Head over to the EmuDeck website and scroll down until you see the "Download App" button and click it. Once that is finished downloading, move EmuDeck onto your Desktop. (Yes, there is a guide to installing it right above which you can follow as well).
Then you can select "Easy Mode", which will just install and take care of everything, or "Custom Mode", which gives more specific controls over what is installed, including options like RetroAchievements. We will go with Easy Mode since this is a fresh install, though you can try out expert if you want to!

Then, it will ask where you want everything to be installed. This is completely up to you, whether you want it on the Deck's internal storage or the SD card. I put mine on the SD card personally, but it is up to you. After that is clicked, it will install the emulators, as well as EmulationStation-DE and Steam Rom Manager.
Now that EmuDeck has installed, everything will be mitigated into a single EmuDeck application on your Desktop. You can now access everything from there. When you double click it, it will check for an update and then bring you to this new screen.
Here is where you will go to see the changelog, update your installation, and update/access any tools EmuDeck has. Let's start with doing a custom update. Here, you will be able to "reinstall" your EmuDeck but be able to customize the installation with new settings, adding in RetroAchievements, and more.
First we just have to add the program to Steam itself to be able to play in Game Mode. For this, all you need to do is go to Steam and in the bottom left corner, click "Add a Game" and then "Add a Non-Steam Game". From there, navigate to your "tools" folder where EmuDeck installed everything and add the "EmulationStation-DE.appimage" file. Now you will have access in Game Mode, so lets hop on over there and check out the program itself.
And that's it! That is the basics of setting up emulation and the 2 different tools that you can use to do it. Check back soon as we will be uploading guides on using dual screens with Wii U games and compressing emulated games! If you want to know how to play 3DS or Wii U games on 2 different screens, we wrote guides! Thank you for reading!!
Don't do it people!!This garbage messed up my steam deck, it went from running absolutely perfect to running like a glitchy mess after installing emu-deck!I re-imagedy deck and it stall ran like shiz,I literally had to RMA my steam deck!Stop trying to push this trash on people bro!You've been warned!
Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoy the website. We hope to keep the content coming as we continue to cover the news, make more guides, and review more games! Your support makes it all possible, so again, thank you!!
All you have to do to get up and running is to run the EmuDeck script on your Steam Deck. Then copy your Trilogy ISO to /home/deck/Emulation/roms/primehacks/. Exit Steam in Desktop Mode, and add artwork with Steam ROM Manager. You should be able to launch PrimeHack and the ISO directly from Steam in Game Mode.
The Portable Mode option will automatically create a portable.txt file which triggers PrimeHack to isolate it's settings and saves inside your install folder under a new User folder. Be careful not to use this option in a UAC folder such as Program Files as it will be unable to save without administrator permissions. 2ff7e9595c
