How to Fix Switch 2 Emulation on Steam Deck

Support my videos by downloading ControlMole! (it's free and ad-free): https://controlmole.app/ Switch 2 emulator on Steam Deck: how to set it up in EmuDeck, so your games show up in your Steam library and in EmulationStation, and how to fix the problems people keep running into. EmuDeck has no Switch 2 option yet, so this adds it by hand, and it's all very early, so expect around 20 FPS and bugs The installer: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skr... curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skr... | bash Steps: Steam button → Power → Switch to Desktop, open the Linux console, called Konsole (application menu → System) and run the line above Copy each game from your own Switch 2 into Emulation/roms/switch2 as a folder named like "Mario Kart World.ns2", with exefs and romfs right inside it Open EmuDeck → Steam ROM Manager → Add Games → Parse → Save to Steam Back in Gaming Mode, play from your library or from EmulationStation Fixes: Nothing happens when you open the AppImage: the Deck version has no menus, so start it through a game Followed my last video? Remove that shortcut, it skips the settings file and runs slower Stuck on loading: exefs and romfs have to sit right inside the game's folder (with base and updates, use the folder inside updates), and Applications/eglantine/last-run.log usually says what went wrong Pokopia stuck on Launching: the installer already sets Handheld and a 12GB memory layout. Dump still won't boot? See my Pokopia video Only found an exe: PokeDinner 2.0.0 has a Linux AppImage, you don't need Proton Keys and firmware: the Deck version needs neither with a dumped game folder The Deck freezes: hold the power button, close everything else, and make a 16 GB swap file with CryoUtilities Half the frames: SMT is off, turn it back on in PowerTools or your Decky plugin It vanished after resetting EmuDeck: run the installer again Chapters: 0:00 Switch 2 in EmuDeck 0:37 Step 1: Run the installer 1:04 Step 2: Add your games 1:31 Step 3: Add them to Steam 1:44 2:14 Fix 1: Nothing happens 2:44 Fix 2: Stuck on loading 3:17 Fix 3: An exe, or asking for keys 3:38 Fix 4: The Deck freezes 3:51 Fix 5: Half the frames 4:14 Fix 6: It disappeared Download these: Links Eglantine for Steam Deck, by Miguel Serna: https://github.com/MFS-code/Eglantine...
