[MEGATHREAD] - Steam Deck All Tools/Setup Guides
INSTALLATION: To install this software go to dragoonDorise/EmuDeck: Emulator configurator for Steam Deck (github.com) or EmuDeck - Emulators on Steam Deck, SteamOS , Rog Ally and Windows to download the software. If it downloads to the downloads folder, make sure you move it to the desktop in order to run it. When it runs it may ask for a sudo password and if not then just follow the on-screen instructions it's pretty simplified so no need for additional walkthrough.

Help! I installed emudeck but I think I did something wrong
My thoughts after reading your post: 1- Go to steam desktop mode and reinstall emudeck. It will take a few minutes and you will be sure that installation is ok. 2- You can find the extension of the roms that can be read by Emulation Station in this post: https://github.com/dragoonDorise/EmuDeck as a rule of thumb older games can be left zipped while newer need to be unzipped. Good to check in any case. 3- You can follow another tutorial, but the one of retro game corps is the one I followed and it worked... Please, let us know how it goes.

If you check out the CUP Project: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/194 it's within that scope. So we are working on it, it's not an easy task and part one of CUP is "completed" (as a first version) now in 0.7b.
