Steam Machine Fixes - EmuDeck EA
Edit: I think everything on the list has been fixed!
Hi!
I got my Steam Machine this Monday and I'm working right now in fixing some issues.
This fixes will come as what I'm going to call "micro updates", these are updates that will happen automatically every time an emulator is launched, so you don't have to go back to desktop mode.
For instance if Ryujinx has an issue, just launching it by itself of by launching a game will apply the fix before loading the emulator or the game. This also works when launching ESDE.
Steam Machine bugs:
SD Cards are not being detected when installing EmuDeck - Fixed
Ryujinx controls not getting setup - Fixed
Dolphin controls not getting setup - Fixed
Cemu controls not getting setup - Fixed
New SteamOS / Linux features
Since I'm working on controller bugs I'm also adding some new features related to controllers.
Setting up controls for external controllers
Now if you connect more than one controller EmuDeck will also set them up in the emulator for you. Nice feature for those that play with your Steam Deck docked with a controller since this will put the external controller as the #1 player by default.
Adding gyro support on Ryujinx - Steam Deck controller only
Gyro should work out of the box with Ryujinx.
Better CachyOS and Bazzite support
As a side effect of fixing the Steam Machine bugs, control setup on CachyOS and Bazzite systems should also be improved too.
I also plan to port these controller features for Windows as soon as they are stable on Linux.
If you have another bug with your Steam Machine that I haven't found or if some of the fixes are not working for you please let me know!

Hi there! I've just got a steam machine and I was looking to see settings etc. I saw retro game corps had a youtube video 11 days ago saying they are "collaborating with the developer of emudeck to make it more steam machine friendly" is there any info on this 'post collaboration' update? Im happy to wait for it and then follow their video guide for ease initially im just wondering if there is news on it?
"....these are updates that will happen automatically every time an emulator is launched..." What is the implication here? Are emulator settings that we modify post-initial emudeck install going to be wiped and reset everytime we launch an emulator? Asking because there are many emudeck specific settings that we change after the fact due to the config (usualy render settings) seemingly targeting the lowest common hardware spec (Steam Deck) regardless of using SteamOS on other hardware. If these settings are reset anytime an emulator is launched or anytime a "micro update" is pushed that would be a problem. If I am misunderstanding what this is please clarify. If that is what this is I highly recommend making this an optional toggle.
nop, only for fixes like the controls setup. I won't nuke settings
My Steam Machine arrives next monday. Can't wait to install EmuDeck. I installed it on my Steam Deck and it was great.
Hey, so for awhile now cloudsync still hasn't been working for me. I've tried the discord but to no avail. I've gotten nothing on how to fix it. Any help would be very appreciated.
is the team helping you on Discord?
Got rid of my SteamDeck over a year ago, could not play modern games, moved to a Rog Ally X and Emudeck still does not run right.... controls do not work in games. No desire for a Steam Machine due to it's price vs hardware.
which emulators? is the Ally in gamepad mode? Windows is a lot more trickier than SteamOS for this kind of thing. Or are you using SteamOS there? If you have SteamOS on the Ally X these fixes should also work there
I know you have the branding and whatnot but clearly these are EmuChine updates
EmuChine? I don't follow
my Steam Machine is coming today I'm looking at the ups map right now lol thanks for all the hard work so fast as always
Thank you! I was getting mad with the Dolphin controller support!!
I would love gyro support for the steam controller too!
I've been looking into it but its complicated so I've decided to leave it for later on
I own a steam machine also it’s been working fine just same issues on steam deck where cloud save keeps prompting to upload or download lates save or local save, some emulators like Cemu I had to manually direct to rom location , this may be my issues since I made a copy of my steam deck sd card to external ssd for emudeck and directed it there but everything else is working fine
How do you even get the cloud saves to work? It just keeps cycling on both my steam machine and steam deck asking me to join even though I did. When I turn on the cloud save options in the DE emulator program it turns off after each play session so nothing ever syncs. Any help would be appreciated. Googling thus far hasn’t given me much
Thanks for the hard work ❤️
