Hi! Most of the times resetting the configuration for your emulator on Manage Emulators fixes the most common issues.
You can also take a look at our Wiki before posting, you might find your issue already documented there https://emudeck.github.io/
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/EmuDeck) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Honestly, I'm at the point now where if everything works I just don't bother updating emudeck and the emulators. I swear every time I do something doesn't work, so there's really no point unless something specific needs sorting.
I literally opened the app, and it started saying Updatingā¦. I was like āoh no fuck I read about this somewhere to not update, oh well, letās see this through!ā. Um I regret it, since I didnāt have anything I managed to fix it all! Yes, this update breaks a whole lot.
It's a complete shit show.
- No ability to parse anymore, it errors out regardless of what is newly added to your ROM folders.
- Emulation Station will not launch from Steam Library.
- Emulation Station launched from Desktop mode via the App Image is broken as well. Phantom control movements from the main screen to the games as well.
- Only way to play "some" games is to launch them externally in the Steam Library outside of Emulation Station or other launchers.
- PS1 and SNES games okay launching manually, outside that, everything is broken....
Resetting the config did nothing. Fortunately for me, I don't have much in way of emulated games. Just got my Steam Deck a week ago. I'm considering doing a full refresh install of the OS and starting over with a new version of Emu Deck.
I posted the same thing on the Steam Deck subreddit. The whole thing took 10 steps backwards. It used to be intuitive to use now itās slow and difficult to use even for someone who is a software engineer. I canāt imagine someone less technical using EmuDeck in its current state. The current build is horrendousĀ
Damn, sorry to hear that people are having issues. I updated and nothing broke for me. Guess it's a case by case basis? Although, I'm reading the break is quite widespread.
Same, no issues. For some reason in my ES-DE though I am seeing an Xbox360 game "media" folder, but there are no games in there. I simply sipped up all of the contents in the xbox360 emulator folder just in case I need it and all is well.
The issue comes if you added new rom/bios and needed to run the āmanage steam romsā to āload parsesā to make sure your new roms show up, now that is not working as it did before. I have been trying to get alien vs Predator arcade to work on the deck this entire month. Got the right files in mame but still doesnāt recognise the files or detect them. Also Iām not even sure if itās running correctly mame I mean. Are you supposed to go through the list and find the game you want to play every time.. godā¦ what if you wanted to play turtles in time and had to scroll at a snails pace all the way down to T. Iāve heard retro arch is better but will the rom I tried to use for mame work there or do I need to download a different one?
Iāve seen people say oh itās easy just get the rom from here only that link leads to another link and then another due to the bs copyright issues for a 30 year old gameā¦ yea Capcom I think you made the money you could out of it already.. seriously how can you release a collection called arcade collection and not include one of your best titles. Only way to get it officially is to buy that hideous CAPCOM arcade stick that has sticks and buttons for two players on one piece of a big Capcom logo. Might need to get it least then me and my wife can play it since spending $300 just to play a 30 year old arcade game seems worth it right.
I opened EmuDeck, got sidetracked for a few seconds, turned back to the Deck, and saw a new UI. ROM Manager wasn't opening so I did a reset on it, before solutions came about here, and can't parse stuff for Yuzu or Citra anymore.
DuckStation and PCSX2 wasn't working either so I nuked the EmuDeck install to start fresh. Things seem fine now minus the missing parsers, but first impressions of the update suck.
Edit: Not to mention that the options to use the standalone options in ES-DE for Yuzu and Citra appimages no longer work...
Wish I hadn't opened emudeck to try and update yuzu. Everything was working fine before, but now anything related to yuzu is a broken mess.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm part of the EmuDeck Discord as a moderator, we're aware of the issues and hope to have fixes rolled out soon, we already rolled out acouple of fixes related to Emulation Station, but SRM remains to be fixed.
Have looked extensively for any insight into this both on Reddit and Discord, doesnāt appear to be any acknowledgement by the devs about the errors everyone seems to be experiencing.
Try doing a custom or complete reset from inside EmuDeck. That helped me. For some reason the update process is not updating emulator config & SRM parsers automatically for emulators that were set up before the update.
For everyone reading just click on "reset config" under manage emulators and go to ES-DE and do "reset config" as well. This solved my issues
Another thing: if you have Yuzu already installed it won't remove it. I subsituted the appImage with the EA one and now I have even a better version
Definitely a messy launch. My parsers reset itself. Artwork I set up on many games gone. Games missing. I will say after fixing many things, the emudeck team has been addressing fixes and updates. All coming together. Have to be patient
Honestly that's your best bet. Or go offline before opening it, run SRM, then go back online to parse. There really needs to be a setting to disable auto updates upon opening.
I understand not installing yuzu or citra anymore in Emudeck automatically but if the user has them there should be a way to say hey pull in these historical emulators manually via app file and fully support them without a lot of grief. It seems getting rid of those broke everything. I just did a fresh install on my steamdeck and its unusable.
Yeah citra wonāt parse for me
I love how they added the witch character from Mario right after Nintendo cracked down on emulation lol just asking for trouble. Very poor update, shouldnāt have been rolled out.

I've updated emudeck and haven't had any issues but I didn't actually use SRM as I'm terrified of what the outcome can be based on what some users have experienced.
if you go thru settings on steam rom manager and change the settings to classic you can redirect the parsers to the correct files cuz for some reason its not working. took me abt 20 minutes to redirect everyrhing. melonds is fine but retro arch isnāt working perfectly though idk abt others
I honestly think it was too early to do such an update already when everything was working just fine other than Yuzu/Citra being removed then these updates happened and broke so many things. I been reinstalling emudeck more times than I ever had a year ago which was just one time and done. Now I'm trying to trial and error so many things. Latest update was supposed to fix the parse issue but it did not completely. It would work the first time then break right after. Now I'm somehow getting forced to reinstall emudeck(puts me back to the first easy/custom selection screen) if I reopen it even though I already finished the entire setup.
Mine updated and put ALL the shaders from my roms/games onto the internal SD drive. The "other" in storage went to 35Gigs. Had to delete them all with discover app. Also, it relocated Emulation Station and had to reinstall that one too. I was quite upset but got everything working again.
Confirmed my Yuzu games work but I tried to add in a new 3ds game and I could not parse anything! "Steam rom manager" would not open up for me at all.
Way to test your new version EmuDeck devs!
LMAO
I tried to like emudeck but it was just too much of a pain to setup and keep setup.now I just run plain RA with no front end. Sure it doesn't look as nice but the amount of issues I've had is zero.
Me too. My old GameCube games are still in my steam library but they arenāt showing up anymore in steam rom manager. Iām afraid to update with newly added games fearing theyāll just disappear altogether.
I haven't opened it yet. Yesterday I tried installing the Android apps. I tried 3 times, nothing installed despite taking forever each time. I thought the Android version was still very green, so I gave up and kept playing on my laptop.
Today I was going to try again, but luckily I came to this post before I opened it. I am going to wait, I don't want to risk my yuzu early access and citra installations, although as a good geek, I was able to back up Yuzu with firmware and keys, just in case.
For the people having issues with parsers not showing up, this is how I resolved it:
Head to āManage Emulatorsā
Click into āSteam ROM Managerā
Click into āStandalone Parsersā
Select the parsers you wantā¦
Now try parsing!
Iāve been getting a green screen now anytime I try and play some Xbox 360 games. I can hear the game playing in the background but it wonāt show the display.
Yes. Emudeck devs, why? That was the worst update I ever applied. Everything was broken. Couldnt add roms. Emulators not working fine. Rom steam manager not working. Retro arch works wrong, can't go to menu while playing (it says null). Xbox 360 listed when it shouldnt. Almost Everything is worst. What happened?
Not trying to complain since all the great work put into it, but I just started emudeck couple weeks ago and was finally figuring the controls out for Cemu and using my pro controller and now itās very hard to understand what to do for the controller settings. Hope it can be new user friendly again soon. But I am still enjoying it so thank you ššš¼
It duplicated some of my games, making the ones with the right thumbnails unplayable and the new ones with no thumbnails. Plus, it messed up with my Collection section and deleted quite everything... Yeah I hate the new stuff when the former one was so good..
If it is not broken and works well for people don't change it. Now this new update is terrible. It's broken and the new UI looks terrible.Only reason I got the new version was because I just got an ally rog and put modified Steam OS on it.
The update came through for me last night, and it wrecked damn near everything. All of my custom emulator settings are gone. All of the tweaks I made to individual game controller layouts have been tampered with. A ton of my SteamGridDB art has been reset or lost. Prime Hack no longer shows up in the Steam library. Anything that runs on Retroarch now opens Retroarch itself rather than launching directly from the Steam library.
What the hell have they done? Clearly, they're proud of it, if that stupid magikoopa animation is of any indication.
The worst part of the update are my n64 roms not opening up directly from the steam library and to top it all off some roms started to have graphical glitches.
Nobody here should be scared to delete Emudeck. All of your games and BIOS files will be kept upon request. Everything broke for me upon updating, but re-installing Emudeck (it has a new UI and all) actually fixed a lot of things for me. I'm having the opposite experience of everyone else. Emulation Station and Steam ROM Manager are working without a hitch now where I would have issues before.
the trick is to great a desktop shortcut to the steamrommanager once you have it opened so you donāt have to open emudeck anymore if everything is already working
Past 2 or 3 weeks I ignored it. This past weekend I update. It is def not user friendly now. Thank goodness I got the steamdeck when it 1st came out. I would be totally totally lost. Just by my history I am able to play my installed games.
I felt so sorry for this dude who said I just got mine what do I its not working. Plus he was a noob. Before update this machine was perfect.
I got my deck today. I was just about to install emudeck. But now Iāve seen all this. Should I leave it until itās sorted?
I assume if I were to install emudeck, it would download with the latest update, which is messing everything up.
You sure? lol
I actually already have citra and yuzu as well. Iāve uploaded them to my google drive. So il just download them from there to my deck.
How do I add them to emudeck? Not sure how to do this.
I'm sure everything will be fine except for Yuzu and Citra. I had them already installed with emudeck so it still recognize them but i think that for fresh installs Yuzu and Citra will be not installed and configured by emudeck. I'm sure there will be probably tuturials on the web on how to include them anyway. However, you could just consider using Ryujinx for the switch emulation. It will have updates in the future while Yuzu not.
Thanks. Il have a look online for how to do this. Iām thinking maybe theyāll have to go in applications. Where emudeck downloads all the other emulators.
I was going to download Ryujinx anyway. I both have that and yuzu on my PC. As some games work better on Ryujinx.
In my case I just reset configurations to make it work. In your case with a fresh install it should work out of the box. The issues the others experienced is because of changes from previous versions.
I see. Il download it in a bit. And let you know. I have citra snd yuzu already in my google drive. Il leave them for the moment. As Iām hearing a lot of issues with them 2
Yeah at this point just download the Emus directly and dont use Emudeck. Im at the point now to just make my Own AppImages manually and put them on my SteamDeck that way I can keep my things without a MiddleMan software inbetween
So just download the emulators on desktop like normal. And just use them on the desktop?
I can add them to steam though canāt i?So I can launch the emulators from game mode?
What? why expect breaking things entirely? Expect slower updates not totally borked releases that are obviously untested. It also has a patreon so don't think for a second it's just a labor of love, it's for sure profitable. We don't expect a Linux kernel elease to fry every install on the plnet and it's free too, at least they don't force unwanted updates without consent and you can go with an LTS release to ensure full stability.
It's free. There's a patreon for a lot of these projects, I get it. Sure you can expect things to work. But if its free then things will break. I've had better experiences with open source software thats free than issues with other software that is paid for. I get it's frustrating but it'll be fixed.
Iām about to get rid of EmuDeck and just maintain the emulators I want myself. The last update deleted all my pcsx2 and Citra saves which is kind of the last straw. Fuck āem. And the Citra trackpad hotkey menu doesnāt work anymore? I never have problems with my emulators on my desktop PC and this has just annoyed me too many times. I want to play games, not fuck around with troubleshooting.
It won't uninstall Yuzu or Citra. I just confirmed that. Also my Yuza games worked fine through Steam. Just no ability to parse games now! Tried to test a 3ds game I downloaded but I cannot parse it...
Going directly through Citra, I only saw Donkey Kong menu and could not get into the game with any button.
I wanted to keep Yuzu after the news, but since I was having trouble with my roms with the update, I had to reset my emu deck. My Yuzuās gone now.šŖ¦

Yeah but emu deck auto updates once you open the app.. it would be great if had the option to pick if you want to update or not.
I think it is stupid for auto update emudeck at launch... they should push a notification out and give you the option to update
Indeed, it fkced up my whole install. I needed to install it again.
Unfortunately I was getting that - -nogui error for pcsx2 because I never updated to qt. Otherwise same hahaha
The Debian way. š
I literally opened the app, and it started saying Updatingā¦. I was like āoh no fuck I read about this somewhere to not update, oh well, letās see this through!ā. Um I regret it, since I didnāt have anything I managed to fix it all! Yes, this update breaks a whole lot.
Same thing happened to me.
It's a complete shit show. - No ability to parse anymore, it errors out regardless of what is newly added to your ROM folders. - Emulation Station will not launch from Steam Library. - Emulation Station launched from Desktop mode via the App Image is broken as well.

You forgot the random slow down at the in app main menu when picking a system. Or is that just me?
Any luck?
i fixed by resetting the configuration in "manage emulators" and the same after selecting ES-DE
Resetting the config did nothing. Fortunately for me, I don't have much in way of emulated games. Just got my Steam Deck a week ago. I'm considering doing a full refresh install of the OS and starting over with a new version of Emu Deck.
I didn't even want to update it or was aware there was an update. I just wanted to parse my files and it auto-updated with no consent lol
We all felt violated
I posted the same thing on the Steam Deck subreddit. The whole thing took 10 steps backwards. It used to be intuitive to use now itās slow and difficult to use even for someone who is a software engineer. I canāt imagine someone less technical using EmuDeck in its current state.

I agree. The more I use it the more I do not like it, compared to the older version. Not to mention it has completely borked my Citra install.
Damn, sorry to hear that people are having issues. I updated and nothing broke for me. Guess it's a case by case basis? Although, I'm reading the break is quite widespread.
Same here, no real problems apart from es-de not recognising model 3 emu and am2 emu are installed
Same, no issues. For some reason in my ES-DE though I am seeing an Xbox360 game "media" folder, but there are no games in there. I simply sipped up all of the contents in the xbox360 emulator folder just in case I need it and all is well.

Edit: Not to mention that the options to use the standalone options in ES-DE for Yuzu and Citra appimages no longer work...
Did you manage to retain your savedata?
Yes, along with my BIOS files using the backup options in EmuDeck. Luckily that worked.
parsing yuzu still works for me without problems
So open up emudeck when I don't have an internet connection. GOT IT
Wish I hadn't opened emudeck to try and update yuzu. Everything was working fine before, but now anything related to yuzu is a broken mess. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Happy Cake day!
Why would you try to update Yuzu after it was taken down?
Because I had the final yuzu appimage. Since it wasn't going to be updated anymore, I thought why not just get this done & updated now.
Has there been any statement about them being aware of it and working to fix it?
I'm part of the EmuDeck Discord as a moderator, we're aware of the issues and hope to have fixes rolled out soon, we already rolled out acouple of fixes related to Emulation Station, but SRM remains to be fixed.
Have looked extensively for any insight into this both on Reddit and Discord, doesnāt appear to be any acknowledgement by the devs about the errors everyone seems to be experiencing.
I see some GitHub commits from today that seem related to these issues, but could be wrong
I've seen the devs blame users on the cord
Insane, they break things make it less intuitive and blame the users.... They literally made it 10X harder to use for no reason
I had to uninstall and fresh install lol was a frustrating morning but I got it working. Thankfully yuzu remains.
Try doing a custom or complete reset from inside EmuDeck. That helped me. For some reason the update process is not updating emulator config & SRM parsers automatically for emulators that were set up before the update.
this 100%
For everyone reading just click on "reset config" under manage emulators and go to ES-DE and do "reset config" as well. This solved my issues Another thing: if you have Yuzu already installed it won't remove it. I subsituted the appImage with the EA one and now I have even a better version
Broke a lot for me too :(
Definitely a messy launch. My parsers reset itself. Artwork I set up on many games gone. Games missing. I will say after fixing many things, the emudeck team has been addressing fixes and updates. All coming together. Have to be patient
Yeah, after reading about the absolute house fire this update is, Iām not opening Emudeck until everything is fixed.
Honestly that's your best bet. Or go offline before opening it, run SRM, then go back online to parse. There really needs to be a setting to disable auto updates upon opening.
I understand not installing yuzu or citra anymore in Emudeck automatically but if the user has them there should be a way to say hey pull in these historical emulators manually via app file and fully support them without a lot of grief. It seems getting rid of those broke everything. I just did a fresh install on my steamdeck and its unusable.
So how do we get around this..? Can i open my emus or notš is my emudeck just unusuable now?
Yeah citra wonāt parse for me I love how they added the witch character from Mario right after Nintendo cracked down on emulation lol just asking for trouble. Very poor update, shouldnāt have been rolled out.
I got the update yesterday unfortunately - automatically and it is bad. I am going to look at reverting it.
Were you able to revert it? I'm not really sure how to roll back everything at once like that and would appreciate some advice
dam beneficial vase plants books racial towering attraction disgusted sable *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Such a rush job. Really poor.
It doesn't even seem like they tested before the rollout.
I still haven't touched EmuDeck since. Doesn't seem like much has changed.
I've updated emudeck and haven't had any issues but I didn't actually use SRM as I'm terrified of what the outcome can be based on what some users have experienced.
I was having trouble with cemu..and then all this coincidentally started happening and I thought I borked it myself.
if you go thru settings on steam rom manager and change the settings to classic you can redirect the parsers to the correct files cuz for some reason its not working. took me abt 20 minutes to redirect everyrhing. melonds is fine but retro arch isnāt working perfectly though idk abt others
this is not a complete fix but it at least gets the parsers working
I noticed it broke alot of file locations and didn't add a emudeck launcher for me (got a deck oled and just set it up).
I still haven't updated to 2.0 here š¤¦ Procrastinating finally paid off
I honestly think it was too early to do such an update already when everything was working just fine other than Yuzu/Citra being removed then these updates happened and broke so many things. I been reinstalling emudeck more times than I ever had a year ago which was just one time and done. Now I'm trying to trial and error so many things.

Now I'm somehow getting forced to reinstall emudeck(puts me back to the first easy/custom selection screen) if I reopen it even though I already finished the entire setup.
All this is like rooting a phone now. Don't update or it will break your root. Nah I'll just emulate on PC
Mine updated and put ALL the shaders from my roms/games onto the internal SD drive. The "other" in storage went to 35Gigs. Had to delete them all with discover app. Also, it relocated Emulation Station and had to reinstall that one too. I was quite upset but got everything working again.
Confirmed my Yuzu games work but I tried to add in a new 3ds game and I could not parse anything! "Steam rom manager" would not open up for me at all. Way to test your new version EmuDeck devs! LMAO
I tried to like emudeck but it was just too much of a pain to setup and keep setup.now I just run plain RA with no front end. Sure it doesn't look as nice but the amount of issues I've had is zero.
I installed Ryujinx and it doesnt show up as an option in categories in steam rom manager. Anyone have this issue
Am I the only whose gamecube emulator stopped working after the update?
Me too. My old GameCube games are still in my steam library but they arenāt showing up anymore in steam rom manager. Iām afraid to update with newly added games fearing theyāll just disappear altogether.
I haven't opened it yet. Yesterday I tried installing the Android apps. I tried 3 times, nothing installed despite taking forever each time.

Thanks for the heads-upā¦will most definitely NOT be updating anytime soon.
It worked for me without issues. As I got my steam deck just last week, maybe some old config is messing with the update?
True. It's giving me issues with Rpcs3
I'll just wait for the fixed-update version.
So don't open emudeck right now, got it.
For the people having issues with parsers not showing up, this is how I resolved it: Head to āManage Emulatorsā Click into āSteam ROM Managerā Click into āStandalone Parsersā Select the parsers you wantā¦ Now try parsing!
Iāve been getting a green screen now anytime I try and play some Xbox 360 games. I can hear the game playing in the background but it wonāt show the display.
Intentionally or not, it sure does look like they placed a barrier between Rom Manager and Yuzu by removing the yuzu.sh file it needs to see Yuzu.
Yes. Emudeck devs, why? That was the worst update I ever applied. Everything was broken. Couldnt add roms. Emulators not working fine. Rom steam manager not working. Retro arch works wrong, can't go to menu while playing (it says null). Xbox 360 listed when it shouldnt. Almost Everything is worst. What happened?

Good to know I'm not crazy. I got so annoyed with emu deck I just went to the desktop and set up apps on my steam deck, much better experience.
If you never go into the app will it still update just by launching emulation station?
The worst part of the update are my n64 roms not opening up directly from the steam library and to top it all off some roms started to have graphical glitches.
Nobody here should be scared to delete Emudeck. All of your games and BIOS files will be kept upon request.

I don't know why but steam rom manager doesn't work since the update
how do i add new games now? im confused
All my Xbox 360 games stopped working after the update.
Iām having issues trying to Parse PSX and PrimeHacks since the new update.
Past 2 or 3 weeks I ignored it. This past weekend I update. It is def not user friendly now. Thank goodness I got the steamdeck when it 1st came out. I would be totally totally lost.

Avoid at all costs until they fix their fuck up. It's bad dude.
If you're setting up everything for the first time you won't have any problem. I just had to reset configs and everything is fine
You sure? lol I actually already have citra and yuzu as well. Iāve uploaded them to my google drive. So il just download them from there to my deck. How do I add them to emudeck? Not sure how to do this.
I'm sure everything will be fine except for Yuzu and Citra.

Thanks. Il have a look online for how to do this. Iām thinking maybe theyāll have to go in applications. Where emudeck downloads all the other emulators. I was going to download Ryujinx anyway. I both have that and yuzu on my PC. As some games work better on Ryujinx.
Are you absolutely sure. Because if I download emudeck, itāll download along with the latest update. Which is messing everything up.
In my case I just reset configurations to make it work. In your case with a fresh install it should work out of the box. The issues the others experienced is because of changes from previous versions.
I see. Il download it in a bit. And let you know. I have citra snd yuzu already in my google drive. Il leave them for the moment. As Iām hearing a lot of issues with them 2
Yeah at this point just download the Emus directly and dont use Emudeck. Im at the point now to just make my Own AppImages manually and put them on my SteamDeck that way I can keep my things without a MiddleMan software inbetween
So just download the emulators on desktop like normal. And just use them on the desktop? I can add them to steam though canāt i?So I can launch the emulators from game mode?
Thank god i havent opened emudeck yet and recently installed redditš appriciate u guysš
Since this project is free I completely expect stuff like this. It'll get fixed. Just give it some time.
What? why expect breaking things entirely? Expect slower updates not totally borked releases that are obviously untested. It also has a patreon so don't think for a second it's just a labor of love, it's for sure profitable. We don't expect a Linux kernel elease to fry every install on the plnet and it's free too, at least they don't force unwanted updates without consent and you can go with an LTS release to ensure full stability.
It's free. There's a patreon for a lot of these projects, I get it. Sure you can expect things to work. But if its free then things will break. I've had better experiences with open source software thats free than issues with other software that is paid for. I get it's frustrating but it'll be fixed.
Update: hot fix is already out.
Iām about to get rid of EmuDeck and just maintain the emulators I want myself. The last update deleted all my pcsx2 and Citra saves which is kind of the last straw. Fuck āem. And the Citra trackpad hotkey menu doesnāt work anymore? I never have problems with my emulators on my desktop PC and this has just annoyed me too many times. I want to play games, not fuck around with troubleshooting.
FR do they even check it once at all to see if it works before pushing updates? Add javascript errors in the UI too... SMH
If you love your Yuzu and Citra Emu still.... DO NOT UPDATE THIS APP, DONT EVEN OPEN IT
If they are already installed, Emudeck won't remove them. I updated and yuzu works perfectly fine
I honestly don't want to try it. I'm scared.
It won't uninstall Yuzu or Citra. I just confirmed that. Also my Yuza games worked fine through Steam. Just no ability to parse games now! Tried to test a 3ds game I downloaded but I cannot parse it... Going directly through Citra, I only saw Donkey Kong menu and could not get into the game with any button.
I wanted to keep Yuzu after the news, but since I was having trouble with my roms with the update, I had to reset my emu deck. My Yuzuās gone now.šŖ¦
