Great video! Trying to google this I kept getting guides for on PC. Thank you!

Hi! When you update or install the DLC you need to leave the USB in which you've the files connected at the moment of playing?

[vasilisk]

If i copy the file Yuzu keeps delete the Shader cache file and then creates a new one

[crconstandse]

You're a lifesaver. Great video!!!

[Tugennov]

Thanks for this. Oddly, when I try to do what you do, I don't see my SD card where my updates and games are installed. My only options are to search "computer" and a folder called "deck". Do you know how I go to files an my SD card? Thanks again!

[mohammedaq]

Please can you show us the vibrancy on and off on the games to see the difference?
You can find it by install shading on steam deck

[Vandius]

My file browser doesn't look like that and I can't see my USB on the left, if I navigate to MNT or mount it still won't show me my files on my USB. So I copied the update that works perfect on my desktop to the download folder on my Deck and still, Yuzu won't detect the file... It's extracted and again it's the exact file I used on my desktop to update a game. I tried coping it again and I even used a different USB and I tried redownloading the file and still Yuzu won't see ANY file (NSP and so on....).

Thanks you... Im New in this game... What do I need the shader cache for? 🤔

[scienceeater]

Great video, but when I press my left pad to right click nothing happens. Did you configure a particular command layout? Can somebody help me with it?

[inyobase]

Question, is it possible to install mtiple dlc at the same time? Like the 99 character docs for smash? One by one would be grueling lol. Bonus question, can the game be updated and dlc installed in windows bedorw transferring the updates bsp file to the deck?

[vonDichthofen]

I can not chose my microsd card to access the files to install to nand, because the whole left side with "places" "devices" and "removeable devices" is not showing in that window

[markofthedragon]

When I open Yuzu and go to File > Install file to NAND i can only see on left hand side Computers and deck i do not get a full selection like u do on yours i have a sd card installed where my roms are saved but the only way i can update them is if i put the update file in my downloads. My main game rom is in Emulation> roms > Switch. If the file is in a different location then the update file will this still update my main game?

[haytada]

Do you happen to know where Yuzu installs the update files? Don't have the Steam Deck yet, hopefully in the next few days, but I will be running roms off the microSD card and wondering if it will install the game updates on the internal drive or the microSD. Any ideas? Aware that the shader cache goes onto the internal.

can i use shader of my PC = Steam deck yuzu?

[zillaxx]

hello brother, I just installed an update for a game, do I need delete the update nsp or I should leave it?

[Squeezitgirdle]

I'm using Emudeck to have my games show up from the steam game mode, without having to go to linux desktop.
Yuzu is installed through Emudeck, but won't open on the desktop.
Likewise, I can't figure out how to get duckstation (ps1 emulator) menu to open up (changing discs / etc), as the github hotkeys do not work. Any idea on those?

[cdr_wolfie]

Hello! I'm not sure if I'll get a response
But when I try to install an update for smash bros, 13.0.0 it doesn't install, it fails. I can install the DLC, however, it doesn't affect the game when I load in, I imagine because the game isn't updated.
Ive done everything I can possibly google and try, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help might be appreciated

[MOISTxPANDAx]

Every time I try installing the update or DLC yuzu just closes

[HUYI]

i'm in desktop mode now and when i go to file, install to nand i am unable to view or select my micro sd to find the updates, it simply will not let me, all i see is computer, and deck, there is no other option, i'm unable to update any game becasue of this, can anyone help?
