hi, I've been getting a lot of the same 2 issues:

- EmuDeck stuck in the splash screen

- SteamRomManager not parsing or showing error messages.

- SteamRomManager takes forever to launch on Windows.

So I think it is best to just make a post about them so I can address this issues for everybody.


- EmuDeck stuck in the splash screen
This is where GitHub comes into account, I'm having issues myself with github lately, it just won't let me push new code. I don't know If they have changed anything or what, but I know I didn't change anything on the loading screen, only added the new animations. If you are having issues try this:

SteamOS: https://emudeck.github.io/frequently-asked-questions/steamos/#why-is-emudeck-not-downloading

Windows:
Select the Start menu > Settings.

  1. On Network and Internet, select Change Adapter Options.
  2. Right-click on the Ethernet or Wi-Fi network you are connected to and select Properties.
  3. Choose Internet Protocol Version 4.
  4. Select Properties > Use the following DNS server addresses.
  5. Add 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 adn 8.8.4.4, try the one that works best for you.


- SteamRomManager not parsing or showing error messages.

The dynamic parsers was a new feature and all new stuff always have bugs, they all should be fixed with the latest release, if you are missing some parser, best you can do is:
- Reset SRM configuration from EmuDeck, Manage Emulators.
- If that didn't fix it, try a custom reset and make sure you are enabling the emulators you want to parse.

- SteamRomManager takes forever to launch on Windows.
Yep, but nothing I can do here, SRM is amazing but it's old and it's starting to show its age. Sometimes it takes 10seconds, sometimes almost a minute...

That's all for today, going back to work!

I've been using EmuDeck for a long time on my Ally and Windows, but just got a SteamDeck OLED today. I can't get SRM to detect any games. No errors. It just doesn't find games. I've reset SRM multiple times. I've done multiple custom resets. All the emulators and parsers I need are enabled. SRM doesn't find games no matter what I try.

Same here, I can run Dolphin independently and get it to play the game, but SRM won't detect it and add it to steam.

I've noticed 2 main issues since the last update, both related to PS1: 1) SRM parser defaults to the retro arch Beetle and no longer shows Duckstation 2) When launching PS1 games through ES-DE, it does launch Duckstation but in an initialised state. It asks me to point to bios and roms folders, but it doesn't save the settings. So everytime I launch a PS1 game, I get the same setup screen. I've tried searching online for answers but can't find a solution. EDIT - should add I'm using a ROG Ally, and everything else I've tried seems to work ok.

I tried changing DNS settings and IPV4 and still no go on Ally. Installs to the steam deck wallpaper loading screen and hangs. No way to proceed atm.

is anyone experiencing when opening SRM through EmuDeck a second time, everything resets to default after editing the parsers previously?

On the WE version SRM isnt loading because the powershell script is missing according to the log message below. Grabbed it from github and it loads fine now. stderr: The argument 'D:\Emulation\tools/launchers/srm/steamrommanager.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter.

I noticed if you select the startup for Steam UI and you load into that on a ROG Ally, there does not seem to be a way to disable or load EMUdeck to turn this off again if you want access to the desktop again. Is there a shortcut or option to exit the SteamUI and go back to the desktop while still on the same session?
