Thanks for watching! Let me know what retro games you are playing right now. Also, let me know if you have thought on how I can improve my content and any suggestions for future videos!!

Awesome video man. Almost no other channels go into detail about the bios files only mentioning how to find games which is pretty straight forward, but usually leave out bios files

if an old game isn’t available to purchase or stream then it shouldn’t be illegal to download them.

Thank you so much for going in detail on what to do. I've had my steam deck for days searching the internet for tips! I've subscribed as well!

Thank you so much for this video. Exactly the information I was looking for and explained amazingly!!

Thank you! I was messing with the BIOS files for ages but it was the game that was in a zip file and needed extracted!

Saw this couple weeks before my deck arrived just so ik how to operate it and this has helped the hassle of not getting them to work, great vid!!

This literally what I’ve been looking for and EVERY videos are unable to provide. Thank you sir!

BRO THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH! I got my deck yesterday night and I was up til 2 am last night trying to figure this out and gave up and went to bed pissed. I wake up this am and this is the first vid I see that helps me😂 🙏🏾🙏🏾

The only tutorial who helps you with the Bios files, thank you very much!

Awesome brother just got done downloading emudeck yesterday and getting ready to download the rest today and this video was helpful just in case I run into any problems. Subscribed and liked! Cheers

Thanks. Yea no one video I saw was clear over whether you needed to organize the bios and Roms into subfolders. Saves me a lot of guessing work

Thanks so much for this. I’m about to start playing on my emudeck but overwhelmed with this iso and bios linggo and where to place them. More so with where to research and “acquire them” in the first place! Thank you!

Thanks for confirming this approach. I thought this was the issue but i was reluctant on extracting the files from the 7zip folders when some of the other Bios 7zip folders worked while in the zip folders. Thanks!

U saved me man it was takin me hours to try things to make it work , you came in clutch 🤙🏻

Bro you help me so much with this thank you and couldn’t use my usb for some reason but I just downloaded everything on the internet on steam deck thank you again

Bro really had Barbie horse rescue... Hilarious. Great vid

Didn't work at first because i made a ps2 bios folder, your video helped me a lot, thank you !

thanks! this is the answer i needed! fingers crossed it all works now

Life saver buddy. Only vid i came across that told me about BIOS stuff. Thank you.

Mannnn your a life saver for us old guys 😂😂😂… no one spoke about bios or where to put them or any of that… thanks man!

OMGOSH, thank you so much. I had no issued with GBA. I guess cause it’s so small and older tech. But I couldn’t even get Dreamcast to open, and PS3 wouldn’t even show up on my list. I had all but given up. But now everything works.🎉 I’m sure I made too many copies, but I don’t care LOL I was not going to rebuy all my games, yet again. Thank you, and good energies your way :D

You should use the steam rom manager to move your emulation games out of desktop mode. It looks much more visually pleasing and you can select your own artwork for the roms also. Makes the whole UI look way better.

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I did everything pretty much as they said but because I didn't do it from a USB or SD it make it a little complicated. I downloaded everything including roms directly from the deck so I had to manually put everything in their right files. I had the roms in the right place but didn't add the bios. Once I did as you did it worked great thank you 🙏🏼

do more of this!! this is amazing

Dude thank you so much got my steam deck been wanting to play emulated games couldn’t figure it out and every other video just skipped past this little detail.

THANK YOU! I'm the tech guy in the family, but I've never messed with emulators and this was driving me insane! So simple!

This completely makes sense! But I have never used this operating system so I didn’t even think to try this. Didn’t even realize they were zip files. Thanks man, you are my hero

thanks man I was able to get emudeck working thanks to your video!

You are the MVP...I truly needed this video

Thanks for the help! I’ve got it working now!!

Thank you. This is where I hit a wall last night. Tried to figure it out til 1am and gave up. Inspired to give it another try today lol

Thank you. This was the exact video I needed

Thank you so much. This is a saving grace. Now I can finally play Kinetica.

Thank you very much you explained this very well I been looking for days how to download bios and rom

A million thanks friend.. I had the same issue until I followed your steps..👍👍👍👍👍

Life saver!! Thanks for the video

You sir, saved me from throwing my Steam deck out the window - I was so angry with my purchase for weeks until I watched this in a last hope. You’re a legend!

Thanks for the help it finally worked

Thank you so much, I didnt realize you had to take it out

Thank you for this!

You saved me by almost breaking my deck I couldn't of figured it with out this video thx

Worked perfectly thanks

Wow, you are a God send. Thankyou!

You are awesome! Thank you!

Thanks a million. Saved me hours of work. Most other videos are useless.

This will be useful for when i get my steam deck in December

Niiiiiiiiiice man, I was having the same issues. BIOS on folders not loading correctly.

thank u bro been wanting to play barbie for a long time

I hav been askin these priks on here for over a week for help! Just because i bought a preloaded sd card,. They seemed butt hurt and every answer was aw no we ain’t helping unless u erase and start fr scratch,. Whats it matter where u get roms from? However you helped me out and i really appreciate that,. I had the steamdeck playing retro games within the hour, thanks to your knowledge,. Many thx bruthr,. U a cool myh’fuka in my book,. U got balls to post vids no one else would,. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Great information, I was loosing my mind trying to get things like ps1, saturn and other newer systems up and running, Japanese ps1 games game me bios issues, I guess it defaults to a NTSC-U bios but I'm going to get pal & NTSC-J bios files now and drop em' in the folder

Thank really appreciate it all done now top g

I wish I could "like" this twice. Well-done.

Bro you are a godsend, mines arrives in a few hours and even though I was sure this was how it worked. You helped reinforce it!

Thank you sir !

The fact that emudeck doesn't download a bios for duckstation seems like a massive oversight to me. I spent the past hour looking everywhere for why it wouldn't work

I'm waiting on my steam deck.. But something is telling me I'm gonna really need this video

Thanks I’ve been having trouble with bios files used to be into Roms when I was a kid but I don’t remember bios files try some of this later

Yeah, it took me so long to get all the roms and transfer them to an sd then get them to work. My entire rom collection was on an old computer so I had to start from scratch. Days later I have it all working

So is there a video on running pc games iso’s on a steam deck as I’ve still got my pc games ISO’s that I made back in the early 2000s so I could patch them to run without using the games cd or dvd every time and now that this marvel has been made I can hopefully play all my old pc games like hit an agent 47 and dues ex on a handheld device while sitting on the couch instead of a desk chair in front of a pc screen

Amazing video brotha. I'm still having problems man lol absolutely horrible how much time I've spent all together trying to get the 2 stupid ps2 games I have on there to work on my steam deck 😫😫

This is the most useful tutorial because the majority of jackasses just said throw the bios the bios folder. Yuzu doesn't even use bios, and I don't even know where to put bios for Retroarch. Most of the Emudeck guide on UKposts are basically useless.

I don’t get it. I am stuck in the part where I have to transfer the Playsattion 2 bios folder. I just don’t see that same folder anywhere in that section so I can’t do it. Edit: Actually neverrmind I found the folder that I need it. But unfortunately I continue it doing what you said and it doesn’t work still. It does tell me that I have the bios well now but for some reason the screen just ends up black and nothing shows up.

thannkk you! yes guys this does work

This is NEW INFORMATION! I cannot wait to go home and see if I can get GTA3 and other games from my youth to run. I'm crossing my fingers, I will be back with results! Also, I laughed a good one at the Barbie game LOL

I feel so stupid, I literally did everything for the BIOS expect this.... thanks for the help lol

I've got the Bios and roms installed... but haven't figured out how to get the emu deck to run in gaming mode! LOL. Would be easier to figure out but the WiFi at my place I live? Steam deck auto-kicks itself off. Questionable internet connection with MY Motel. But I think I figured out the problem and just need to go to public access with a 'clean' internet connection to get the LAST step done which is to set up Emu deck to run in GAME MODE...

Thanks man

The only one I'm confused about is dreamcast games, because they come in several files, do I need to dump the whole folder or just the files inside because audio tracks can be named they same thing across different games.

Thank you!

How would I get roms into the game system files? I'm having huge trouble with that.

Finally a bro, thank you

I think I'll need the video later, that's why it's coming to my playlist I have no idea about BIOS or ROMs and how it all works... Especially not under Linux

Jesus Christ the answer was there the whole time. Thank you bro

This video helped the most, thank you buddy, any tips on the ps3 bios and roms specifically?

I have everything set up right but 4 some reason it just is a black screen and doesn’t actually load the game. Bouta just give up and go back to using it on my pc cause I have no idea what’s wrong wit it

Can I put all the bios in from every system in the same bios file ?

YOU ROCK!!

I'm confused and they don't make this really clear. Some system bios, like the ds bios has several files. Do you just dump all them files into the bios folder and mix them up with other system bios, that may also have several files? So no putting them in separate folders.. just dump the lot in one messy bios folder? my PS2 bios have a ton of files. Which ones do you use? all of them and let the emulator use what it wants? aaarggh also, does emu-deck use .7z files or do you have to unzip them?

How do you get the games to fully work... when I load up a game it gets to the loading screen and hangs there

I’ve been losing frames and have graphical issues with Barbie Horse Adventures - Wild Horse Rescue. Any tips for a fellow Barbie Horse Adventures game lover?

I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. If I boot up in game mode, it stays on the steam deck load screen; it’ll boot up in desktop steam mode, but with problems (like won’t let me exit out of the game unless I force shut down the deck).

after you put roms file where it needs to be do you still need the folder it was extracted from?

I dtried doing what u said but on EMUDECK says im missing bios for Nes, sega saturn, ps1,ps2 ,. Where how do i get bios for roms i have,. I bought sd card fr amazon,. Batocera and it stopped working after couple days.. makes sence now, bios is missing,. No wonder phuaqr wont play,. Idk where to find bios now🙄,. I am such fool at this but i luv my retro games,. Good times/memories,..

quietCavan! what if everything was presume to be install correctly! i check my ps2 bios which were added and roms were added and extracted but somehow the game loads then the screen goes black? any idea what can be the problem?

What do you need for PS3 files to properly play? I added the pup dat. file and then when I try to play games it will start the "PPU Module Upload" Screen and then go to black screen but nothing after that.

Are you able to do a video for us newbies on how to get games running from sd card without a separate computer? I have batocera, and a sd card with emulated games, and I can’t get the bios/roms working.

Emulation noob here. I just downloaded my EmuDeck now and already have some ROMs transferred in the folders. When I run Emulation Station, it says "Couldn't find emulator core files". Does that mean the problem is I don't have BIOS?

When I go into the steam rom manager to do the parsers it like freezes I can’t click anything or close any tabs out any ideas?

Gutted still don’t work for me, I extracted my files but I still can’t run it. Also what is the emulation station? I have something called emudeck? I also downloaded PCSX2 on my steam desktop hoping I could just use it like that but when I go back into steam home and click on my pcsx2 emulator it still say “I don’t have the bios?!” But I got the file in the bios folders and the rom files in the Rom folder under the ps2 folder. I’ve spent 2 days on it and still no closer :(

So if I need bios for another system do I just drop it into the same bios file along with the ps2 one. It would be hella cluttered I think

How do I know what files I’m dealing with? I downloaded a Rom link & got two files. Are they the rom & bios because I can only compress the files I’m not sure what to do with them? The game appears but it won’t launch currently

But, with the multiple BIOS that you would need for each of the emulators, would it confuse them seeing as all of those files would be scattered about in that folder?

If there is more files in the file do u take those out to I'm trying to do wiiU games

there no video about getting Roms vs run. People do care about them running but the first thing is to find them.

Where do you find the bios to download? The web... or something already in the system I have to find..?
