EmuDeck Early Access SteamOS + Windows new features
Hello everybody!
New update for our Early Access Patrons, first of all we are no longer going to use the Beta version of EmuDeck Windows, from now own both SteamOS and Windows will use the Early Access release, this will have the latest features available for Early Access patrons after being tested in our beta branch so you'll get features early but on a more stable fashion.
You can download both Early Access versions here:
SteamOS ( no need to download this if you have the previous early access too)
https://github.com/EmuDeck/emudeck-electron-early/releases/download/v2.1.6/EmuDeck-2.1.6.AppImage
Windows
https://github.com/EmuDeck/emudeck-electron-early/releases/download/v2.1.6/EmuDeck-Setup-2.1.6.exe
Ok, so What's new?
SteamOS
We've added Cloud Sync for the SteamOS version, now you can start on your Deck and continue on your Windows PC / Handlheld..or viceversa. This is a BETA feature, we've been testing it and we've added safeguards in case the cloud sync fails, or your system hangs, etc but just in case create a backup of all your saves before enabling it.
If you setup Cloud Sync, it will download all your saves for the Emulator you launch overwriting the ones in your local machine if they are older than what you have on the cloud.
Opening EmulationStation will download and upload all saves for all emulators so if you want to get everything synced asap just open EmulationStation first on the device you have the latest saves and then open EmulationStation on the second device where you want to have those saves transferred. After this first step just launch your games as always, only the latest files will be transferred.
Windows
- CloudSync Improvements to make it work with the SteamOS version.
- New emulators: Citra and Ryujinx.
- Steam input profiles to fix issues with Yuzu, Citra and Ryujinx, since those emus won't allow us to auto configure your controller. Follow this video to configure them on Steam: https://youtu.be/ra_B1axeFqU, this will allow you to exit any emulator by pressing SELECT + START for a few seconds and you can also change Citra's screen layout long pressing L1 and R1.
- New guided controller configuration after first installation with tutorial videos for Yuzu, Citra and Ryujinx
- Custom reset / install shows the same level of customization than EmuDeck for Steam OS has.
- Improved Emulator installation and configuration from Manage Emulators
- New PCSX2 path installation fixing launching issues from EmulationStation so You need to manually copy your saved games and states from the old PCSX2 folder to the new PCSX2-Qt
- Added missing Hotkeys for Dolphin, PCSX2 and DuckStation
- Fixed launching SteamRomManager from EmuDeck
As soon as you install both new versions go to Manage Emulators and update the configurations that are marked to get all these new features and make sure to update SteamRomManager configurations, update and run your parsers again to add all the Cloud Sync features :)

im so confused. After i ddownload(save) the link for steam OS early access and then whats next??? you guys kinda stopped there and sorry i just joined patreon so i could do this for my steam deck.
You can follow this guide: https://youtu.be/Y5r2WZAImuY
Is there any way to install this into a specific folder on a window computers C Drive?
Nop, right now is only possible to select the main drive, but this will change in the future
Guys can you please reach me , i'm Patreon donator but early access on Steam OS won't get me through (Pledge 0 error) i've sent a message through internal messaging. Windows is working fine

I have a small feedback: Dolphin should be named Dolphin (Emulator) in Steam/Steam Rom Manager (the Emulators parser). Otherwise, SRM always sets the wrong cover art by default (there is some old game from Atari called Dolphin).
Yeah, agree. That pink cover 😂
Launching emulation station on my steam deck doesn't update saves (no sync window appears), but launching individual games via steam does, also closing Ryujinx using the steam menu doesn't upload the savesA workaround is to close the game you are playing then open Ryujinx where it will ask to upload a save then once this is done then close Ryujinx (click file and exit,not exit via steam button) and it will sync the saves Aside from this the cloud syncing is working really really well especially with conflicts, great work all at emudeck
Thanks! Conflicts where why we didn’t deploy this earlier, we were really scared of deleting people saves. There was an issue with ESDE, update SRM configs and re add ESDE to Steam, that should fix it
hello! First of all thank you very much for your work. I have tried to choose the Emudeck WE layout, but when I click on my layout it stays loading and nothing happens, I can send you a video if you need to see it. Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Are you talking about Steam input? Make sure you are on the beta channel. Sometimes that part of Steam just randomly hangs, close Steam and try again
Hello! Not sure if Im missing something, but it seems kinda difficult to update cemu saves from the steam deck. When I close the game, I get a message that says there was a pending save upload and it tells me to not use the steam button to close the emulator.
How are you closing the game? Are you playing on SteamOS or Windows?
Does the cloud sync work with Yuzu ? from my understanding the saves are under each user profile which while the folders can be moved beteween PCs there is no way to import that user into yuzu
No matter how many times I log into my patreon from the steamos build, it tells me I'm not a high enough teir, I just checked, I'm on the early access tier. It won't spit out my token, just says I'm on a lower tier error https://i.ibb.co/xDk4M2D/Screenshot-20230506-134615.png
Link above was a screenshot of the error. This is a screenshot of my membership tier. This is driving me nuts, really want to try this, help!! https://i.ibb.co/KGmTmSq/Screenshot-20230506-134943.png
Does Ryujinx do cloud backups on steam os as they are saving in the Ryujinx system folder not on the saves folder in the emulation folder on the SD card?
I think the way to do it is to copy the save folder from Ryujinx to the emudeck folder and create a symlink between the 2
Hi, I have an problem with cloud save on windows version. When I choose my provider, none internet explorer open and I can’t configure it. Same for google drive, OneDrive… finally, I can’t configure cloud save and an error appair when I launching my games. Thx
Windows version? What does the error says?
For some reason no "User created templates" show up for me on the Steam input desktop configuration. Running on Windows 11, with latest Steam beta, like the video. Even after I press "Show all layouts".
What controller do you have?
You guys are absolutely killing it, as usual. Thanks for the amazing and hard work you’re putting in. I have a sort of “amateur hour” question here, but is there a way to prevent Ryujinx from displaying 2-3 entries for the same title; it appears to see the update and DLC files as separate games and not sure how to consolidate those in a clean and organized way. Edit: I realize this is probably managed in the parser using exclusions?
Best thing would be to not store the DLC in the same folder as the games, using exclusions is a second best option
Can you tell me the correct way to install the early access steam os version as I am running the normal version at present? Thanks 👍
Just download the appImage, run the updates on Manage Emulators, rerun SteamRomManager and that’s it. they can coexist
Also, I think you flipped the links
oops, fixed! Thanks!
Don’t forget you added pro controller support! 👍👍👍
Please let me know if the Xbox Steam Input profile works with the Pro Controller!
