Hello everyone!It's been a while since our last update, we are currently working in several QOL improvements and bug fixes, specially with CloudSync both on Linux / SteamOS and Windows.

As you can see from the picture above we have revamped the whole CloudSync interface on windows, we currently have improved the sync speed when using EmulationStation by a lot, but this new update needs a lot of testing before we can release it to you.In the meantime we've created a new way to provide you quick support for the most common issues, it's in very early stages and it's pretty basic, but it will get better and better over time.You can check it out here:https://discord.com/channels/934078500552462346/1133491010618540134So what's in store for the near future?After we release EmuDeck 2.1.19 aka "QOL update" we will start working on these features:

Windows- Xenia + Xemu support out of the box.- Playnite support( thanks to a fellow patron that's developing an EmuDeck plugin. SteamOS + Windows- SteamRomManager intelligent parser selection, we will only install the parsers for the systems you are interested in playing.- Sega Model 2 & 3 Emulation SteamOS- New alternatives to RetroArch like AresLinux

- Same features as SteamOS- Better support for more Distros.MacOS- Start porting EmuDeck to the Mac, for both Intel and Apple CPUs OnionOS- CloudSync between EmuDeck & Onion OS for Miyoo handhelds.Android- Start working in a first release so testing can begin.Those are the planned features for this year 2023, but we always add new stuff that wasn't planned so stay tuned!

Problem: every time I try to launch a wii game or ds game through dolphin , launching through emu deck I get the white and black screen that stays on my monitor, whenever I alt+4 out of it, I see the game screen while closing but only after I have presssed alt+f4. Any fixes or solutions , Ty Ty 🫶🏼

EmuDeck

Where are you using EmuDeck? A windows PC? What game?

Paul Spirou

Ricardo

Latrell butler

EmuDeck

I've legit tried to join the server all weekend. Every time I click the link, I get the "no text channels" window. Also going on 15 hours of the install loop.lol

Same bro

Just subbed. Mac user who doesn't currently use EmuDec, but looking forward to a possible/eventual Mac port. OpenEmu has gotten long in the tooth with missing features, bugs, and nearly 3 years since the last update. The developers are "active," but, well, life sometimes gets in the way. So I shifted my Patreon donations to this project instead.

EmuDeck

OpenEmu is lovely, I used to have it on all my Macs but yeah...they seem to have halted development in the project :( EmuDeck  is 100% happening

DarkAngel543

Is there any possible way in a future update to add the ability to have multiple rom directories? On steam deck it's not a huge issue due to symbolic links to folders but on windows I can't get Emulation Station to point to my switch roms because they are too big to be on the same drive as all my other stuff. Would be great if this is something that could be added! Love everything else though one of my favorite emu Frontends currently.

OverlyOptimisticNerd

I'm active on Reddit and wanted to ask you a question. Can I quote you on that last part, or should I not do that since this is technically a statement for backers only? (IE, if you wanted that statement in the public, you'd make a public roadmap stating as such). Just to be 100% clear - I am not quoting you without your consent. The last public statement on a Mac port was your April 27th roadmap.

EmuDeck

Sure, no problem! Just send me the link please, to gauge how much people wants it. Will you post it on r/apple or r/macgaming?

OverlyOptimisticNerd

Macgaming. The primary Apple subreddit is somewhat emulator averse and I don't want to risk the ire of the mods. But Macgaming has had many OpenEMU posts and, a quick search shows ZERO posts about EmuDeck. Time to blow some minds :) I'll link to the post here after I've drafted it and submitted it. Want to make sure I get the right points across.

EmuDeck

I don’t know if you know but I’m a Mac user since 2008 and EmuDeck is developed on a Mac!

OverlyOptimisticNerd

I saw the comment from April :) https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/15ks7j3/emudeck_is_100_happening_direct_quote_from/? There's the link to the just-submitted thread. I'll be getting a Steam Link during its next sale (want one, but not in a hurry). Already run a Mac Studio M2 Max (39 core GPU variant). Looking forward to saves being synced between the two, if not initially, then eventually. I will be subscribing to this project and funding it for as long as it's supported. I really appreciate what you're doing!

EmuDeck

Thanks! And yes, CloudSync will be working on day one. MacOS being Unix based helps a lot :)

Mizuki

Now Emudeck is not working at all, can't open the Rom manager, I sent a report YPBFLA

EmuDeck

Send me a DM, let’s try and fix it

Wayne Erik Jarvis

Is it possible to use this to have two locations for the same system? What I'm looking to do is this: In a few days I'm looking to pick up the ROG Ally. I'd like to put a subset of my roms on the Ally and have the whole catalog on an external drive. So, when the Ally is docked I can access all games, but when undocked I can still play my favorite games on the go.

EmuDeck

Yes, that’s exactly how it will work

DarkAngel543

I had tried following this guide and when I input the command in the prompt it says symbolic links aren't supported by my device running win 11

DarkAngel543

Got it to work, needed to flip the direction the symlinks for it to work. another quick question though, is there any way to get yuzu early access on emudeck/Emulation Station for Windows?

Layne Oehrlein

Couldn't find anything regarding Primehack in the Wiki, it's neither in the Planned or Supported section for Windows. Emudeck for my ROG Ally is not installing Primehack just wondering if this is expected

EmuDeck

It's not supported yet on the Windows version

Derek Verdin

Is it possible that the team can add support for the Windows version to recognize .lnk shortcuts in the roms folder? This would be extremely helpful on portable windows devices that make use of and have their primary directory's on microSD cards. Once they are full or even if they're not, some of the later generation systems, with their bigger files need to be stored on the main system also.

Derek Verdin

I saw a previous mention, figured out how it functioned, which did take a little bit of time, did it and it worked!!! Thank you for the reply though.

optimus0

Hello i dont know if this is the place, but i have an issue with Rom Manager (windows 10), everytime that i run the parser it deletes the already added content to steam, for example i added some psx games then restart the pc and added some others roms and run the parser again and select add to steam. this process deletes the older added games

EmuDeck

Send me a DM with more details please

Dubsmachine

Why doesn't EmuDeck create app icons / shortcuts / entries in W11 Start Menu for anything it installs? On several devices I need to manually find the exe and create shortcuts for everything - please fix it.

DAVID EVANS

I joined last week, very interested in seeing sync between Windows and my Steam Deck, this is kind of a dream come true feature. It is slow, it could take 2 min to start Emulation Station on Windows while it syncs. Could it do time sync/last modified checks before downloading? This should make it faster and more accurate. Or can you think of a better and faster way to do the sync?

DAVID EVANS

Yea, I want to try this on my phone, I hate going into a few apps to play games and need to manually sync my saves to get my desktop/SteamDeck updated...

DAVID EVANS

I just joined a few day ago and when I installed it, it did create EmuDeck and EmulationStation ES short cuts in the Start menu. I personally would prefer to manage everything through EmuDeck and only open the emulators when I really need it.

DAVID EVANS

Does Start and Select close EVERY emulator? I try that on Yuzu and it does nothing...

EmuDeck

Hi, this is what we will do on next release, we first check if there's something different, and we also do uploads on the background while you place so this makes the syncing a lot faster

EmuDeck

You should have a EmuDeck folder on your Start Menu with all the Emulators & ESDE
