Steam Deck: The Ultimate EmuDeck Beginner's Guide v3 (EmuDeck 3.x / ES-DE 3.x / Missing Emus)
351v3 Update: Complete with new EmuDeck 3.x and Emulation Station 3.x and new techniques!
I've been asked many times - despite the plethora of EmuDeck videos on youTube - to do a complete beginner's guide to installing, configuring and using EmuDeck.
I did it - but it is already out of date with new versions replacing the old.
Well, here it is. I'll take you through all the features, help you set up "the hard parts" and give you some insight on the tool. As usual we'll "teach" as we "do" - and once you're done with this video - you'll be ready to tackle almost anything within EmuDeck's framework.
Yes, we're going to show you how to "put back in" those recently "removed" Ninty emulators as well.
