Loved your video. Your tutorial is clear and precise for each step! Others leave off crucial steps that you cover like CIA encrypted formats, 3DS controller layout, and fast forward. Thank you! Keep up the awesome tutorials! Looking forward to your PSVita & PS2 tutorial videos! Why does your touch pad on your Steam Deck move so smooth? I can't hardly use mine cause it moves too fast. I have to plug a mouse in. 🤷‍♂️

Hi thanks for the video, a couple of comments, you can adjust the taskbar on the steam deck to allow applications to go 'over' it, they may help you not have to switch the resolution of the steam deck. Additionally, what I was looking for was optimal performance settings using power tools and citra, it appears you may not be using them at all(?)

So I'm trying to follow this and so far everything has worked but the decrypting process. I've put my 3DS games intot he folder, run the batch file and it just doesn't decrypt them? Am I missing something?

[@Marco_Ak]

I have Dragon Quest 8 undub, CIA version. I decrypted it, and works fine in Desktop mode, but when I click Parse, after Preview, Steam Rom Manager says "1 User Configuration(s) was/were skipped (invalid)." so I can't have it in Gaming Mode. IDK, maybe because it's an edited version of the rom?

I don’t think so try to reset your emulator configuration in EmuDeck. This is an issue with EmuDeck.

Okay so I have a problem with Citra on Steam Deck through Emudeck. Whe I quit a 3DS game in game mode it may sometimes reboot my Deck. Why is it doing this?

My Steam library has 1 card for Emulation Station, rather than all roms like your setup. I'm trying to play Donkey Kong 3D and it's very slow. I wondered if there was a dedicated 2DS emulator so that 3DS games aren't trying to process the extra camera angle that creates the illusion, but can't find anything. What can I do to optimize performance for 3DS games that won't be played in 3D?

Is the Vulcan version of Citra not yet available through Emudeck? Mine just says OpenGL at the bottom.

I never realized that. If vulkan is not available then the EmuDeck just grabbed the OpenGL version I guess.

Hi EDT4 or anyone who can answer my small doubt, do you know if the overall games run better on the micro SD card or if I install emuDeck on the disk of my steam deck? or the performance is same in both? just would like to confirm!

The performance is exactly the same i would say. I prefer to install it on an SD card so if you need to upgrade to OLED Deck or maybe deck 2 in the future it will be easier to move stuff over.

Thanks. You need pc to do the cia decrypting. Or you can try to get 3ds format if possible.

I did the same steps shown for Fast Forwarding but my game is locked into high speeds with the toggle not working. Anyone else have that happen?

[@ED4T]

if you follow every single step I show it should work with no issue. make sure your shortcut key is correct inside of the emulator double check that. Also, check your individual game setting to see if your game was set to fast-forward speed by default.

[@ImBaeg]

@ED4T wow, thank you for the quick reply. I did tweaks on my own, and at 14:41 when you unthrottle the speed I changed the drop down back to "Use Global" or whatever it's listed as. Besides that minor change, I did everything exactly the same (keybind R-stick to 1) and it toggles flawlessly in game. I'm thinking maybe changing individual games emulation speed may not be necessary? Not sure on that though

[@ImBaeg]

@ED4T I can't thank you enough for these guides though. This one and the PS3 in particular helped me tremendously. I really appreciate it!

Man, I COPIED this, and I still get " Your ROM is encrypted. Please follow the guides to resume your game cartridges or installed titles." And then it shows me the games are in "invalid region". IDK what that means, I copied the roms and pasted them into emulation oms\3ds. Im new to emulation and I been doing step by step guides from 3 different vids, this is so annoying :(
