Video Description

Here's an updated starter guide for setting up emulation on the Steam Deck using a handy tool called EmuDeck. This will download, install, and configure all of your emulators at once -- and you can integrate your favorite retro games directly in your SteamOS interface! Written guide: https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/10/16/steam-deck-emulation-starter-guide/ EmuDeck page: https://www.emudeck.com/ EmuDeck wiki: https://manual.emudeck.com/ Also check out RetroDeck: https://youtu.be/bXS00Wcbwt4 ** Note: the reason why EmuDecky didn't properly install in this video is because I needed to restart my Steam Deck after installing it. Easy fix!
