EmulationStation-DE rollback for Windows Users
Hi, we've had several reports of some emulators not launching properly from EmulationStation so we are rolling back the changes regarding EmulationStation from yesterday's release until we can figure out why it's not working for some people.
If you are having issues with EmulationStation:
- Open EmuDeck, go to Manage Emulators, click on Update all configurations and you should be good to go.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

I am also having problems, in Emulation-Station only SNES games will launch, no other systems will launch (NES, N64, DS,etc) but all games are correctly listed in their appropritate categories. I have tried doing what you posted but when I go to "Manage your Emulators" there is no option for "Update all configurations". Am I missing how to do this correctly?
Send me a DM please
How do you exit cemu and rpcs3 on rog ally? Running through emulation station.
START+SELECT
I’m trying to login to emuDeck for windows on my ally but I’m stuck at searching for update and can’t go any further please help!
I have only had the Rog Ally since Tues , and downloaded and installed straight away so I'm presuming I have the version previous to this new release
We haven’t launched a new version in a while so you probably have the latest. Emudeck on start just checks if there’s an update, if you don’t get one then you are on the last version :)
Cant update Emudeck to newest version , seems to start downloading then goes to main screen , when I launch Emustation it still says there is an update available , any help appreciated
What version of EmuDeck do you have? We will release the new update for ESDE soon
Rpcs3 is not showing up in steam emulation
No special characters, just letters and numbers. It just seems like the login button doesn't recognise being pressed. Other then this issue the app is an absolute dream and everything i ever wanted on my pc so thank you so much
Glad you are enjoying it! Go to tools and stuff and look for retroachievements and try again until it works for you :)
Hey team, i just set up a retro achievements profile however when i click the login button in emudeck, nothing happens
Make sure your password doesn’t have any special characters
thank you, unfortunately that didn't work, I tried updating the powershell and doing the "environment variables" option as well buy still the same message :(
never mind, Re- installed EmuDeck and it is now letting me continue with setup. :)
hello, just joined this patreon, trying to install Emudeck on the Asus Rog ally but when I get to the "SELECT YOUR ROM DIRECTORY" step and I select my internal ssd shown as "Custom Directory" drive it just keeps telling me it is a "Non Writable directory selected, please choose another" Any help is appreciated
Try this: https://github.com/EmuDeck/emudeck-we/wiki/Common-Issues#emudeck-wont-allow-me-to-select-any-drive
i am also getting this error when trying to put in my token
Same, try again every 30min/1h until it works
Hi I keep getting: There seems to be an issue with your patron account, please send us a DM
Hi, try again. Sometimes Patreon API doesn’t work as it should and doesn’t recognize you after some time
hopefully I'm not bothering but are there any plans on making vita3k supported on Emudeck windows?
Yes, we will have the same emulators as we have on SteamOS
I can't seem to get MelonDS to launch (Windows 11 through Steam), I keep getting the error: melonDS: Unknown option '@'. I have reset and reinstalled MelonDS, and standalone it seems to work fine, just not when launching games from Steam. Any ideas?
Im currently out on vacation so I can’t check it. Make sure your games are not zipped, if they are not I’ll check your issue asap when I come back next week
Hey y'all - hopefully I'm putting this in the correct place. Thanks for all you're doing! Got EmuDeck up and running on my Rog Ally. Couple questions. 1) I have it hooked up to a dock with a portable monitor, keyboard and xbox controller. How can I get EmuDeck and these emulators to recognize the controller, or how can I easily switch between the two controllers? 2) How can I gracefully exit these emulators and get back into the steam interface? I've been long pressing the quick control button to get to the task manager, and I know there has to be a better way. THANKS AGAIN
Hi, as long as you are using Steam all your controllers should work out of the box. SELECT+START closes any emulator :)
Hello, the option to download new themes in emulationstation is not available in this version anyway to update so we can do so? Thanks for your hard work!
Hi, the option is there. Main Menu -> UI Settings -> Theme Downloader
Good it's working now but I had to manually type in the token. Copy to clip board and paste doesn't seem to work for me. What key do you push to paste the token?
CTRL V or right click on a mouse should work
Does anyone know why Yuzu wont update past version 1476? I have tried the update option through emudeck for windows multiple times but it does not seem to update past this. The current version of Yuzu for windows is 1487 according to their github.
There’s a bug with controls and Steam on versions after 1476, so until the Yuzu team fixes them we are forcing 1476
I updated my emudeck, and now Steam Rom Manager forgot all my settings for each game, like the cover art and whatnot. Do I have to go and set all of them up all over again? It took me like 4 hours to do :(
how did you change the cover art? If you did it using SRM they should remain
There is no Xbox or Xbox360 emulation available...
Not yet
I'm perpetually stuck at checking for updates since the update a few days ago, I've tried restarting 20-30 times, uninstalling and reinstalling emudeck both to no luck. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Delete the youusername/appdata/roaming/emudeck/backend folder
I wanted to mention that I very much appreciate the faster cloud save integration, but unfortunately it has triggered a different annoying issue. I'm assuming it's not just me, but I have video thumbnails from screenscraper in Emulation Station. Normally those videos automatically pause when you launch a game, which they still do, but now when that additional dialog box pops up for the cloud sync it's basically like an alt tab out of the game so the video (and it's audio) start playing again. This causing the audio from the video to overlap with your emulation audio, which as you can imagine is very annoying. To get around this for now I've had to disable audio in thumbnail videos. Perhaps there is a way to stop that dialog box from coming to the front when launched or something? Thanks as always for your great work!
We found that precise bug and we reverted back to the old way. Reset ESDE + SRM configs to fix it
Thank you. Just wanted to report that duckstation via emulation station finds the right path again to boot into ps1 games, emulation station does not continue to play metadata preview video audio when starting a game, Yuzu is still giving me that controller configuration bug when launching via emulation station(Yes Running latest Yuzu version, controller configured in Yuzu settings, but controller input only seems to work when launching game straight from Yuzu app). I appreciate the rollback for now!
the problem is using yuzu latest, you need to reinstall from Manage Emulators and use 1476. We've opened an issue with the Yuzu Team, see if they can fix it.
Hi and thanks for this amazing utility. On Windows 11, not sure if this has been mentioned as one of the issues, but Dolphin seems to launch in a state that doesn’t allow for entering and exiting full screen, and in general hot keys/shortcuts don’t seem to work when running through emulationstation. Can’t save states etc either. Not sure if this is from emudeck settings or if some version of dolphin it uses is wrong. Stand-alone everything works fine. Through the launcher, I can’t use these shortcuts or even exit the emulator easily. You are seriously providing some awesome work. Thank you.
Is this a Desktop PC? Are you launching them from Steam?
I can’t get buttons work in Citra emulator.
https://github.com/EmuDeck/emudeck-we/wiki/Common-Issues#i-have-a-rog-ally-my-controls-dont-work
Ok i will try that
Yes but can’t figure out where to place them
Check the folder Emulation/bios/yuzu
I downloaded everything and tried using the switch emulator R for Pokémon violet, but I keep getting a key error. Anyone know what to do?
Do you have firmware + keys?
I've been having issues since I installed it with the last update. With the last update it wouldn't let me parse any of my ROMs it kept telling me that my configuration was skipped/ invalid. Now it won't even let me launch steam Rom manager at all. I am running Windows 11 Home Edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm not sure exactly where to go to report a problem so I figured I would go on here and hopefully somebody will see it. Thanks in advance. I hope we can get the problem solved because I love EmuDeck on my steam deck and I really hope to be able to use it on Windows.
HI Patrick, try reseting the configuration for Steam Rom Manager, we still don't know why, but sometimes that fails the first time. After that you should be able to parse your games. If you can't even open Steam Rom Manager, I'll suggest restarting windows, and if you are still having problems, reinstall it from Manage Emulators. Keep in min SteamRomManager takes several seconds to load.
hello, i have a problem with the steam rom manager since the new update in my windows handheld. my excluded games are showing up again when i parse it. when i exclude all my games again, it doesn't show up in the exceptions folder anymore. can you help me guys?
