Still having problems for the controls to work I open it on emulationstation and regular ps2 in steam and controller doesn’t work any fix?

EmuDeck

Thanks, in some systems the number of " makes the script work, when in others don't. Have to check if is somewhat related to languages? I know windows changes stuff like keyboard shortcuts per language, who knows if it affects this too

I've figured out the issue that was preventing at least me from using Gaming Mode on Windows 11, there was some errors being thrown in the reg add commands that set Steam's Big Picture Mode as the windows shell. I am no programming boffin, so I asked GPT-4 for advice and it correctly advised on the fixes needed to the syntax. Here's the scoop https://chat.openai.com/share/34ba5b2a-5fc2-4cfd-b70f-2404fe33d64d I can confirm that these changes allow my Gaming Mode to work, although I'm met with a prompt of "Setting up SteamUI...Value Shell exists, overwrite(Yes/No)?" after entering Y gaming mode fires up :D

It literally says: Look for app in Microsoft store? You have to install an app to perform this task. Would you like to search in the Microsoft Store?

Bob Ijpelaar

I turned my firewall off and still it asks to download an app from the microsoft store… very weird. Any idea what to try? Also tried running the installer as administrator but that didn’t do anything

EmuDeck

I don’t have an Ally here but other people reported that you have to change your Ally to gamepad mode and not on auto mode

Bob

Hey, I'm launching it through Steam. If I put it on "Auto" and switch the controls to "Pro Controller" and Input device "Xbox 360 controller", it doesn't recognize any inputs. I think the Rog Ally is staying in desktop mode because, if I change the input device to "keyboard, it will allow me to navigate, but no button inputs. Not smart enough to know why the Rog isn't automatically switching to gamepad mode itself, lol. Thank you for looking into this.

Bob Ijpelaar

Just left my house while downloading diablo. Will immediately check when i get home. What exactly should i check btw?

EmuDeck

Should auto update automatically

EmuDeck

Some people reported windows firewall being the culprit for this issue, can you check that?

Bob Ijpelaar

It is version 2.1.6 btw. Maybe its too old of a version? How would I get the newest one?

EmuDeck

Mame is a real pain. Maybe your romset was a 2003 set? Regular Mame needs an up to date set

Bob Ijpelaar

Hmm when I try to install emudeck it says: “search for app in windows store?” If I press no, nothing happens, if i press yes, it says no results found

EmuDeck

Did you launch it using Steam and you Ally was on gamepad mode?

GoogBass

I have the same sort of issue (on Rog Ally as well), yuzu launches with emu station fine but the control doesn’t react. Thank you Bob for the temporary workaround 🙏

EmuDeck

There’s an issue I have to check when using EmulationStation but adding the games to Steam Deck should work out of the box

Ted Ignatovski

I have the ROG Ally and Citra doesn't seem to be installing. Every other standalone emulator is showing up except Citra. Will there be an update for this?

EmuDeck

It should work but we’ve had some reports of SD cards not being recognized so please report back when you try :)

Bob Ijpelaar

Btw, you are insanely fast with your answers, thank you very much

Bob Ijpelaar

Haven’t tried it yet. Wanted to make sure i didnt have to format before installing emudeck on the sd card

EmuDeck

And you can select it on EmuDeck?

Bob Ijpelaar

Oh yes, my ally immediately recognized my sd card in file explorer

EmuDeck

Doesn’t matter, as long as windows can detect it you should be fine

Bob Ijpelaar

I have a question. Do I have to format a brand new SD card before installing emudeck? And should I chose NTFS or exFat?

Stephen Hodson

It is that 😬. When launching steam / emulation station the ally default to auto. I had to go into armory crate and creat a profile for steam so it goes into game mode when it launches. Saves doing it manually. The only other issue I noted, that may be of use to you, is that mame doesn't seem to work out the box, but I don't know if that is ally specific, I had to use mame 2003. Then anything that uses retroarch had no sound, I had to go into retroacrch settings and make dsound the default on the audio driver, as xaudio was defaulted when I installed it. Just got to test things like yuzu later.

EmuDeck

It seems the auto mode of the ally is giving some trouble, can you try setting it up as game pad?

EmuDeck

Hi Bob, we will investigate your issue, see what’s the best approach for the Ally

Darwin Muniz

Yes, I can

Bob

The only way I can get Yuzu to work on my Rog Ally is to turn the control mode to "Gamepad" instead of "Auto". After I made this change, I went into configuration on Yuzu and switched the controls to "Handheld" and input device "Xbox 360 Controller 0". I hope there is another way to get this to work automatically without having to go through all these adjustments each time I want to play something in Yuzu.

Stephen Hodson

I may have sussed this out, and might be useful to you for testing. It's armoury crate and the control mapping. It defaults to auto, and it seems steam / emulation station treat it as keyboard layout. Use the armoury crate button and change it to gamepad it starts to work. If you look in the keyboard mapping on armoury crate for desktop mode the b button is mapped to escape.

Stephen Hodson

I have also installed on the ally but have a weird issue with button mapping. I launch emulation station through steam and the a button does as expected and selects but the b button doesn't go back a menu, and instead brings up the main menu. I've tried every button and non work as the back button? I.e. x and y are acting like page up and down. I selected the ally as the device when doing the install process. Any ideas?

EmuDeck

if you use the file explorer can you see the SD Card on the Ally?

Darwin Muniz

When installing on Rog Ally, it does not recognize SD card and says if SD card is not recognized, need to format in Game Mode as if installing for Steam Deck vs Windows. This is a brand new SD card (never used). I removed the SD card and put it back in multiple times and still not recognized. How can I fix this?
