Include logs when possible. For a tutorial on how to retrieve logs, see https://emudeck.github.io/troubleshooting/steamos/#how-to-get-the-emudeck-log. Make sure to upload both the EmuDeck log and the AppImage log.

EmulationStation-DE just released a major new update, bringing them up to version 3.0. Congratulations to the dev team for their great work!
Check out the full changelog at https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md.
One major change with the update is that the configuration directory has been changed from .emulationstation
to ES-DE
. The new folder no longer has a dot in front of its name. This change means that in order to start using EmulationStation-DE again, you will have to rename this folder.
On SteamOS
For a quick way to rename this folder, open the EmuDeck application, visit the Manage Emulators page, click EmulationStation-DE, and click Reset Configuration.
If you have a lot of custom settings already enabled, simply rename the .emulationstation
folder to ES-DE
. You can find this folder in $HOME/.emulationstation
(/home/deck/.emulationstation
on a Steam Deck). Do note that the new folder no longer has a dot in front of its name.
In order to see the .emulationstation
folder, in Dolphin (file manager), click the hamburger menu in the top right, click Show Hidden Files
.
On Windows
For a quick way to rename this folder, open the EmuDeck application and the changes will be automatically applied.
Don't forget to take a moment and read through the changelog to discover all of the new wonderful changes with EmulationStation-DE 3.0.
First release of EmuDeck for Android just went live for our patrons.
