Issue : Steam Rom Manager doesn't create Collections? (Patreon)

EDIT: The SRM devs seem to be on vacation :D, so I've forked SRM and added it to the EmuDeck installer temporarily so my fork is used instead of the official release, reinstalling SRM from EmuDeck -> Manage Emulators finally fixes the issue, when they update it's branch SRM will autoupdate back to their official release.

There's currently an issue in the latest Steam Rom Manager release that prevents Collections to be created, we've submitted a Pull request to the SRM repository : https://github.com/SteamGridDB/steam-rom-manager/pull/775

As soon as that is approved and merged the issue will be resolved, until then we recommend launching Steam Rom Manager directly instead of from the EmuDeck App.

Steam Rom Manager paths:

Linux -> Emulation/tools/Steam ROM Manager.AppImage
Windows -> Emulation/tools/srm.exe

Doriyaah!

Is running it from the app image/exe a guaranteed thing? It didn't really work for me when I did that a month ago. I ended up just adding games to collections one by one

Hey there! I don't know if it's related, but when I open the app directly, I still cannot update categories. Even if I use the Steam ROM Manager from GitHub, it doesn't work, saying "cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'filter')".

Not sure if there has been a post about it prior but the launchers for azahar doesn't work few others either on windows but im not home to look them up and can edit later. Like you hit play in steam for azahar, it boots up the powershell launcher and then closes immediately. Not sure if it's related to srm

Not sure where to leave this but the SRM issue has been longstanding. I've not once had success on my claw a1m and on bazzite I've had to reinstall SRM a few times across both amd and Nvidia builds. It would be cool if it didn't happen but it's easy enough to fix and such a small caveat to what I consider the greatest piece of software ever created. This may be a different issue as it relates to not finding parsers.

Try reinstalling SRM from within emudeck

Trigold Forsuto

Ok I just tried that, but it keeps telling me "SRM uninstall failed"

Trigold Forsuto

I tried formatting my steam deck and it worked at first but then steam updated. Making the error happen

EmuDeck

what's the exact issue? you don't have parsers?

EmuDeck

are you on the stable release or beta?

EmuDeck

Should be, we'll double check tomorrow!

Trigold Forsuto

Ok got it to work, had to delete all of my collections.

Any movement on the broken cloud save config during initial setup in the Early Access emudeck client? Post-OS 3.7 the emudeck installer doesnt seem to see installed chromium based browsers and keeps opening Discovery requesting to install Firefox (even though it's already installed). Because of this the service never gets initialized. This was reported last few months but people werent sure if it was being held for the v2.9/v3.0 release.

EmuDeck

Please always post issues on the Discord Issues channels, comments here are not a proper place to do that since I can miss them! We are working on fixing that it too

Joeystick

Pretty much yes. For a while no matter what I install it on psrsers never appear like they use to, at least for me. This include a windows Nvidia windows laptop, Bazzite, or my amd windows desktop

Brian Russell

If on Linux you can use the SRM from Bazzar, if on windows (or Linux) you can repair by going into like manage emulators I think... Selecting steam rom manager and then either resetting or reinstalling. EDIT: I think they fixed it.

EmuDeck

Don't use SRM from Discover / Bazzar. It's not official and chances its outdated are big
