EmuDeck WE - Latest round of fixes

Sérgio Silva

Please how can I uninstall emudeck?

Sérgio Silva

Yeah made sure it was on it's giving me an error/k start /min "emu" c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" /k (the same path) && exit make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

Sérgio Silva

Hold on please I removed everything from steam. Got to add everything again.

EmuDeck

Can you check that you have Steam input enabled on the Steam entry? Wether is the game, Citra or ESDE?

Sérgio Silva

Thank you. Restarting the ally to get out of citra again😓

EmuDeck

Nop, that’s how EmuDeck works. Keep in mind this an Early access version so bugs will happen, I’ll try my best to fix them as soon as I can

Sérgio Silva

Sérgio Silva

Yes, games work, and dolphin and cemu the hotkeys work fine

EmuDeck

Did you remove the games and parsed them again?

Sérgio Silva

Says windows cannot find k start?

Sérgio Silva

No nothing works, and I can't seem to be able to run the emulators through steam either they don't open. 🥲

EmuDeck

Select + start don’t work?

Sérgio Silva

My citra now locks me out on ROG ally can't go back can't open anything have to force restart to get out of a game... Hot keys don't work... Idk what I'm doing wrong, it worked before the update

EmuDeck

Right now extracted isos. PKG will come in a later moment

Daniel Drese

What file extension for the RPCS3 are inside this folder then? ISO or PKG and RAP?

EmuDeck

Do you see the downloading/uploading dialogs when launching games on both devices?

Stinvil93

Yes my Main PC and my ROG Ally

Luís Morais

I'm sorry, I didn't follow. What should I reinstall?

EmuDeck

Reinstall selecting the drive where the SD card is, all the emulators will be on C, and the roms on the SD Card

Luís Morais

Nope, my plan was to have emudeck on the ssd and the game library on the SD. However, when I tried parsing it didn't find the games, just the emulators.

EmuDeck

did you chose to install emudeck on the SD Card?

Luís Morais

Hi everyone, I just started to use emudeck on the Ally and I'm having trouble with detecting my roms. I have them on a Sd card, with emudeck installed on root. Is this the problem? Thanks

EmuDeck

Are you trying to sync 2 windows devices?

Stinvil93

Cloud saves via Google drive don’t seem to work. The button to sync on the cloud sync page does nothing. I log into my account I get the message about how it will upload when I save. On my PC I have my new save and on my Ally I have the old save. Is their something I am missing?

Red Pilgrim

No. When I launch the emulators through steam and try to change the keybinds, it is acting as if I have desktop mode enabled on the Ally controls even though it's forced to gamepad mode. Like if I try to change a keybind to B it makes it backspace. Steam is showing that the controller is using the normal Xbox controller layout.

EmuDeck

do you have anything like handheld companion installed?

Red Pilgrim

When I have steam input enabled, no hotkeys work for any emulators I use, which are all of the Nintendo ones. I tried doing a reset config for each but nothing changed. When I disable it, it starts working.

Devin Rios

On here or on disc. Not seeing a way to send videos

EmuDeck

Send it to me in a DM

EmuDeck

There’s no Xbox emu yet, what you saw is just an icon. But it will come soon

EmuDeck

Nop, we need to use launchers so we can enable cloud sync, but on the next release they won’t be as noticiable as they are now

Tomasz

Is there a way to turn of CMD console when the game/emulator is starting?

Devin Rios

This is what I'm thinking. Perhaps there is a setting off somewhere. Makes no sense. Where should I send the video? :)

Dubsmachine

Why don't I see Xbox emulator to install but Retro Game Corps has it in his guide for EmuDeck Windows?

EmuDeck

For ESDE, so ESDE should have Steam Input too

Red Pilgrim

Hmm. I will try enabling it again to see what happens when I get home tonight. If I am playing all my games through ES, do the steam settings for ES apply or the individual emulator?

EmuDeck

It’s supposed to be a plug and play installation. There’s probably something wrong with your system. Send me a video showing how you do all the steps and I’ll try to find what’s missing

EmuDeck

Yuzu, Citra, Ryujinx and Dolphin need Steam input to work

Red Pilgrim

I had to actually force steam input off in emulation station to get it to work on my Ally. Now it works for every system except 3DS

Devin Rios

I'll stick to just using the emulators separately for now. Seems Emudeck is just broken on my Ally at the moment.

Devin Rios

Did all of that! Quick reset, gamepad mode on opened steam. Ran the game. Nada. No controls work not sure if I'm just incompetent.

EmuDeck

Don’t adjust settings, that could just broke the setup. Follow this steps in this order: Make sure you have game pad mode, not auto. Then open EmuDeck, do a quick reset, open Steam, run any rom from Steam and report back

Devin Rios

Still can't get a single control to work on the ROG Ally running through steam. I've tried everything, adjusting configs, resetting steam settings, gamepad mode. Nothing works.

Domenico Carpentiero

I renamed the folder and also changed the directory from ES main settings

Domenico Carpentiero

The game works using RPCSX3 but only if I open it from tools/launchers/rpcs3 - if i try to launch it from ES it tells me that error

EmuDeck

Did you change the emulator to RPCSX3 Directory? And did you install the firmware on the emulator?

Domenico Carpentiero

I made all the changes for ES but when i try to boot the game from ES an error appear ["roms/ps3/InFamous.ps3" nothing to boot]. How can I solve?

KaoS

Awesome 😎

EmuDeck

An updater is in the pipeline. First we'll smash all the bugs we have, and then we'll resume adding more features

KaoS

Thanks 👍 Any help that a future update can provide would be great! Only EmulationStation has issues updating. All other Emulators seems to be fine.

EmuDeck

It might be a bug on our end, let me add it to the bug list. In the meantime if you want you cans download manually and copy the files in your USERFOLDER/EmuDeck/EmulationStation-DE

KaoS

Thanks. Been trying that for months. I just tried it again with no luck. When I check the EmulationStation launcher in the Emulation\tools\EmulationStation-DE folder, the date modified says "3/11/2023" which was the original date of the first install. I just can't seem to ever update EmulationStation. Any other ideas?

EmuDeck

Update from Manage Emulators, pick reinstall/update

EmuDeck

They are not available at the moment , ext emulator we add will be Xenia

KaoS

Is there a way to properly update EmulationStation to the latest version through Emudeck? Everytime I try, and then launch EmulationStation, I get a popup saying...."New Release Available! 2.01 [2023-04-23] Can now be downloaded from https://es-de.org/" I'm on Ayaneo 2 btw. How can I update this through Emudeck?

David

why wont the Xbox and Xbox360 emulators work on the Asus Ally work? they dont show up when setting up and thus wont install.

EmuDeck

Not yet. Soon

Perry Kappetein

is PSVita not in here? Along with Xenia ?

KillaUKG

Thanks for the response. Opened power shell in the folder and ran each command one by one. Both times it said that the package was already installed and that no upgrade was found. When trying to install after through emudeck the same issue occured

EmuDeck

the same thing happened to me on our AOKZOE test machine, never happened before on any other device. open powershell and run this commands: winget install -e --id Git.Git --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

KillaUKG

Having a really strange issue, whenever I go through the process of installing, the installer starts, prompts me to install 7 zip, which is already installed, at which point the command line closes and just displays that neither 7 zip or steam are installed and I cannot continue the installation process

Bob

I went into Yuzu directly and dropped the keys into the needed folders instead of going through Emudeck. Then I just launched Yuzu through the Armory crate game library. This was the only work around I found that worked for me.

EmuDeck

check the pinned post

C

How do I download for rog ally ????

EmuDeck

Seems like an issue on a new Yuzu release, we are gonna have to wait for them to fix it and release a new one

EmuDeck

Hi we don't have an official guide for Windows but you can follow this guide for SteamOS, works almost the same as on Windows

EmuDeck

We are focusing on fixing bugs right now before adding new features that will probably add more bugs. So we are doing a bit of a quality review

Gibram Alvarez

I am having issues and I can't seem to find my answer, should I go to discord and try there? I am still getting the "Encryption keys are missing" but I have just dumped and dropped all of the new ones with the newest firmware as well. The games launch but I hate to have to minimize to click "ok" and move on. Thanks for y'alls help!

Connor Burt

Do we know when Xenia is coming? Really looking forward to testing the original Crackdown on my Ally

Perry Kappetein

I installed it on thePc, and I get a Emudeck Steam Rom manager icon. I dont get this on the ROG Ally. 2nd. How do I start any program? i dont see it in the Steam manager, like the Emustation 2.0 ? only the gaming consoles.

EmuDeck

unknown at the moment, we need to get fixed other stuff before trying to add this functionality. Technically if you go steam and create a desktop shorcut and then add that shortcut to armoury create...that should work but haven't tested it yet

Matthew Eckert

Unfortunately, the dimming occurs when I launch a game or emulation station. It seems the dimming only affects the desktop, not the game itself, and restarting the monitor fixes it. It's annoying, but I can tolerate it, I suppose.

Michael

How do I fully uninstall Emudeck and remove all directories, folders, files it creates? I installed for the ROG Ally and I am having this weird issue during the initial setup where you select a drive and then it keeps bringing me back to the beginning where I select Custom setup and would to start from fresh install again.

Perry Kappetein

"Armoury crate links won't work." Will this get fixed, or will it never work?

Frank

Yup! That makes sense. Does this affect other emulators? I mainly use dolphin and cemu

Jaime Capponi Zerene

hi, thanks for the emudeck im now a patron now Im trying to use the new “sync emudeck” on my steam deck to next sync my saves to my rog ally. Its not working in the SD because after I choose dropbox or google drive it shows a notfication of copy one file, i click the file and its a loggin screen from dropbox or google drive.. but after click on loggin it does not work… what im doing wrong?? thanks !!

EmuDeck

Hi Frank, I think I already answered this on Discord, we have CPU accuracy enabled to improve compatibility at the expense of some performance

Frank

It also seems that the power profiles don't work great with it either. Not sure if it's because I had already installed yuzu before? Maybe that's affecting it? I haven't checked with any other emulators to see if that's only an issue with yuzu

Frank

Just keep trying, it works after 2-3 times. Same thing happened to me

Frank

I am getting a weird issue. I previously had yuzu installed on my ally. Then I downloaded the emudeck for windows and it installed it again (I chose my micro SD as the main folder). The emulators themselves get installed on the C drive it seems. Whenever I open the yuzu emulator that was installed with emudeck I seem to loose about 5-10 fps compared to the one I had previously installed. Is this a common issue?

Jonathon Richardson

I appears as D, when i get home tonight ill lmtlmell you the error that occurs. Says something like drive cant be found.

EmuDeck

The SD card appears as a regular drive, maybe it’s D:, please check windows file explorer to see the name of the drive that windows assigned to the SD card

Jonathon Richardson

Anyone help me with sd formtting? Emudeck cant find my sd card?

Bob Ijpelaar

Unfortunately, no, because I can’g get into EmuDeck (stuck on “checking for updates”) and then it mentioned that there was something wrong with my patreon account and had to contact you.

EmuDeck

can you try resetting Yuzu's config from manage emulators?

EmuDeck

that error tell you that the game is somehow corrupted. You might need to rip it again

EmuDeck

on a future release, we are focusing right now on bug fixing

EmuDeck

there's not. all the emus should have hotkeys to exit full screen, will that work?

Matthew Eckert

Is there any way to keep emulators from opening in full-screen mode? Every time I run an emulator, my monitor's brightness lowers, and I have to turn my monitor off and on to fix it.

Babi

When i try to run yuzu games via steam big picture (added with SRM) yuzu just opens and i get this error: Error while loading ROM! (007-0034) The NSP file is missing a Program-type NCA. Since yuzu opened, i can open the game and it plays normally. But its weird that i get this error and the game doesnt open itself like with other emulators

Darwin Muniz

I'm not seeing a Vita emulator (Vita3K) on Steam ROM manager. Can/Will this be added?

Bob Ijpelaar

furthermore, I have problems controller input on Yuzu. Not a single button works. I launched jt through steam and emulation station while on gamepad but still no controls.

Bob Ijpelaar

I have an issue on my Ally since today. When I startup it gets “stuck” on checking for updates. The bar just keeps going.

EmuDeck

Thanks, will take a look into it!

EmuDeck

Soon

Mattmactimpson

When will you add ea yuzu option to windows like on the steam deck

Brett Fyfe

Small bug, the PS2 parser is not enabled automatically in SRM even though I have PCSX2 installed through Emudeck

Andrew L

If I understand the question, I’m on PCSX2

EmuDeck

what format is the PS2? check the ps2 rom folder, there's a txt file where you can see all the compatible formats

Andrew L

Hi guys- cannot for the life of me figure out this issue I’m having with EmuDeck and Emulation Station. My games are imported into ES and showing up, but it can’t find the PS2 rom that I installed through Emudeck. Any suggestions?

EmuDeck

Sorry I forgot to add the part about changing the default emulator for PS3! Post updated with the complete info

EmuDeck

HI, we are overhauling our Steam Input profiles to fix this kind of issues, we should release them tomorrow after more testing :)

Tony DiLeone

Yes I am

EmuDeck

are you using the Ally connected to a TV using Bluetooth controllers?

Tony DiLeone

Yuzu working fine with steam input. Ryujinx isn't for me. Have to keep switching between internal ally controller and Bluetooth controller in Ryu settings.

Christopher copeland

This is the xbox 360 version. I'm going to try to play around with the settings till I hear back from emu

Tony DiLeone

Christopher copeland

Sorry for the late response. So if Im Playing raging blast 2. To ascend In the air is to long press the L bumper. If I long press it it registers as if I just tapped it for a jump animation.

EmuDeck

That was ESDE devs recomendation, will have to do more testing!

EmuDeck

did you rename them with .ps3 at the end?

EmuDeck

false positive! :)

EmuDeck

Are you doing a long press?

Christopher copeland

Hey the L bumper and R bumper won't work on the ally on the games. When loading games on estation. Any comments.

Tri Luu

how do I get it to work? How do I create these shortcuts

Erik Peterson

So the RPCS3/EmulationStation fix now makes them actually appear in ES, but they won’t run, since it tries to run the entire folder and not the individual files. As it stands, shortcuts are still the only way to make them both appear and run from ES.

Bob

You can update the software, but without a response from someone why it's showing up as a virus with Windows Defender, I don't think I'm going to update it. I would really like to know, before I allow Windows Defender to do the update, why it's popping up as a virus. Basing on my understanding after reading about what type of virus it's stating the virus protection is blocking, I don't trust doing the update till there is an answer. You can allow the update if you're using Windows defender by just opening windows defender and stating the file is safe. Can someone provide an answer for this please?

Antony Hernandez

same thing is happening to me, what's going on?

Sbh44

Same issue and it won’t update!

MarcoMeatball

Oh wait is that why they won't run when i extract them (PS3 games?) They're JB files. So confusing!

Bob

When I attempted to install the newest version of Emudeck, Windows Defender is saying there is a virus. I don't know if this is a false positive. The trojan it's detecting is Wacatac.B!ml. Is this normal?

Tri Luu

I can't even launch rpcs3 from steam

Tri Luu

same thing. it doesn't boot up

Connor Burt

Thanks for the update! I can now see my ps3 games on emulationstation but when I try to run them they don’t boot which is strange as they do when I launch them from rpcs3 so not sure why they don’t on ES :/
