I have the bios files and they weren't been recognized because i didn't have them in the dc folder . Thank you, another great tutorial .

God I LOVE Dreamcast on Steam Deck. As you know Dreamcast had a bunch of arcade style games which means quick into the action and pick up and play. Perfect for a portable system like the deck! I play games like Cannon Spike more than Elden Ring 😂

Absolute legend. Really clear instructions. Subscribed!

From perspective of emulation and mods for previous games.. a dedicated keyboard and mouse for quick menu interface management would be really the complete remote mini pc mobile gaming must have among other gadgets of our time!!

Personally I never played Dreamcast since I was on Playstation during that time but maybe I'll check it out some time! :D Thank you!

Really clear and nice tutorial. I am struggling with the Steam Rom Manager though. The Dreamcast parser is not there already, I need to create a new parser. I've tried doing that but can never get it to directly launch the game from Steam, only to load the RetroArch GUI. I think the issue is when I choose My Steam Deck is completely stock and I followed all your other instructions, any idea how to fix that?

Hello, i have followed your directions to a "T" but I am still encountering an issue when I attempt to run games in 'game mode.' I have both RetroArch + Flycast installed, Bios + Flash in the proper place, Roms are GDI files. When I run the game from how you showed at 7:40 in you video, the game crashes and takes me back games profile page.

I set up 16:9 for Dreamcast, but my games are in a movie style format, where it's widescreen but also letterboxed.

Hello! Your emulation tutorials on the deck has been helpful for me and the community!


My question, so I downloaded some dreamcast roms and the files are in .iso and .raw. Are these type of files usable or nah?

[maxjay]

I don't have the steam rom manager in the config page and the interface has changed since the video

i tried a Bios setup like the one you had shown and steam deck is not picking it up. I guess its a bad bios set but i can't find a working one anywhere so I give up.

For the VMU file(your saved games) do you just add it into the BIOS file?

[DragonOfTHaast]

Hey, why does some of my Dreamcast games show up twice, is there a way to stop that from happening?

[arturocastro]

Hello 😊 Any way I can get a tutorial for Legion Go? Or would the steps be the same?

Getting flickering with textures on dreamcast games I am emulating. Any idea what can fix this? I've looked everywhere.

[Worldofantoine]

when I launch the game it tells me to insert a disc or add a file etc. Anyone know how I work around this for X-Men COTA and XvSF?

[Xx_fab_Xx]

how do you save state for dreamcast (flycast) on steam deck?

I tried several games, I open them in emudeck - they open and take me right back to the menu. I triple checked - the bios are installed correctly in the correct folder. I even tried different bios. Can you offer any help?,
