It's just so wild to see $15,000 SEGA model 2/3 arcade games of the 90s running in the palm of your hand in 2024.

Just a heads up to anyone wanting to play Daytona USA, emulate the PSN version through RPCS3. That one is made with gamepad controls in mind and actually plays properly. The original model 2 version's controls don't translate well to a gamepad, you need a steering wheel for that one. That's how I always did it on PC, arcade version for steering wheel and PS3 port for gamepad.

I remember seeing someone say that when scrolling web pages on the steam deck the best way is to use a rotational motion on the touch pad instead of just sliding up and down or left and right, I wonder if that's actually possible to do in the emulator. I really need to get around to installing all this stuff and trying it myself.

OMG, if you can sync saves between Onion OS and EmuDeck. That right there, is a KILLER FEATURE. :D I love my Miyoo Mini. It's great to bring on any small trip or commute. I have EmuDeck installed on both the Steam Deck and my PC, and being able to continue playing and pick up the progress from any of those devices would be absolutely incredible!

Awesome video as usual, Russ! This was perfect timing! I was actually running through EmuDeck this week on my Steam Deck. Though, I had no idea Sega Model 2 and 3 were now available to play! Growing up in the '90s, I played many of these arcade games so being able to play them comfortably at home now is just incredible! I know nothing about the Jaguar, but might check it out as well. Sega was one of the "Kings of the Arcade" so will thoroughly enjoy revisiting many of these classics and trying new ones! I'm glad we are correcting history so that these games aren't lost to time! I honestly wish Sega had ported more of its arcade games to home consoles, but glad we can now enjoy them again!

Man, I find myself gaming on my desktop PC less and less these days - the Steam Deck just kills it with the possibilities and convenience. Thanks for the vid as always, Russ!

I've JUST been wishing for an updated guide from you specifically yesterday, esp regarding the steps to re-add/update Yuzu/Citra. Thank you!

Damn, I had no idea Model 2/3 emulation was even in the works for Steam Deck! The ability to play Scud Race and Sega Rally Championship 2 in a handheld is insane.

Timely video as always Russ! I was just searching on how to update Emudeck after the Yuzu and Citra shut down and am so glad to see your video, which will help greatly. You also unlocked several core memories for me - Primal Rage, Jurassic Park and Sega bass fishing were childhood games I thought I have lost to time. So glad to see that they live on and I can even play them on my steam deck now. Thank you so much Russ for doing what you do! Your videos are what got me into retro devices and retro gaming. I am always checking out your reviews before I buy a device. Keep up the good work! 😊

Thank you for making this video! I heard a lot of mixed things on reddit about emudeck and updating, so this makes me feel better about opening emudeck again

I REALLY appreciate your videos. Clear explanations with a slick, clean presentation. Keep it up!

Man I'm so excited you mentioned and showed Last Bronx! Where I grew up, consoles were super expensive and arcades were nearly non-existent but Last Bronx actually had a PC version which I played a lot of (albeit only the demo with Yusaku and Lisa). I still remember the stuff they would say when they won! Eventually my dad put a stop to us playing it because we were essentially jamming dozens of keys on one keyboard and creating loads of noise lol.

amazing video. cant wait to set up the new emulators on my deck

Thanks, this is really the guide I was waiting for before isntalling the new stuff.

this is great for the steam deck. only gets better with time (unless switch emulators)

I do have to thank you. This video made me check my Citra install through EmuDeck (I updated it without really thinking about it) and now it's absolutely messy. So gotta figure that bit out. But kudos.

Appreciated this video, I've been looking for a Steam Deck OLED to purchase so it was well timed!

Don't own one, but always appreciate your videos! Thanks for doing a great service to the community!

Great video! I think that little tidbit on cross saves with miyoo mini plus with Onion OS is a game changer. Gonna have to get one to compliment my SD OLED!

I'm glad they finally added a progress bar!

It’s possible to configure the steering on those Model 3 games to not be so twitchy. If you search for Warped Polygon and Supermodel, you can find some premade configurations that help a ton.

Would love to see how to update on windows or ROG ally

Sweet, finally got my Deck yesterday.

Russ, it is awesome to see these games running on the steam deck! I remember going to the arcade to play Star Wars Trilogy and it being $1.25 per play. But man it was awesome game! Awesome to see this again. May need to grab it also for my deck!!

Star Wars Trilogy was expensive, but I found it one of those arcade games that didn’t cheat to force you to keep pumping quarters constantly! So it was one of my must-play games when I went to arcades 😁

I spent a lot of money on SWT Arcade back in the day (so much so i could eventually beat it on a single dollar), its probably one of the best arcade game I have ever played. Glad to see you showcasing it in this video. I still play it on my PC with a HOTAS stick but even on a gaming rig, there are some graphical issues. I think there are some configuration files people have put online but i have not looked into it. Thanks again for showing off an amazing game :)

Seeing that Star Wars game emulated at the end is a dream come true! I remember playing that at my local movie theater, and having the same experience of only being able to play it a handful of times because of the price. So cool that I can finally play it again! What an amazing time to be alive for retro gaming!

I've been playing w/ model 2 and 3 on the steam deck for a while now and now that its part of ES thats awesome. Couple things with those 2. In ES the default start + select doesn't exit games as those are not default hotkeys for 2/3. I had to google the exit commands for both emulators and then manually add it to the default retroarch exit menu if that makes sense. Also, w/ those emulators I found it alot more fun to turn on gyro for aiming and use one of the back buttons to toggle that on/off. Much easier to aim than w/ trackpad.

Man Russ is just such a great guy. He even makes sure I eat.

Found your channel after getting the steam deck oled in December and wondering just how good it is at emulation. Stayed for the content and I'm now waiting to order an odin 2 pro for a dedicated retro device. Your videos are not just informative but presented in such a way that even an idiot could understand. You're easily the apex retro game creator. Keep it up 💪

So many info Thank you so much from S.Korea 😁

Bought a used 256gb LCD deck two days ago for 300€ and waiting for its arrival! Gonna install emudeck day 1 🤣

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

I like that rom manager will create collections for each system in steam os. I added my entire collection (after a lot of work correcting art and metadata) and I just use the collections tab in steam os.

Hey Russ! This is amazing! Thanks for the continuous high quality content. Qq, what did you set on the controllers for Star Wars Trilogy Arcade? It runs pretty well for me but the joystick is incredibly sensitive, making it difficult to aim

Dang I literally just installed emudeck using his old guide yesterday! Lol crazy

Thanks updating now. I have a second steam deck just for emulation.

Great vid, subbed

I loved those Sega arcade games, we used to play those on cruise ships as kids :D Especially Cruzin' USA en some power boat game.

Brilliant video. Just received my Steam Deck OLED and am diving into this update! I have a quick question regarding the resolution scaling within games though! First, does it apply to all emulators in Emudeck, secondly, it seems to require holding start and using the d-pad, though doesn't holding down the start button also act as a shortcut for changing the hotkeys control type? Many thanks again :)

Phenomenal Video!!

Hey Russ, I've been watching your vids for a while now, and it even encouraged me to buy a Steam Deck. Major problem I have now, is where to find ROMs. Do have any recommendations? Keep doing what you're doing! All the best!

i literally Just got a steam deck this is such a blessing getting a helping video on this

OMG my local arcade has Starwars Trilogy- and you only have to pay to play the arcade by the day. I’ve gone and just sat down to grind that game. So cool you can get into the deck!

Excellent video as always. The only thing I’m not sure about. If I update, having Yuzu and Citra already in emudeck, will they still work or will I need to follow the additional steps in this video?

Nice video! Could you please tell me, what skin and case you are using on your Steamdeck in this video?

Can't wait to pick up a Steam Deck oled

about touchy controls in some model 2 games. The emulator tries to emulate arcade steering wheel so instead of flicking stick from side to side you need to pull stick up and turn it left and right like a wheel

Daytona USA was my favourite dreamcast game. I bought it in 2001 I think it was.

Helpful Video, I don’t think that was Battlemorph on the Jaguar CD though…

A sega model 2 i enjoyed a lot with his port to the sega saturn was virtual on

The compression tool seems nice, does it convert the roms to .chd completely? Like if I installed a ps2 rom in the file then I use the tool does it completely convert it to .chd and that is what I would see? or would I see two files?

I'm selling most of my physical collection to buy a 1tb OLED with a 1tb sd card. This is the future. Physical games collecting has become a rich person's game and most physical media will eventually degrade anyway. The Deck will revolutionise the gaming market.

It already has, it's affordable, it's powerful enough, it's got an amazing community of support, all the ones that came after the deck are windows based, they are more powerful on paper, but they didn't sell as well as the steam deck so the community is bigger it has more support from indie developers like emudeck for instance

Great video I freaking loved Star Wars trilogy!

You know the weekend is going to be great when there is a Retro Games Corps video to watch 😁

WOW, great video Russ, as now I want a Steam Deck more than ever, and if I never played a PC game on it, I would be happy with nothing but emulation. One of my biggest issues with emulation is the controls, and having access to so many varied options on the SD is next level(pre configured is a dream come true). And for some of those games you had to reconfigure, isn't there an option for community added control configs per individual games that you can download? Model 2 & 3 must look amazing on that OLED screen, as in the arcades I don't think I ever saw any games that looked better then those(truly amazing tech for the time, and they still look amazing to this day).

You can literally map anything to anything with steam input support with emudeck and steam ROM manager. And it's per game too! I have the back button R4 as a gyro toggle for Pokemon snap when I take pictures for example. Easily the best emulation device on the market. The dpad is atrocious in my opinion though. 😂😂😂 Nothing a Bluetooth controller can't fix.

I love those Sega Model 3 games

If I can cloud save retro games between emudeck and a miyoo mini that'll be huge!

6:47 the word isn't "slash", Russ. It's hyphen. ;) Veery tempted to put this on my RG556

Those games look Crisp clear

I love how overly polite you are! Like at 17:40, you just can't say these games suck! Haha! Great video and keep up the outstanding work!!❤

Thank you for this awesome video! I have some issues with using EmuDeck. Last year, I installed EmuDeck on my Steam Deck, but some cores didn't run successfully, so I switched to Batocera instead. However, after uninstalling EmuDeck, these games remain in my library, and there are too many to remove one by one. What can I do? Any tips would be welcome. Thank you again!

is it easy to tweak controls on The Lost World and Star Wars arcade? I would love to play those docked to my TV with a ps5 controller and gyro aiming.

I have a different way of loading files from my PC to the Deck, which no one seems to mention, and I don't know if it is because it's not the fastest, or because I'm still running Win10 and the option is gone in Win11, but... In Windows, I just make the folder containing the files I want a "Shared" folder, which means its contents are accessible to anyone plugged into my router, or my WiFi network, who also has access to my Win10 login details. (right-click the folder -> Properties -> sharing tab -> share button) Afterwards all I need to do is open the file browser on my Steam Deck, locate my computer as a Network Device, open the shared folder (it will ask for a login, unless you share to "guests" or "everyone" on the network) and copy -> paste the files from my computer to the Steam deck folder I want them in. The process' speed depends on your wifi/router speed, it works flawlessly and fast enough in my opinion. Larger files might take a bit of time, but I still think it's a viable way to do this if you don't have a fast external hard-drive, or simply if you don't want to keep loading your files to a drive and then onto your steam deck.

i am sad that you didn't play sonic the fighters.. that game is so good :(

The number one features I've been hoping for is simple cloud syncing like OnionSync! I'd buy more devices if I could swap them easily!

My fav model 2 games are Sega rally and Top Skater, awesome arcades at the time. Have you tried if fightcade works on Steamdeck, to play retro games online?

Hey Russ, did you not noticed weird controller setup made from new EmuDeck update? We are also missing Citra, Cemu and Yuzu templates. If Citra and Yuzu are back in EmuDeck, where are the controls themes?

I love my emudeck! If we need to factory reset, will this mess with much of our Emudeck stuff? I have the games saved on an sd card but its the only worry i really have. My steam games im not worried about at all.

The SW Trilogy Arcade Hoth sequence looked very close to the Shadows of The Empire opening level graphics. How much is it upscaled?

Do hope that EMUDeck's ROM launcher has Windowed Mode in their settings on the jump.

I've lost the interface showing up when using the left trackpad with emudeck since the last update. Did someone have the same issue ?

I've been wanting to get Scud Racers on my Deck for ages, so I'm delighted it's now so simple. Cheers for the guide Russ.

I installed the model 2 emulator put the games in the Ram's folder zip than when I launched it it said something about downloading proton then it closed now it won't even open any tips

Can’t wait for your video on the FPGBC Russ! (Day 4 of asking :D)

I have a dumb question: is it easy to set up control profiles? like if I want to dock a deck and then play head to head on a tv with someone using wireless controllers is it just plug and play or do you have to reconfigure everything?

How would you compare to the Odin 2 ? As far as playing all emulators and what would be the best bang for the buck. I just want to know where im going to put my money?

Has the 2.0 version of Cemu caught up on motion controls? 1.27 was the only one working with that recently.

Gotta love the sweet little piracy machine!

What theme are you using on emulation station? Looks clean.

Is there any way you can do a video on how to set up the Wii on the steam deck and how to configure the steam deck as the controller

Is it possible to have the emulators to use the same frikkin control scheme? Not sure why but it seems that nobody had the thought to actually unify the control schemes. If you use ES then you use the same shortcuts, but as soon as you switch to PS3, PS2 or DS for example, then you need a mouse to change settings, or need to start all the emulators in desktop mode first, to configure them all. Would be great if they would just use the same settings... Same buttons to swap screen size, same buttons to open the menu, same buttons to quit and go back to the frontend BTW isn't better to get the DC version instead of AM2 and AM3 versions? The dreamcast version usually has a lot of extra features, while the arcade has most often than not just the vanilla experience

I hope that compression tool comes to windows at some point

Yeah, man...I wanna do it.

I spent the last week or two trying to decide on the Miyoo Mini or the Anbernic. I pulled the trigger on the Anbernic, but now I see the OnionSync feature. DAMN. 🤡

Will using the emudeck compressor tool mess up my roms for future use like say if I get a pc in the future will I still be able to use those same roms because I thought it says it deletes the original rom files

Onion sync will be GREAT

Important question, did they fix the error where the controls would be disconfigured every time I put the deck on sleep mode?
