I’ve been searching since I got my steam deck, does anyone have a good guide on how to get the older Tony hawk games to run on steam deck? I’ve tried Lutris & PCSX2. I’ve got THUG2 & THAW running on PCSX2 but can’t get the controller working, circle brings up a menu for PCSX2 and Y pauses the emulation.
I may be missing something very simple but I’m new to this, any help is appreciated!🫰🏽
Have extracted the zip file and copied to the above file. Ran EmuDeck and it allocated images for the game. Made sure to save and confirm before exiting.
Went back into Steam Deck Game mode and it shows within my games but this pops up when I try to play.
Any ideas where I went wrong or what I can do please?
Thank you.
Installed Vita3k and my Vita Rom. Vita3k crashes when I try to save in-game. I bring up the save game menu with slots, select one of them and then tap to confirm I want to save… then it hangs for a bit and crashes out.
Any suggestions?
When trying to extract a pkg file it says this and it started doing this suddenly
I’ve recently installed Citra and Cemu through EmuDeck, and went through the process of setting up SteamDeckGyroDSU (in EmuDeck itself). The installation process was successful, and I’ve restarted the Deck several times to be sure, but still no luck with getting it to work. Is there anything I’m missing here?
I got it for Xbox360 and downloaded an old version of Xemu witch Is the only version that could play any of my games. The first level of the game had a glitch where it stretches a quarter of the screen witch isn't good but playable. But In the real levels, all the light models show up as if you're In the same room, no layering at all with the walls. Alongside the screen being super blurry. Can somebody help?
Looking to play online. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks.
Hello does anyone know of a video walkthrough on step by step downloading ROMS through the steam deck, itself. I don’t have access to a pc but I figured it could be done with desktop mode.
I have EMUDECK installed and set up already. I’ve never done this before and was hoping I could locate a step by step guide on where to put files and where to get them etc.
Sorry if this is a silly question.
Hi you'll! Yesterday I installed WinDeck to try it due it was impossible for me to install a game...so I decided to install it. It's everything perfect except for the controller in Yuzu. The games are working perfectly but I cannot use controls from the console.
Maybe I try EmuDeck for Windows, but not sure if it's going to work.
Any help? Thank you!
I'm looking into emulating SKYLANDERS and from the videos that I've seen people have been formatting their Portal's of Power (a USB connected toy that scans skylander figures) with the app Zadig, witch as far as I know is a windows only program.
Heres the video I saw: https://youtu.be/IF7ZhzRrQ-k
But I also saw somebody format their Steam Deck the same way, but not telling specifically what app he used to format the portal. Heres that video: https://youtu.be/RjbnTacAq3c
Can someone help me?
My friend recently helped me rip the rom from Twilight princess for the GameCube, tested out on PC it was working fine, but as soon as we moved it to the steam deck, all the sudden the graphics started acting up. we can't figure out what's wrong, has anyone else tried emulating it on the steam deck and have some more problem to this like in the photo?
I have been trying for awhile but I can’t figure out how to get mods for a better running tears of the kingdom to work if anyone could help that would be amazing I’m emulated it using ryujunx
I’m trying to play Warhawk (ps3) from a .pkg file. The game boots in desktop mode but runs poorly so I’m trying to run it in Gaming mode but I get an error saying “invalid file or folder” and that the booting failed.
I tried other files of the game, like .rafs and ISOs but they can’t play it online like I can with the .pkg file. Any ideas?
no matter what i do it doesn’t detect input. steam virtual control or evdex doesn’t work. it doesn’t work on desktop or game mode. even when i go and try to configure it in RPCS3 it doesn’t accept input. it will only accept keyboard input. does anyone know how to fix?
I'm not new to emulation, but I am new to it on the deck.
Ive been trying to figure out why PCSX2 doesn't seem to recognize one of my isos in the iso folder. It's in the folder, unzipped, in the correct format, my bios is installed (and works great for my other iso), but when I pull up the PS2 folder after searching for file it doesn't come up.
The iso works fine when being run from PCSX2 on my windows computer, so why is it giving me trouble here?
Anybody still play this. Wouldn't mind an online game sometime. I believe you can still play quick match.
Ok so I want to play wind waker hd wii u version on my steamdeck I installed cemu using emudeck, I downloaded a rom from the internet i unzipped it, I tried installing it using cemu but I have no idea which file it is there are a lot and I have no idea very new at this please help
I installed all emu's I wanted through emudeck, however when I put my games in the ps3 emu folder they dont show up, also when I have the rpcs3 emulation open and try to drag the files over they wont go in and says theres a boot problem etc. what files do I need for rpcs3? I think most files I have were iso? If I need different files which ones do I need and where would I find a decent source for them? For instance I want to get Asura's Wrath but for some reason its been hard to find the base game and I find more dlc or episodes etc.
I can get disk 2 to so up but can't get disc 1 and 3. It's not a big deal. I just wanted to have them in my library. Is there a fix?
On the PS3, I get garbled sound it runs slow. Ok the Xbox it loads, but when I start a game, I can hear sound but the picture is frozen.
Any ideas?
Per topic. PSP? PS1? Some other homebrew way? Not afraid of decomps. :)
Its going to be hard to complete my national Dex and I wanted to play Pokemon black and transfer some mons from there to home. Is there any way to do thi s? Is there a way to get 3ds mon into home as well? I would add a post flair but I have no clue on how to do it with reddits newer interface.
Just got my steam deck and dumped around 53 3ds games on and was really excited to play! The ones ive tried ran well until i got to extra epic yarn, disabled some settings and it runs perfectly fine now, then i tried planet robobot and for the life of me i can't get it to run smooth. Any suggestions for this game, and what games are worth avoiding due to the poor performance?
Thanks!
Having an issue with the game. Switched to open gl for the graphics glitches but now it gets bleached out. Anyone else experience this and/or have a possible resolution? Thanks
Is there a way to track non steam games play time?
