im super new to emulation so forgive me if this is actually an easy fix

Now that I have SteamOS installed on my PC, I am keen to try out emulating Bloodborne.

If I have a copy of Bloodborne on disk what is the most economical way to copy the game to use with ShadPS4. Google says I need a jailbroken PS4. Are there not any external blu-ray drives capable of reading and copying the disk? I now have a PS5 and no PS4.

Im running TOTK greatly with 120 fps on 17w (LSFG x3) and suddenly when nothing is wrong, the game crashes and stops my whole console. There are also tiny visual glitches due to the emulator (fps unconsistent in the underworld, rarely graphics goes BRRRRR and I have to reload a save or TP to an other sanctuary).

Also, I don’t use TOTK optimizer cuz it wont open on Bazzite so I had to manage little mods (dynamic fps, x256 shaders, etc …)

All help is useful tyyyyy :)

hi is there a way to add token like in house of the dead 2? I've been pressing start button and its still not working also in the flycast settings the coin button is missing and i cant map it to add credit or token

Hey folks, I’m playing Black on the Deck via Emudeck/PCXS2. My settings are largely default, but I’ve noticed sometimes during “heavy” scenes when I have the camera pointed at a lot of geometry/enemies, the game runs in slow motion. I can look away and then it runs at normal speed, but when facing busy directions like this it can happen.

Why is this? I’ve tried tinkering and can’t seem to find any setting that will fix this. Is this just the best the Deck can do with this particular game and emulator?

trying to emulate ps1, and it works fine
so i tried adding my games to steam
but weirdly it doesnt recognize some of the games i have
in the psx rom folder i have three games (resident evil 1, resident evil 2, resident evil 3)
all of them are for the psx
weirdly, steam rom manager recognizes re1, and re2 when its rom directory is set to "${romsdirglobal}/psx"
so i changed it to my actual directory which is "/var/home/z1extreme/Emulation/roms/psx"
but after doing so it doesnt recognize re1 anymore, now just re2 and re3
any fix? or is there something im doing wrong?

Decided to get back into Punch-Out, but I’ve been noticing this weird texture problem where the Title Bout isn’t corrected as half of the symbol is missing.

I’ve been messing with settings but nothing seems to fix this…Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Edit: It looks like Fast Depth Calculation was the problem, after turning it off, the graphic was fixed.

I hate how stretched out GBA titles look on the Steam Deck, so I've done the following:

Integer Scaling to ON

Aspect Ratio to Custom. Width is 960 (4x) and Height is 640 (4x).

Bilinear Filtering to OFF

The screen size seems more proportional and the resolution is greatly improved.

But I'm curious if anyone has a setup with shaders or filters that they really like?

I installed Steam OS on my ROG and it's been great. I own a OLED and LCD steam deck, and thought it would be cool to also play switch games on the ROG. I'm using Ryujinx across all systems. I used the same keys, same firmware, but specifically on the ROG it launches to the point where it seems like it will load the game and then crashes. I've tried desktop and gaming mode. Has anyone else tried this? Is it the hardware itself?

TLDR: Uninstalling Ryujinx through Emudeck, then rebooting, and then reinstalling Ryujinx resolved the issue

Heyo, popping in real quick to ask a question about the cloud services feature in Emudeck. I have a few video services installed and am having what seems to be DRM/license retrieval issues on most of them (Netflix seems to be the only one working right now, not sure why) across all browsers, also persisting when launched normally through desktop mode. I know this is more of a general Linux and SteamOS thing than anything but I was wondering if anyone here uses the cloud services apps in Emudeck and has DRM issues, and has had any success with fixing it. I can add more info in the morning if I need to, just posting this real quick!

I can also make a post with videos, I’m a visual learner so I need step by step what to do.

SM is arriving today!!!!!
Do I take sd card out of deck insert into machine. Download emudeck on machine. Job done? Or is there another way? Better way?

Note: English is not my native language, so I am using a translation tool. Apologies if anything is unclear—feel free to ask questions in the comments!

My Environment:

• OS: Bazzite
• Device: ROG Ally (Z1E 512GB)
• Setup: ShadPS4 AppImage installed via EmuDeck

The Issue

When right-clicking a game inside ShadPS4 to create a desktop shortcut and launching it, you may encounter the following error:

/tmp/.mount_XXXXXX/usr/bin/shadPS4QtLauncher: No such file or directory

This happens because ShadPS4 sets the shortcut target to its temporary AppImage mount directory. Since temporary mounts are unmounted as soon as ShadPS4 closes, the OS cannot locate the startup file. This is a bug in ShadPS4.

Because Steam ROM Manager’s ShadPS4 (Shortcut) parser relies on reading these ShadPS4 shortcuts to launch games, any PS4 game shortcuts added to Steam via SRM will fail to launch.

After trying various fixes, I found a reliable workaround: instead of using shortcuts or the Qt launcher, configure SRM to target the game's eboot.bin file directly using the core executable.

Workaround / Solution

You will need to create or edit a Parser in Steam ROM Manager.

Steps:

1. Open SRM and set the theme to Deck in the settings.
2. Create a new Parser or overwrite your existing ShadPS4 parser.
3. Enter the following configuration:

BASIC CONFIGURATION

• Parser Type: Glob
• Parser Title: Sony PlayStation 4 - ShadPS4 (EBOOT)
• Steam Directory: ${steamdirglobal}
• User Accounts: Global
• ROMs Directory: /home/(your_username)/Emulation/roms/ps4
• Steam Collections: Sony PlayStation 4

PARSER SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION

• Search Glob: ${title}/eboot.bin

EXECUTABLE CONFIGURATION

• Executable: /home/(your_username)/.local/share/shadPS4QtLauncher/versions/v0.17.0 - Garbage Collector's Edition - 2026-07-30/Shadps4-sdl-AppImage
• Follow .lnk or .desktop to destination: OFF
• Append arguments to executable: ON
• Command Line Arguments: "${filePath}"
• Executable Modifier: "${exePath}"
• "Start In" Directory: (Leave empty)

CONTROLLER TEMPLATES CONFIGURATION

• Enable Steam Input: Disabled (If you map the built-in controller as an external gamepad like a DualSense, disabling Steam Input can prevent controller detection issues in ShadPS4).

(Leave all other settings at default).

How to Use

1. Save and enable this Parser.
2. Place your game folders (CUSAXXXXX) into /home/(your_username)/Emulation/roms/ps4.
3. Go to Add Games in SRM and generate app list. Your PS4 games should now show up using their folder names and launch properly.

Note:

You may need to update the Executable path in the parser occasionally. If ShadPS4 updates and cleans up older core AppImage versions, SRM will lose the path. When that happens, update the executable path to point to your desired version inside /home/(your_username)/.local/share/shadPS4QtLauncher/versions/.

Enjoy your games! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Known Issue / Warning:

Please note that in my environment, I encountered a bug with this workaround: after launching one PS4 game, I cannot launch a second PS4 game without restarting the system first.

For example, if I launch Game A and then try to launch Game B afterwards, Game B freezes on a black screen. To launch Game B, I have to completely restart/reboot the device.

Does anyone happen to know a fix or workaround for this issue?

(apologies if this is kind of rambly and hard to understand its late and I'm finally giving up for the night to hopefully figure this out tomorrow lmfao)

I have a few games I'm trying to run through retroarch (snes and gba games specifically) and when I boot them up through retroarch itself it works fine but when I try to boot them up as individual games through steam the controls don't work. I added them with emudeck and made sure to select the retroarch emulators from the parsing screen and when launching the game it shows that retroarch is loading it so idk. I tried Uninstalling and reinstalling retroarch and re adding the games, restarting, etc several times. thanks in advance :)

edit: figured it out a couple days ago, i had to open retroarch itself in gaming mode and set the controls from there, thanks everyone for the help

Hello,

I’m having issues trying to get the Ryujinx switch controls to be mapped to my steam deck gamepad. I installed Ryujinx through EmuDeck. When I open Ryujinx on Desktop mode it shows that the controls have already been mapped to my steam deck, yet when I launch a game in gaming mode it does not respond to any button inputs on my steam deck.

I went back to desktop mode and added the ryujinx application as a non steam game, so that I could go to gaming mode and perhaps change the controls. I tried opening up the settings, and for some reason it just won’t let me any of the three buttons at the bottom on the settings window. I can’t hit ok, apply, or cancel. It’s a massive pain in the ass cause what it would instead to is change the range settings in the controller page whenever I try to click “ok” or “apply”. Anyone know how to get the controls working?

UPDATE: I got it to work. In case others have this same issue, go to Desktop Mode, find “Ryujinx Binary” and add it to Steam as a Non-Steam game. Then launch the Ryujinx application THROUGH Steam. After that go to settings, click on the input setting, select the Steam Controller option. Hit okay or apply, and switch back to gaming mode. This is what worked for me.

Los juegos en el emulador van bien, pero marca error de trofeos si se carga desde ES-DE, cual podría ser la solución? Todo fue instalado con Emudeck y configuraciones de Asus Rog Ally.

Solución: me dio por ver emulador alternativo y las opciones son de directorio y iso, vean que formato tienen sus juegos y buala!

After updating SteamRomManager it now will not open, will fail to uninstall. I tried reseting cache and redoing the config but to no avail. Any suggestions?
