. The default settings in EmuDeck are being utilized.
We used this route to get ROM Manager to open the correct emulator:
Home > Deck > Emulation > Tools > Launchers > duckstation.sh
Which resulted in this structure:
home/deck/emulation/tools/launchers/duckstation.sh
Once more, direct it to the directory where you set EmuDeck’s emulator installation options.
Some emulators won’t boot without the corresponding BIOS file, and you’ll have to tell each emulator separately where to find it.
Next, select “Preview,” “Generate App List,” and “Save App List” at the top of the screen if you wish to add it to Steam. Delete the app list if you don’t want it.
