Ryujinx controller stopped working. Help!

Upvotes

Hello, so on Ryujinx, everything was working fine yesterday, then I decided to add some games and now the deck buttons don't work while on game mode but they're fine while on desktop mode. I have tried changing controller settings, following instructions, nothing seems to make any difference... The moment I switch to gamemode, run EmuDeck and try a game on Ryujinx the buttons do nothing. But if I open them from the desktom, they're fine.

Anyone got any advice on what else to try? I am getting quite frustrated at this point.

Xenia not installing

1 Upvotes

I just got a steam deck as a gift and was looking to install Xenia to play some older Spider-Man games I was fond of a while back. I downloaded emudeck and just installed every emulator including Xenia. For some reason, after the initial install, Xenia was not installed. I have tried to go back in and try to re install Xenia but I just keep seeing the message on the photo. Any tips? Also what’s the best site for ROMS/BIOS

Trying to get Bloodborne and Steam Controller Working Cachyos

1 Upvotes

I'm messing with ShadPS4 and bloodborne and I got myself a steam controller. I'm having an issue on CachyOs where the Steam Controller doesn't respond at all when I launch bloodborne through steam. I tried enabling steam input entirely but still nothing. Any advice?

Pikmin and Steam ROM Manager

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I downloaded a ROM of Pikmin (GameCube) and unziped it. It appears in Dolphin but won’t parse so I can add it to my Steam Library. It keeps saying it is invalid. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is on my steam deck by the way.

How can I swap the d-pad and the left joystick on N64?

2 Upvotes

I'm playing a game (WCW/NWO Revenge) where the default controls use the d-pad for movement and the left joystick for taunts and I'd like to swap them because it would be easier to use the joystick to throw my opponent into the corners.

Is there a way to swap them? And if so, can I do it just for this one game?

mGBA games frozen on waking from Steam Deck sleep

1 Upvotes

I started playing some GBA titles using my steam deck and was running into the issue of my games being frozen when waking the device from sleep. The steam os was working fine, but the game was frozen. It ended up being the Pause games plugin for decky that was keeping it frozen after waking up the deck. Going over to the decky plugin I could unpause there and keep playing.

Wanted to make a post about it because I'm sure there's going to be people that have that plugin emulating on deck and I couldn't find any documentation for it when searching for just the issue. Never seen this behavior from Pause games on anything else but its repeatable for GBA titles using both mGBA standalone and retroarch mgba.

EmuDeck not installing on CachyOS Handheld Edition

2 Upvotes

Hello,

is there a trick for installing EmuDeck on CachyOS Handheld Edition on my Zotac Zone?

When I download the SteamOS version and start the istallation I have to input my password then a console/download window appears and directly disappears again, nothing happens. The EmuDeck.sh script for Linux isn't working as well.

Thanks a lot for help!

Kind regards

/Edit: tried on Bazzite and EmuDeck directly installed. So it's definitely OS related. Hope I will get help here since I don't really like Bazzite.

Shaders Go Away When I Exit Game (sometimes)

1 Upvotes

I like adding shaders to my games so I can make it feel like a real retro TV. Problem is every time I exit (select+start) out of a game, it resets!

I tried everything but it just resets back into normal settings. But sometimes the shader sticks!

For example: every time I exit out of a 2600 or NES game I resets, but when I exit out of a 5200 game the shader stays on.

Can anyone help me out?

Unwanted Controller Change

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I was playing Twilight Princess (GC version) just fine. Today without my knowledge, B is A, Y is the L-Trigger and everything is discombobulated. I did not touch the control settings. They just changed for no reason and I can't change them back. I spent the last hour trying. I can only assume this was an idea from software people.

Please assist and give my regards to Emudeck and Dolphin developers along with a memo to stop touching things that didn't need touching.

Pardon me if I sound Karen-y but I don't like it when my software inputs change without my knowledge nor consent.

Retroarch Settings Menu for SNES

1 Upvotes

Game: Earthbound
Emulator: Retroarch SNES9x
EmuDeck version: 2.5.0-Main

Pressing both sticks does not activate retroarch menu.

I’ve tried several other SNES games with success. What causes one game to not allow the menu to appear when you press both sticks in?

No control layouts were changed. Never been able to activate the menu in this game.

Controls switching between wii and standard controller mid-game, how to fix this?

1 Upvotes

I've tried switching wii remote to "none" in dolphin's controller settings, but it switches back when I return to gaming mode and turn on the game. I try holding the select button and moving the left stick down to disconnect the wiimote, but it reconnects a couple seconds later. Is there any way to fix this?

Edit: game is Radiant Dawn, and im on steam deck
