EmuDeck is a tool (more precisely, a script) that you can download/install which greatly simplifies the installation of 160 emulators and supporting utilities to your Steam Deck. However, a dock with a mouse and keyboard will make the installation much easier. If you don’t have a dock, you can use the Steam Deck shortcuts described here to use the on-board touchpad and buttons as a mouse and keyboard. This way, you can easily attach a keyboard and mouse to perform the steps below. I decided to connect the Steam Deck to a USB-C dock (the Park Sung dock, mentioned here). If you want to be able to run classic games from various systems on your Steam Deck, this guide will make the process much easier. You may also check the Change Log for any new updates.

I recommend bookmarking this page on your Steam Deck to assist in the future. *NOTICE: EmuDeck may evolve over time, as such some of the instructions below may evolve as well. Video: Steam Deck EmuDeck v2.0 Setup Guide
