EmuDeck 2.1.19 QOL improvements released
🕑 Added 2023-10-10 20:05:07 +0000 UTCHi!
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 what the app is doing.
- New UI for modal messages
- New emulator selection script where you can select the SteamRomManager parsers in case you have more than one emulator for the same system
- CloudSync compares the hashes of each save folder to enable faster downloads.
- CloudSync on EmulationStation won't take forever, it will do the same hash comparison to speed up downloads and will upload your saved games as soon as you create the saves/states so changing between different games / systems is a lot faster.
SteamOS:
- Added option to download / upload all saved files when setting up CloudSync
Windows:
- Saves and states moved to Emulation/saves/ instead of using shortcuts so they are easier to backup both manually and using cloudSync
- UAC prompt on cloudSync install so we can enable a background service to upload your saves while you play.
- UAC prompt on first install of EmuDeck or a new emulator so we can create symlinks for all the saves folder.
How to set up the new cloudSync?
Windows & Steam OS
- Backup your saved games before upgrading, just in case.
- Reset SRM config on Manage Emulators.
- Uninstall + Install CloudSync.
- Reparse all your SRM entries.
- That's it, enjoy!
SteamOS only: When you are back in gaming mode make sure the EmuDecky plugin is showing up after installing it from Tools & Stuff, you'll need it for CloudSync since it will show you notifications on gaming mode everytime a game has finished being uploaded.
For the next 2.1.20 release, you can expect Xemu + Xenia for Windows, and some improvements selecting different frontends.
Just open EmuDeck to get it updated to 2.1.19.
How Can I know if the update went well?
If you did all the previous steps it should work just fine, but just in case:
Windows
- You'll see a black CloudSync notification on the bottom right every time you open a game.
- And after playing the game you'll get a voice confirmation that the games were uploaded so you can shut off the device if you want. ( this is windows fault, still looking for a solution to show a visual notification.
- Check your cloud provider, see if the game you just played got its saved games uploaded.
If you don't have those 2 bullet points working, repeat the steps again.
SteamOS / Linux
- You'll see a black CloudSync notification on the bottom right every time you open a game, and when you finish playing you'll get a notification telling you when all uploads have been completed.
- Check your cloud provider, see if the game you just played got its saved games uploaded.
If you don't have those 2 bullet points working, repeat the steps again.
If you have issues please use our Discord channels, don't write here your issues.

Getting a "corrupted installation" error. It downloads, and installs emudeck again, boots up, and "corrupted instation" error again. I'm in an infinite loop: https://i.ibb.co/3Bwj1Bx/Screenshot-2023-10-25-063221.png

It seems you are using the main build, not the early. Make sure you are using the correct AppImage ;)
How do I enable Cloud Sync on Steam Deck? I did a fresh install and I still only see the old 'Cloud Backup' where it says 'at the moment, it is only a one way backup. Stay tuned for additional features!'. On Windows I was able to enable it without issues.
Mine stuck n backend
How you get it to work
