Can I ask how you're getting those gorgeous borders at 2:50? I can't find them in the setup.

[@TechDweeb]

They were built into EmuDeck. Just enable them in the EmuDeck settings (that you can launch from desktop mode). Alternatively you could enable them in Retroarch under the 'overlays' option of the quick menu, however whatever you change there will probably be overwritten by your EmuDeck settings.

Can you download on steamdeck or do you need a pc or external drive

Did you know about the Retroid Pocket 2S Metal version

[@L3tThereBeGames]

I have to say this is much more convenient, I had my batocera setup on an external drive with all my favourite games but the constant switching between steamos and batocera was the worst part about it, and sometimes the boot menu didn't even show up, and I had to do it all over again, this definitely is a game changer.

"Nothing is happening when I run the installer when downloading it from the website. I start it with Konsole and it says installing but nothing ever happens." Is what I was going to say until I got the installer/download window with "Download Speed: 0" come up on the fourth try and 15 minutes of searching. But it closed as I was typing and nothing happened. Now I'm trying a fifth time and even the network monitor says next to nothing is happening. Any help months later?

[@FelixUmbra]

After 5 minutes of MORE searching, I found nothing. But it did decide to start the download. I guess for anyone having this problem, Patience might just be the key. It's silly.

So you need to have games on a hard drive already. How do people have 20 year old games on a hard drive just waiting for this moment? I installed the emudeck thinking I could access a game library there but this is not the case?

[@thelittlebeefcake4831]

@@yourdealer5522 how do I do that. I’m not very tech savvy as you can probably imagine. The previous commenter pointed that out very obnoxiously. So do you have to purchase them online somewhere?

[@yourdealer5522]

@@thelittlebeefcake4831 Sorry, that wasn’t cool of me. These games are no longer purchasable from Nintendo, so you need to download the roms from a website (which is free). The safest ones I know are romsfun and emulatorgames. Be careful when downloading from rom websites because some websites give roms with viruses. I encourage watching more videos on emulators to get a better feel for it. Have a good day. Let me know if you’re having trouble with it.

[@Dia_duit]

@@thelittlebeefcake4831 no, but seriously it is illegal to pirate these games. That's why emulators don't come with them preinstalled. There have been individuals who have been sued for pirating games but usually, it's because they are selling pirated games. Just don't be stupid and use a VPN when pirating. You should be fine.

@Conici_AU it's really not when it comes to people who are entirely new to emulation. Tons of people are console gamers who are looking into it for the first time after being unable to find a retro game they want, or when they discover emulation is a thing when they don't want to spend $150 or more for a refurbished old game console to play the classics and were looking for alternatives
