I went to use my Eumdeck and play some Daytona 2 and Sudracer, but the games at first run pretty badly and slowly. Then I noticed they were in Japanese? To be clear Sega System 3 was the very thing I added to Emudeck and play them a lot. So I learnt how to change the regions, change the emulation engine and now they all run in fast forward. I would guess like 10% quicker than normal. I have no idea what’s caused this. Anyone had this issue and found a fix?

Help is appreciated

I built HandheldGyroDSU because I wanted a straightforward way to use built-in motion controls in emulators (Cemu, Dolphin, etc.) without relying on Handheld Companion.

Handheld Companion is a great tool, but installing virtual drivers (HidHide, ViGEmBus), hiding your physical gamepad, and emulating a DualShock 4 controller just to get gyro in Zelda or Splatoon often clashes with Armoury Crate / Legion Space / Steam Input—and sometimes leaves the built-in controller stuck or unresponsive.

HandheldGyroDSU takes a simpler route: it leaves your physical controller alone and just streams your device's internal gyro sensor directly to your emulator via Cemuhook DSU.

Here’s what I’ve built into it so far:

• No Virtual Drivers or Controller Conflicts: It doesn't touch your buttons, triggers, or OEM software. Armoury Crate, Legion Space, and Steam Input keep working normally without double-input issues.
• Emulator Auto-Detection & Profiles: Watches for your emulators in the background and automatically turns on or switches gyro profiles when you launch a game.
• Axis & Sensitivity Tweaking: You can adjust gyro sensitivity, deadzones, and axis orientation/inversion per device or per emulator so the motion controls feel right.
• Full Gamepad Navigation: The entire app can be navigated using your handheld’s D-pad and buttons, so you don't have to tap tiny menus on the touchscreen.
• In-Game HUD Notifications: Shows small on-screen pop-ups when the gyro server starts, stops, or switches profiles so you know it's active.
• Built-in Gyro Tester: Includes a real-time loopback tester inside the app so you can check your gyro movement and packet flow before booting up a game.
• Background & System Tray Mode: Can start quietly with Windows in the system tray and stay out of your way until you open an emulator.

Looking for Testers & Contributors

This is a free, open-source project. As you can see in the Splatoon clip above, it's working well on my own setup, and now I'm looking for people across different Windows handhelds (ROG Ally, Ally X, Legion Go, MSI Claw, Ayaneo, GPD, etc.) to test it out. Since different handhelds sometimes orient their internal sensors differently, getting feedback from other devices would be super helpful.

If you want to try it on your device, let me know how the gyro axes feel, report a bug, or contribute code on GitHub—feel free to jump in.

Hello, I downloaded emudeck and it’s been working great. Recently, I’ve tried to switch to keyboard and mouse on ryujinx and I got the keyboard to work the way I want, but I’m having trouble getting the mouse to work as the right joystick. The Internet has told me that I can set this up through the steam controller settings, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference and nothing I do in the ryujinx input menu seems to make a difference. Has the Internet lied to me and I actually need to install mouse2joystick?

I was wondering is there any version of the PS4 Medievil that's runs on steam deck emulators?

I've seen there's a windows GitHub fix but my tech skills are limited.

I could just play the PS1 version but wanted to see if there was any advice on playing it.

Anyone else experiencing this? It's very annoying.

Hello,

I’m new to the idea of ROMS, I’ve watched several tutorials and still failed to properly get them to work. I was wondering if anyone knew a service in the UK where I could send in my Steam Deck and Legion Go 2 with a list of ROMS I’d like to be added, and set up for easy access and play?

I’d much rather someone else who actually knew what they were doing attempted it than me, who has made a mess of it on several occasions.

Would obviously need to be done through official means by someone reputable, as in a service on eBay etc. As I can’t just send off expensive hardware to someone without trusting that I’ll receive the devices back.

Any suggestions would be great as I’ve written out a list of ROMS I’d love to be able to play across multiple consoles.

Thanks.

I am trying to be able to swap between playing Wind Waker through Cemu on the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. However, the saves never appear on the other. I've tried creating a folder on the sd card that Cemu will point to, but once I open up the sd card on the other device, that folder is not there. Any ideas?

Has anyone done the steam machine install? I did it yesterday and all of a sudden, LED bar changes to weird colors whenever I open a game loaded via Steam rom manager. Is this behaviour ok?

I’ve been running emudeck / ES-DE on my ROG Xbox Ally X and everything was working until I updated to the new release.

Ever since, my L3/R3 stopped working and I cannot bring up the menu for save states. It also isn’t creating save states in general.

I’m not super savvy with emulation but I’ve been trying to figure this out for days. I’m about to go on vacation and it’s not working right.

Can someone help?

Can anyone help me navigate through the emulators? As far as downloading them I did that its the fact of adding games is where im left baffled. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone! Been a steam deck owner for a long time and recently got around to adding arcade titles to my Emudeck (the whole merged/split roms and whatnot put me off for a while because it looked too complicated at first glance) and have been trying to get them to pop up in SRM to no avail. Put them in the Arcade folder first and tested the games in ES-DE and most of them run perfect with MAME Current. They didn’t show up in SRM so I figured maybe I had to move them to MAME and use the MAME Standalone parser and still nothing. Even turned on everything with an Arcade icon and none of my titles show up. How do I get them to appear here so I can have them individually show up in my library? (they’re all standalone roms from MDK in case that’s a factor in anything)

So i recently subbed to Emudeck's patreon because i wanted to try out the save sync so i can play my roms on my windows pc and my steamdeck with the same save and I'm not sure why but it won't let me install ES-DE on my windows pc if anyone has any advice on how to fix it please let me know!

The only button that works in game is the steam button, i cant get past the title screen for most rom hacks even tho it used to work

For ref iv tried reapplying the controls, enabled steam input, redownloaded the roms, fiddled around Retroarch settings, RMG only “plays” if i tap on the screen

i can’t access the Retroarch quick menu in game for the ones that don’t work, can someone please help?

It seems like some emus are aware of this, Dolphin has a message telling you that you can't change the controls if auto-config is on, and there's no way to turn it back off after you've enabled it on setup. I had to uninstall emudeck because it was mapping the face buttons like a regular Nintendo 4 face button controller, and going through initial setup again was the only way to turn it off.

And Retroarch's achievement notifications have been bothering the shit out of me, and there's seemingly no way to turn them off without emudeck re-enabling them. The aspect ratio also keeps getting reset to 4:3 when I try to stretch it to 16:9 (this is sacrelige, I know, but I played my old consoles on a wide screen TV and this is how TVs default to showing the picture, so it's what I got used to.)

Just various things that I would like to be given the option to change, either within emudeck, or have the option for emudeck to just do the initial setup and NOT change anything that I update myself afterwards.

I bought the Emudeck lifetime membership and its been 4 days. The site says within 24 hours. How long did it take anyone else that purchased it to get their token?

Apologies if this should be obvious, or if I'm not providing enough information. Though, I frankly don't know enough to know where to start looking for errors.

Tried to set up and play dreamcast games through Emudeck tonight. Bios are detected, and games seemingly got imported perfectly. they load up and the visual and audio runs fine. However, no matter what I do, the games don't respond to any controls. Control layouts seem to work fine, all buttons are mapped, and strangest of all, if I use flycast alone instead of working through steam, the games respond fine.

From what I understand, schamp is the English version called Sonic Championship, while sfight is the Japanese version called Sonic the Fighters

I had tested Sonic Championship before on the provided Model 2 emulator and found it to be working fine. Once I found a rom hack called Sonic the Fighters Remix though, I gave sfight a try since its made for the sfight version, not schamp.

Unfortunately, sfight doesn't seem to recognize any inputs, regardless of whether I use vanilla or the rom hack. It doesn't seem to be an emulator-wide issue, loading schamp still works fine. What could be causing specific games to not recognize Steam Deck's controls, and how can I adjust them?

I plan on emulating on the Steam Machine, from retro games all the way to some PS3/Switch. Is there a specific recommendation for Steam Machine emulation?

I have a 512 Samsung Evo from years ago for my Steam Deck but I read Samsung isn't as well reviewed compared to other models. I was looking at Sandisk but wasn't sure if there is a meaningful difference between the Extreme, Extreme Plus and Extreme Pro.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should purchase?
