Thanks for the great video! Just a comment regarding the non-interactive (automatic) scraper shown and recommended in the video. There is an issue in the 1.2.1 release that causes the results to be inaccurate for some games with similar names, like sequels and similar. This has been fixed already, and will be part of the upcoming 1.2.2 release in the near future!

@@ukaszbeben2557 Yes, in the "Other settings" menu you can change the scraped media directory via the "Game media directory" setting. Just be aware that ES-DE will only point to the new directory, it will not move any actual files as that would be a bit dangerous, so you need to move the files manually outside ES-DE. But that's a one-time job of course.

incredibly handy video. everything works like a charm. thanks man

Really informative video. Could you one day show a video where you explain how to install Japanese locale games that are bought outside of steam? Do you have to install them through steam, or can you play those kinds of games straight from the desktop mode?

This is brilliant. What a magical gaming time we live in.

That EMU Deck program is amazing. When I get my Steam Deck will be installing that first thing.

I absolutly loved this guide! The only issue I have run into is with PCSX2 not being configured properly out of the box, and not being able to locate the Bios files I have placed.

Should be gettin my Deck soon, as awesome as it sounds to play PC games on handheld, this is one of the things i cant wait to try with it xD

Finally getting my deck tomorrow, and I'm more excited for this than any PC gaming at the moment! I think I have a problem...

Great work and good video keep it up

Playing all of my favorite games on a single portable console was my childhood dream.

This looks amazing. I wish the Vita had more stable emulation support.

This is wonderful!

I knew I would be back here. Thank you for such a comprehensive video of setting all this up. I got my Steam Deck yesterday and I felt like this video makes this look too easy. And it actually was 😅! I can't wait to see all of these amazing improvements the EmuDeck and Emulation Station team will make. They truly deserve support for all of their hard work. Thanks again!

You have to hand it to the emulation community, when there is a product that is worthy of there time, they sure go for it. I doubt i will be buying one, but for those that do, this is great that the emulation community is supporting it. Will be interesting to see where this goes, looks very nice. Expensive just for emulation, but if someone brought it just for such things, good for them.

Wow, this is exactly what I was dreaming about when the deck was announced. Thank you for continuing to be my go to guru for all things emulation. I have followed your instructions to set up RetroPie from scratch and all kinds of fun tweaks there and now seeing how simple the process has become is mind blowing. A docked steam deck really is poised to become the ultimate console. Can't wait to see what their official dock looks like.

Many thanks!

What an interesting idea on your steam deck set up. Most videos have you set up so you have to bounce between desktop and gaming. Thats how mine is set up. I am thinking I like your setup better. Just use your desktop for gaming. Plus you showed how to get a game off a gaming disk. I had no idea you could even do that. Winter will be here before long, so I am gonna give this some thought, and thinking I may switch mine around like you have yours. Just a tip. Buy yourself a hub that goes into your charging port. You can hook up all your stuff in that hub. Dont have to use blue tooth if you dont want to. Just plug your wired keyboard and mouse into your hub. You just earned a new subscriber. Bouncing between desktop and gaming is not something I really enjoy. Huh. Very interesting. I keep all my stuff on an external hard drive that I plug into my hub. Just using your desktop for everything sure looks way easier.

You can also change the artwork for the icon in the steam list. go to the desktop mode, library and the list view (not the one with the posters) hopefully that makes sense

I really hope some of the pi image makers have a steamdeck so by the time mine becomes available around christmas there will be cool Images to obtain!

Thanks for this great video. Why do you strongly prefer to use an SD card rather than the internal storage?

the people who work on this stuff are heroes

After trying to setup LaunchBox, and standard Emulationstation on my Windows PC, I finally found the DE version, and it’s super easy to setup. Best of all it’s 100% free. With LaunchBox you need both BigBox and a premium Emumovies premium to get snap videos. That’s really expensive.

Even though I will continue to watch Deck videos daily, I'm not sure I'll get it. My smartphone pictured already gives me my retro gaming needs up to Wii emulation. Or I might wait for a Steam Deck 2. Wish it had a kickstand like the bigger Switches do.

Great video… Quick question, I have 100s of Roms and if I enable all to have videos would it take up alot of memory? Thanks I’m advance for the reply

I'll be doing this for sure once I get my Steam deck. Two questions though: 1. When you scrap for box artwork and video for specific systems, how does it know to find the correct box artwork? I'm assuming it reads the name of the ROM but does the title have to be in a certain format? 2. What's the average file size for the artwork and video? I don't want to download the videos and artwork if they'll take a huge chunk of my SD card. Rather just leave it basic without any videos.

take a swig everytime he says SD card and two when he says micro SD card lmao, great vid.

a bios is basically a copy of a systems internal software, some emulators (ps1, ps2, ect) require it for games to work. You can find them online pretty much anywhere, and sony actually has the PS3 bios directly on their website

Hi ETA prime....can you please make a Heroic Launcher setup guide? I'm having issues when downloading my games from the epic store. I'm not sure how to correctly install and play them.

Do I need to install retroArch? Thx for video!

You know how the Library shows the games dynamically, adding and removing what it showns when you swap SD cards, Does that feature also work with EmuDeck? Like will all the retro game entries go away when the SD card they are on is removed and pop back in when its plugged back in?

Hey quick question about PSX(1) emulation. when adding games to the Rom folder you need the cue and many *many* *many* bin files. this makes ES think you have like 20 of the same game. How do you make it so you can combine all those files into one so clear the clutter?

Thanks for this informative video. However I have 2 questions: 1) You mention multiple times in the video about recommending MicroSD for this setup vs using internal storage, but don't provide details as to why. Can you elaborate further on why you feel so strongly about this, and what the benefits are? I have the 512gb so I have plenty of room for ROMs and they don't take up much space. I would consider it more convenient to always have my emulation on the internal storage so I don't have to keep swapping things out. I'd rather have my Steam games on a microSD, but if you have a reason as to why I shouldn't do that, I'd love to hear it. 2) Is this compatible with RetroAchievements? I currently have RetroArch set up and use that, but I'm not happy with the UI and would prefer to use the setup from this video. I'm not too savvy with the emulation scene but if I recall correctly, Emulation Station uses RetroArch cores; therefore, shouldn't RetroAchievements work in theory?
