00:00:15
as shown on the screen so you can easily
00:00:18
skip to the chapter in which you are
00:00:20
interested in I am currently working on
00:00:23
Nintendo switch emulator tutorial like
00:00:25
this one and I will try to do in-depth
00:00:28
tutorials for all the major emulators if
00:00:31
you are interested in this type of
00:00:33
content please don't forget to subscribe
00:00:35
to the channel now let's get started
00:00:38
with the video emulator
00:00:40
foreign
00:00:42
[Music]
00:00:44
the email back installation is pretty
00:00:46
easy I will quickly explain the
00:00:48
installation process here I will only
00:00:50
cover the email deck video emulation in
00:00:53
this video first we need to switch to
00:00:55
desktop mode on Steam deck from desktop
00:00:58
mode use your Firefox Internet browser
00:01:00
and go to email deck official website I
00:01:03
have the email deck linked in my video
00:01:05
description from this website we can
00:01:08
directly download the email deck
00:01:10
installation file once it is downloaded
00:01:12
we can click showing folder we need to
00:01:15
copy the email deck installation file
00:01:17
onto our desktop in order to process
00:01:20
this installation and this is mandatory
00:01:23
then we can double click on the email
00:01:25
deck installer from the desktop click
00:01:28
continue on this pop-up window to
00:01:30
confirm this installation let's select
00:01:33
the custom mode here which will give us
00:01:35
more options to set up the email deck
00:01:37
then click continue I highly recommend
00:01:40
to use SD card for your emulation games
00:01:42
even with even type SD card it works
00:01:46
perfect with email decks so we will pick
00:01:49
SD card as storage here on this page
00:01:52
obviously we need select steam deck on
00:01:55
this screen it shows all emulators that
00:01:57
are currently supported by email deck I
00:02:00
will disable all the emulators except
00:02:03
for the CMU since I will only cover Vu
00:02:05
emulation in this video but you can
00:02:07
always come back to this page and
00:02:09
install any emulators that you like
00:02:12
later on I will leave everything on for
00:02:14
this page since email deck has already
00:02:16
done all the configurations so we can
00:02:19
take advantage of this I don't want to
00:02:21
be a member of retro achievement so just
00:02:24
click skip here on the next couple Pages
00:02:26
you can pick any options you like it's
00:02:29
all about your personal tests for the
00:02:32
emulation game
00:02:33
I would like to set up my 3D games as
00:02:36
16x9 screen ratio and keep the 2D games
00:02:40
at 4x3 you can pick any emulation
00:02:44
station same here I personally like the
00:02:46
RB simple style then we can click finish
00:02:50
the Emu deck now starts processing all
00:02:53
the installation it will take about 2
00:02:55
minutes to complete everything here
00:02:57
after everything's done we can click
00:03:00
exit now we have complete the email deck
00:03:03
installation on the steam deck the
00:03:06
original email deck installer is now
00:03:08
changed to email deck access icon on the
00:03:11
desktop
00:03:11
[Music]
00:03:16
now it's time to copy some video games
00:03:19
onto our steam deck I have all my
00:03:21
downloaded games stored on this hard
00:03:23
drive I prefer to download all games on
00:03:26
my Windows PC and then copy them to the
00:03:29
steam deck the steam deck SD Card cannot
00:03:32
be read on the Windows PC or Mac
00:03:34
directly so use a portable hard drive or
00:03:37
a USB flash drive to transfer the game
00:03:40
from your PC to steam tank it's the
00:03:42
easiest way to do in this section I will
00:03:45
only show the RPX also it is called load
00:03:49
line file type video game this is the
00:03:52
most common video game file types that
00:03:54
can be found over the Internet let's go
00:03:57
to my external hard drive on Steam deck
00:03:59
and I have this new Super Mario Bros U
00:04:02
game on my external hard drive this is
00:04:05
the game folder if we go inside of the
00:04:08
game folder we should have three
00:04:10
subfolders which called code content and
00:04:15
meta this is the typical RPX or load
00:04:19
live video game folder structure all we
00:04:21
need to do here is to copy the video
00:04:23
game folder from the external hard drive
00:04:26
and paste into our steam deck SD card at
00:04:29
the specific file location as shown on
00:04:32
my screen let's go to the steamtech SD
00:04:35
card then click emulation folder next
00:04:38
click ROM folder then find the video
00:04:41
folder
00:04:47
[Music]
00:04:52
click romps folder this is the location
00:04:55
we need to paste the video games the
00:04:57
copying time will depend on game size
00:04:59
but it's pretty quick generally after
00:05:02
the copy is complete we can close this
00:05:05
window now the next step that I highly
00:05:08
suggest to do is download the graphic
00:05:10
packs the graphic packs will improved
00:05:13
video gaming experience it will also
00:05:16
provide game fix if it crashes or lag so
00:05:20
this is very very important to do after
00:05:22
you copy a game into steam deck to
00:05:25
download the graphic packs simply go to
00:05:27
the start menu and type cemu in the
00:05:30
search bar you should see the simu email
00:05:32
deck then click and run the simul
00:05:35
software we can see the Super Mario game
00:05:37
that we just copied to the SD card from
00:05:40
here let's go to the option and select
00:05:42
graphic packs then we need to click
00:05:45
download the latest Community graphic
00:05:47
packs from the bottom left corner this
00:05:50
will take a few seconds to finish after
00:05:52
it's done we will see the Super Mario
00:05:54
game show up on the list we can see
00:05:56
there are a couple options that we can
00:05:58
check for this game the graphic packs
00:06:01
will have different options for
00:06:03
different games so for this game we need
00:06:05
to check the title screen crash fix if
00:06:09
we did not check this box this game will
00:06:11
crash at the title screen so as I said
00:06:14
the graphic packs is so important to do
00:06:17
after you copy a video game onto your
00:06:19
steam deck now we can close the simul
00:06:21
software the last step we need to do is
00:06:24
to bring the video game that we just
00:06:26
installed into the Steam OS interface so
00:06:30
every time we put up the steam deck our
00:06:32
video game will show up in our Steam OS
00:06:35
Library
00:06:36
to do this we need to click the email
00:06:38
deck icon on the desktop and then click
00:06:41
to and stuff from here we need to select
00:06:44
steam room manager click yes for this
00:06:47
pop-up window
00:06:49
first disable the passwords otherwise
00:06:51
the email deck will scan all the game
00:06:53
rooms I recommend only to enable the
00:06:57
emulators that you are going to use and
00:07:00
disable the rest of them since we only
00:07:03
deal with video games in this video
00:07:05
so I will just scroll down and enable
00:07:08
two video game then we need to click on
00:07:11
the preview button from the top left
00:07:13
corner
00:07:14
then click generate app list from the
00:07:17
bottom of the screen we can now see the
00:07:19
Super Mario game that was previously
00:07:21
installed show up here
00:07:23
from the top menu we can change how it
00:07:26
appears
00:07:27
also we can change the game album
00:07:29
picture from here but for now we can
00:07:31
just click save app list button
00:07:34
these were created game title on our
00:07:37
Steam OS interface
00:07:39
now we can just close email deck and
00:07:42
return to the steam deck gaming mode
00:07:45
after we get into the steam deck gaming
00:07:47
mode just go to the library we will see
00:07:50
there are two new tabs show up one is
00:07:52
called collection under this tab it will
00:07:55
classify emulation games by the
00:07:57
emulation system the other tab is called
00:08:00
No steam game under this tab you will
00:08:02
see all the emulation games that have
00:08:04
been installed on the steam deck we can
00:08:07
now just start up the video game from
00:08:09
here guys we have the bu Super Mario
00:08:12
Brother running directly from Steam OS
00:08:15
interface on Steam deck the best feature
00:08:18
of the email deck in my opinion is that
00:08:21
it allows us to access all the emulation
00:08:23
games from Steam OS interface directly
00:08:26
this is just so convenient that's all
00:08:29

the next thing we should do is download
00:16:15
the graphic packs please remember do
00:16:17
this for every single video game that
00:16:20
you installed on Steam deck it helps a
00:16:22
lot just for Wii U emulation so click
00:16:25
download the latest Community graphic
00:16:27
packs then go to left side find the
00:16:30
Zelda game I highly recommend to check
00:16:32
FPS plus plus it will improve the gaming
00:16:36
performance a lot for the Zelda game
00:16:39
there are lots of options you can play
00:16:41
around here to get all different reads
00:16:43
out for this game but for now I will
00:16:46
just check the FPS plus plus and Xbox
00:16:49
controller layout we can close the CMU
00:16:52
software now then we need to go to the
00:16:54
email deck and add Zelda game into the
00:16:57
Steam OS gaming mode interface
00:17:00
so that way we can play the game
00:17:02
directly from Steam OS Library this
00:17:05
setup process is exactly same as I
00:17:08
talked in chapter 1 so I am not going to
