[Discussion] Emudeck and other Emulators on the Steam Deck - eviltoast

I’ve installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here’s a guide.

I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I’m playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??

    As I recall, retro deck installs an emulation hub that you go into, and then choose what to emulate.

    Emudeck installs a bunch of individual emulators and configures them, and also sets up roms so they show up as standalone games in your library. The end result is the games feel like steam games, and you rarely have to mess with anything showing them to be emulated titles.

      Emudeck also installs EmulationStation. You can choose to access your games and not by integrating then into Steam. Just like Retrodeck.

        And Decky Loader has several Emudeck plugins, but I don’t recall seeing any for emulation platforms.

      RetroDECK is a flatpak application that builds in a variety of emulators and systems into one app you can download from flathub.

      We are also working on the “Add to Steam” function. You can read more about it in the links posted in other replies in this thread :)

      I may have to check out emudeck then. I’m not sure if retrodeck can do that too, but I like the idea of it treating roms as standalone games in my library. I might end up running some games as part of retrodeck, and some from emudeck.
