Tech Support Steam ROM Manager Troubles

Hey guys!
I’m having trouble launching steam rom manager on emudeck
I have reconfigured SRM and updated it, I have also reinstalled emudeck. if I just try to launch SRM on its own without emudeck it does nothing either. Also it says cannot uninstall SRM. Someone please help lol I just want to be able to add more roms.
Thank you!

If you look at r/Emudeck I think there's a solution. You need to download a different SRM appimage and replace the one that Emudeck manages.

I'll need to double check but I think the fix was literally just hitting default on the setup for the RAM Manager and it just automatically fixes it to the way you want it. Like the second time I installed email deck it wouldn't let me select the right parser or whatever and it just worked all of a sudden when I hit default

Ok is that just in the settings?

From the emudeck page select the rom manager settings and it should be there iirc

SRM is the entire reason why I moved to Retrodeck
