EmuDeck WE 2.1.12 aka "Controller Galore"
🕑 Added 2023-06-03 21:39:59 +0000 UTCHi!
We wanted to focus on controllers for this new release since we have a lot of workarounds in place to get everything working and still we have all these issues:
- Mandatory manual configuration for some emulators
- Manually setting up Steam Input for desktop
- Steam Deck controllers not working
- Steam Controller not working either
- Uncertain future compatibility with Asus Log Ally / AOKZOE A1 PRO and third party controllers
- Only one player available to play
- Some emulators couldn't be closed using START + SELECT
- Switch Pro controller having the BAYX buttons reversed on Nintendo systems
Well, I'm happy to announce that those issues are all gone after this new update :)
Gyro controls are still being tested and are not present in this build, those will be easier to update on the future with just one click for both the Switch Pro Controller and the PS5 Dual Sense.
Instructions - Please READ carefully.
1 - Update EmuDeck, then go to Manage Emulators -> Reset Yuzu, Ryujinx, Citra, Dolphin, DuckStation and SRM
2 - Open Steam Rom Manager and disable all parsers except EmulationStationDE, Emulators, Yuzu, Ryujinx, Citra, Dolphin, and DuckStation ( you don't need to re parse other systems )
3 - Click on Parse -> Remove from Steam
4 - Click on Parse -> Save to Steam
This will enable Steam Input on all those systems, so any controller will work as a virtual Xbox Controller, with this change every emulator or system we might add in the future will be configured automatically!
All emulators should have now 4 players configured. For Wii to avoid having 4 cursors on screen they are disabled, you'll need to enable them on Dolphin manually, but they are already configured so no need to do anything besides that.
That's all, after doing this every emulator should work out of the box, please report any issue you might encounter :)
If for some reason you have problems using your controller with any other systems, just do the same steps. It's not needed to re parse your whole library in this update but it certainly is recommended if you can.
Have a great weekend!
We have a small surprise for the next week :)

hi there,
EmuDeck
you should have it, it's the third device on the selection list when you install EmuDeck

Very excited to get into the EmyDeck family. During Install , we dont have the ROG Ally as controller, which one should I select?
Stephen Hodson
Will do, my rog ally comes tomorrow so going set that up first before I try my desktop stuff again, which is where my issues lie. Will see if I have any issues on the ally when setting emudeck up ;)
EmuDeck
Thanks ;). Just let me know if you got it working
Stephen Hodson
OK will try those out. Strange with yuzu though as only have one controller plugged in? Thank you for the quick reply though and loving the Integration with steam and the work you've done :) I'm a new user, coming from retrobat and most of it is familiar, so will hopefully get there with it.
EmuDeck
The yuzu screen is normal when you have more than one gamepad and yes, I hate that too. Please check that your games have the Emudeck Steam Input profile added, I guess the 8bitdo should use the Xbox profile. Also select and start are long press, so you need to hold them for a few seconds
Stephen Hodson
Just installed the latest Windows release and I'm having issues with hotkeys and controller on certain emulators, yuzu for example won't close with the start+select, and every time I open a game it comes up with the controller profile box and I have to select controller and profile etc. Once i select them the controller works fine. Duckstation, cemu, ppsspp are also not working with the exit hotkeys of start+select. Controller is the 8bitdo ultimate. Is it worth uninstalling and starting again?

I did, and still won’t work, the Java error is still popping out error: spawn emulation \tools\srm.exe ENOENT

How am supposed to add roms and games?
Sandro de Souza
When I click on the icon on the desktop it opens fine, everything was installed, the ROM manager won’t launch
EmuDeck
Does it work if you launch it using the Desktop icon?
Sandro de Souza
After installing EMUDECK on AYANEO Air Plus, when I launch the Steam ROM Manager I get a JavaScript error, Uncaught Exception: what should I do? I can not add any ROMs, Games etc
Andrew Vazirzadeh
Thank you for the response. Love your guys great work. Thank you and all the content
EmuDeck
Hi Andrew, not yet
Andrew Vazirzadeh
Does this have yuzu ea on it?
EmuDeck
Should work out of the box after this last update But either way we will test it when we get ours

EmuDeck
open powershell and run these commands: winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements winget install -e --id Git.Git --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

Nice! Thank for all the future rog ally users !!
Ded Otter Man
Yes but then it only shows X's on 7Zip and Steam without attempting to download after a failure.
EmuDeck
do you get the powershell window showing it trying to download?
Ded Otter Man
I have a question. How do I know that my emudeck is downloading? Every time the GIT/7Zip/Steam shows up it is not downloading. I have steam and 7 zip already so why cant it identify those files? PS: This is on Windows 10.

EmuDeck
