The easy mode version is great if you’re low on time and don’t really care about tailoring the experience, whereas custom mode lets you fine-tune everything to your liking. The first choice EmuDeck offers is whether you want to do an Easy or a Custom installation. Don’t panic.Īfter a few seconds, you’ll be thrust into the main EmuDeck installer program. This is EmuDeck working with the Linux operating system. The next screen you’ll see will appear (pictured above). Click with the right trigger on Continue and the EmuDeck installation process will begin. Click on Execute and the installer will boot up.Īfter the file launches, you’ll then be asked what you want to do with it. Next, open up the Dolphin File Explorer (the blue folder icon used to access folders).Ĭlick with the right trigger on Downloads in the left sidebar and inside you should spot the EmuDeck installer file we just downloaded.Ĭlick on the EmuDeck installer file with the right trigger twice to launch it. Click on that once with the right trigger and the EmuDeck installer will download to the Steam Deck. Around halfway down is a big Download button. Scroll down the page by grabbing the bar on the right side of the screen with the right trigger. Once your Internet browser is installed, open it up and go to the EmuDeck Homepage.

I used Chrome for this guide and it’s much, much easier than downloading the file on a PC and transferring it over. If you don’t have one yet, grab Chrome or Firefox from the Discover Store (the blue shopping bag icon). It’s a simple process but you’re going to need a web browser installed. Next we need to download the main EmuDeck installer. From here, click with the right trigger or with your finger on Switch to Desktop.Īfter a few seconds the Steam Deck will boot into the Desktop Mode.

To do this, load up the Steam Deck as usual, when it’s on the main home screen – known as Gaming Mode – hold down the Power Button until the menu above pops up. Let’s start this one off as most of my guides do: Boot into Desktop Mode.
