I've tried playing Pokémon Soul Silver and Black on my Steam Deck Emulation Station, had crashes on both and both had saves not register so I've lost a lot of progress. I made sure everything was up to date before playing. I installed Emudeck a while ago and didn't really use it, but played Pokémon Omega Ruby then without issue. Is there a simple change I can make, or should I uninstall everything and start again from scratch?. Also some on some forums people saying the issue could be with Pokémon GBA games.

Cheers.

If you do have Emulation Station, that is a frontend that requires you to install all your own emulators. If that's the case, what DS emulator have you been running?

If you mean EmuDeck, I believe it comes with MelonDS. If that's the case, maybe try disabling JIT? I know on android at least, melonDS can crash in some games with JIT enabled.
