I’ve tried all ways to get out of game mode but the above doesn’t work. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi we all appreciate what you do here even I’m grate for the effort you have put tin to making emudeck work just as great on windows but there’s this is that keeps bugging me for some reason when I add new roms in the correct folders and go to rom manager to add them to steam not all of my roms show up in the rom manager and it’s not emulator specific it’s at random when you find time I would be grateful for you to look into this

scott hodgson

Aylan

Julio Andrade

Not working this, it's keep appearing the stuck mesage on botton

Hossam

Please I need help I do all the steps and everything is going well except one thing when I want to add the game to steam it’s says user configuration was/were skipped invalid

Hmmm I un-quarantined that file, the “start_game_mode.exe” maybe I should mark it again..? As you said it’s not needed. Is that something that should even be included amongst the actual files?

After updating to the EA version and using steam rom manager to re add Emulation Station to steam I keep getting stuck on a black screen saying EMU Deck and a pop up in the bottom right about cloud sync. Any idea how I can get past this?

On my Legion Go I was getting a black screen after reboot even after allowing everything in the AV software including just excluding the entire folder when the individual files did nothing. Out of curiosity I tried a ctrl-shift-esc into task manager and to see if the start_game_mode.exe would work if I did run new task direct from the gamemode folder, and it worked fine. So I did a restart and now it works automatically every time with no issues. So if anyone else is getting that black screen, its worth a try to see if it gets it going for you.

EmuDeck

we are currently not using that exact file, as long as the enable.exe, disable.exe and login.exe are not flagged you are good to go. What antivirus are you using?

EmuDeck

open emudeck and close it, it will fix it

EmuDeck

send me a DM!

Well I managed to get it to install this time doing nothing different to last time lol, but now I’ve tried to change boot mode to steam ui and upon restart steam doesn’t even start so I’m left with a black screen and have to change it back to desktop mode, I’ve tried this twice now and having no luck with it, I’ve made exceptions for everything with windows defender as well

Callum Jones

Thanks guys but I tried this with no luck, I’m gonna give it one more try when I get home and will update, I’ve only had this issue since re installing and that’s happened both on my ally and my pc which it never did before

Jeremy Austin

I actually saw that today and the cmd line output made me think the windows store window needed to be closed after it was up to date. I closed that window and the installation continued successfully. Hope that helps callum.

Julio Andrade

Using rog ally. When i close an emulator, than open It again, it's appear:cloudsync watching in background. Then it keep stuck at this

Glenn Hevey

Thanks for the info good to know . Ok well I’m still having issues when setting the steam boot mode. Steam isn’t starting (just get a black screen) and if I do start it and close steam I just go to black screen again

Hi, ever since I joined the patreon and switched over to the early access version, I keep getting “Heur.AdvMLB” and “start_game_mode.exe” keeps getting removed. Didn’t happen with the normal (non early access) release. I saw your post about pushing an update fixing exe files from being flagged by antivirus, so I updated and tried again. Still getting the same virus warning and file quarantined messages. It seems like most things are working but I’m paranoid I either actually have a virus or things didn’t install correctly and I’ll run into issues. Is there something I should be doing differently with the install to keep things from being flagged?

EmuDeck

Grey screen? not even black? send me a DM please

EmuDeck

send me a DM please

EmuDeck

just put your games in the Emulation/roms/genesis folder

EmuDeck

It happens automatically in the background as a part of the auto diagnostic tool

EmuDeck

then just continue, we can't detect If it's up to date so we just show the message everytime

EmuDeck

it happens in the background, you won't notice any change, so that's normal :) it's part of the autodiagnostic tool

Fran Martínez

I've been looking at the Task Manager, and I can't find anything specific to audio drivers. Could it be maybe Realtek HD Audio Universal Service or an application that is repeated several times called Reasonlabs Application?

James Dean Booth

You don't need to install a Genesis emulator. Emudec will do all of that for you.

Michael Meadors

And how does an Emudeck n00b get a proper Genesis emulator to work with it. I am curious to know the commands to do it. I was thinking to install those emulators manually but I'm not sure and I haven't tried anything yet.

Michael Meadors

I am surprised that nobody recommended to install a new start menu app because that issue these guys show with it happens not only on the Legion Go but also other computers. The start menu kept crashing on mine so I replaced it and now, not a problem.

Guilherme Mendes

I still can't exit Game Mode after exiting Steam with this update

Brandon

Open Emudeck and even restarted but no update found. Is there a way to force the update?

Callum Jones

Also Microsoft store doesn’t give me an option to update app installer, ran all updates on store and it was not there

Callum Jones

Seems I was stuck on the old update, uninstalled rebooted and tried to reinstall and now it’s telling me to update my app installer in Microsoft store, it’s also telling me I have a slow dns. First time I’ve had this issue
