REQUIRES STEAMDECKGYRODSU TO BE INSTALLED
How to Install SteamDeckGyroDSU
This config is basically the Nunchuck config, with modifications to enable proper, true motion controls. This can be easily converted into a standalone Wii Remote config with motion by simply removing the Nunchuck in the Dolphin menu, but keep in mind that I swapped some buttons around, so you might want to tweak it if you do that.
You are advised to examine the motion inputs so you can learn how to get SDGyroDSU to work properly with Dolphin. It's kind of a pain, since Dolphin registers it as a separate controller from the buttons. This config features workarounds so the issue is resolved.

How to Install SteamDeckGyroDSU
This config is the Nunchuck config with no attachment, and modifications to enable proper, true motion controls. Keep in mind that I swapped some buttons around, so you might want to tweak it if you do that.
You are advised to examine the motion inputs so you can learn how to get SDGyroDSU to work properly with Dolphin. It's kind of a pain, since Dolphin registers it as a separate controller from the buttons. This config features workarounds so the issue is resolved.

Tweaked Settings
- Right bumper is duck
- Right trigger acts as secondary 'B' button, and does things like shooting star bits
- Clicking the right analog stick centers the camera
- Holding the left trigger activates "holding the wiimote up right", and turns the left analog stick into tilt controls.
- The right trackpad acts as a mouse for the wii pointer (you have to change this in Steam Input as well, by turning the trackpad into a mouse)
- The right trackpad click acts as secondary 'A' button
Optional
- Attach profile to Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 specifically:

How to Install SteamDeckGyroDSU
This config is basically the one default on dolphin when you install it with EmuDeck, but it detects as default Xbox 360 gamepad (in game it's in reality steam deck's controlls). So, this config just adds to Xbox 360 controller detected the gyro inputs of the steam deck with help of steam deck gyrodsu.
You are advised to examine the motion inputs so you can learn how to get SDGyroDSU to work properly with Dolphin. It's kind of a pain, since Dolphin registers it as a separate controller from the buttons. This config features workarounds so the issue is resolved.

RPCS3 (Playstation 3)
How to set up and configure RPCS3
Metal Gear Solid 4
Credit: AwkwaBear
NOTE: This guide is just to set up MGS4 and getting it RUNNING WITHOUT CRASHING on Steam Deck, much work is still needed to get it working with an optimized playable configuration free from audio issues and framerate hitching. This page is still a work in progress and will updated as better configuration options are determined
Tutorial
MGS4 when first imported into RPCS3 will freeze natively and needs some work to get functioning.
I believe trying to patch the file using the built in RPCS3 patch manager will not fix the issue and the game needs to be patched manually to get it working. (Let me know if anyone else is able to prove otherwise)
- If you haven't done so already, follow the PS3 setup guide from RGC to get mgs4 added and rpcs3 setup
- Patch using the "Manually adding custom patches" section on this page and the MGS4 patch section in the second link. (You can make the patch yourself using the rpcs3 wiki link or download the one I have made from my github repo linked just below)
- When the instructions say "Save the file in relevant location:" you need to navigate to save it in the flatpack location instead of the usual Linux one. NOTE: ~/.VAR is a hidden directory and you need to click show hidden files in dolphin file explorer to see it.
- The location is:
~/.var/app/net.rpcs3.RPCS3/config/rpcs3/patches
- Open RPCS3 Navigate to the Patch Manager (Select Manage > Game Patches) and tick the checkbox corresponding to the patches you wish to apply.
- Select Metal Gear solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in the game list and click the tab to expand
- expand both tabs for the version of the game you have
- select the
cellspurs urgent commands hack - 4.8x(where 'x' is the ps3 firmware version you installed) - select
Crash Fix - select
Disable Shadows - select
Disable spawned effects - select
Reduce Stage quality - select
Unlock FPS 
- Apply and Save your patch settings then run the game
- Here are the current GPU settings I have tested but are still yet to be optimized
The game takes ~2 hours to install initially so be ready for a long wait
I recommend adding all the patches to boost performance as much as possible. This game is really hard to run so you need all the help you can get.
These are just the settings I got to work, maybe mess around with it and let me know if something works better and I can update this guide.
Good luck out there, this game will work now albeit running kinda like trash, there's a lot of frame inconsistencies and audio either cutting out or missing altogether but it is technically able to be played (though I would not consider it above the threshold of "playable") I think the results are promising and with some community tweaking we can get this masterpiece to generally playable state on steam deck.

Recommended Settings
- Yuzu on portable mode (idk if docked loses somes frames)
- accuracy on high, cpu on unsafe,
- make sure you have powertools and then use smt off
- use v1.0.0 of the game
Recommended Mods
- How to install mods
- This mod disables the blur effect which also increases some performance giving you some frames back: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/356187763139280896/798516893840965632/Blur_Removal.zip
- The 60fps mod found here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/356187763139280896/724250990928461834/Stable-60fps-v2.zip
How well does the game perform after these tweaks?
- This all equates to 60fps almost everywhere, I lose a couple of frames in Mabe Village and Animal Village but its not a big deal IMO.
- Fixes the invisible Chain Chomp bug
