Install DLC or Updates:

1. Open up Yuzu and select File > Install Files to NAND and navigate to wherever you stored your DLC/update files.
2. DLC/updates should be in NSP format this is just for best result.
3. DO NOT save DLC & Updates files under Emulation/roms/switch. otherwise, it will show up as additional game files in Steam ROM Manger (save DLC & Update Files somewhere else on your Steam Deck SD Card) .

Extra information for Game Types :

1. Use a software called Switch Army Knife. it will convert XCI or NSZ formats to NSP.
2. NSP & XCI format are the best format for Yuzu.


Hope those helped you !

I got my steam deck about six months ago, and this video has been the one that really helped me. Thank you.

[TheChatwins]

I got everything downloaded and running but how do you add mods to a certain game for Yuzu? Where do I paste the mod? Under which folder?
