Every Steam Deck Should Setup PS3 Emulator THIS WAY !

hey how's going this is ADD if you want to have a solid emulation experience on a steam deck the Standalone emulator is a way to go in this video I will show you how to set up a stand alow PS3 emulator on the deck when using the stand alow emulator re will still be able to launch any PS3 games from the steam deck gaming mode just like a normal steam pc game the benefit of using a standalone emulator versus EMC is pretty obvious you just don't have to deal with emu deck anymore that means no more issues caused by uck updates for you I can't deny the Emu deck is great most of the time but the recent updates were horrible there is a lot of stuff got messed up in their recent updates for the Standalone emulator you will only need to set it up once then it will last forever on your deck the only downside when using a standalone emulator is that you have to set up each emulator by yourself likely this process is pretty easy to do I will creating a series of Standalone emulator videos on this channel if you want to switch from emck to Standalone emulators make sure to stay tuned with this channel in every Standalone emulator video I will show you how to transfer game sa files from emo deck to the Standalone emulator so you can keep all your game save files let's start by getting the PS3 stand alow IM emulator on your steam deck first okay first let's create a PS3 emulation folder you can create this folder on your internal SSD or on the SD card here I will created the PS3 emulation folder on my SD card also you can name this folder anything you like here I will just name it as PS3 emulation the next thing we are going to do is to download the rpcs3 PS3 emulator so use your internet browser and and go to the rpcs3 official website click download from the top menu then go to the Linux section and click download from here the PS3 emulator rpcs3 should be downloaded just in few seconds then we need to go to the PlayStation website and download the PS3 system software update so move down on this page and click update using a computer then click download PS3 update so just make sure you click allow download from the top right corner it will take about 20 to 30 seconds to download the PS3 system update by the way I have both websites linked under this video description once we have the emulator and PS3 update file downloaded now we can close the internet browser then let's go to our downloads folder now we should have two files we just downloaded now let's move the rpcs3 app image file into our PS3 emulation folder that we created in the first step so just paste the rpcs3 app image into this folder then double click and open up the PS3 emulator click continue on this popup message here I will just use the dark Sim I think it just looks better on the steam deck then click continue next go to file from on the top menu then select install firware next navigate to the downloads folder and select the PS3 system update file we just downloaded so select the PS3 update file then click open now the PS3 firware installation started once you get this men just click okay the overall installation will take about 3 to 5 minutes after the installation is complete I suggest you to close the emulator and and just reopen it again next we are going to set up the controller so the steam deck building controller will work for all the PS3 games let's go to the top and click on the configuration then select pads under player one switch the keyboard to sdl then on the right under the device it should show steam virtual game pad one then click save now we have complete the controller set up then let's set up the file pass so we can stall all our games into a certain location so go to manage on the top menu then select virtual file system under the first tab emulator diir then click on plus icon on the bottom right corner then navigate to the location where the PS3 emulation folder was created at the beginning of this video If your PS3 emulation folder was created on your SD card you can just follow what I am doing [Music] here after you locate your PS3 emulation folder just go inside the folder and then click the choose button now we will see the PS3 emulation pass it show up here then click on the save button now if we go back to our PS3 emulation folder we should see some new folders have been created under the PS3 emulation folder this is what we expected now let's go back to the emulator and we will install some PS3 games into the emulator there are two types PS3 game ROMs the first type is PKG format the PKG format need to be installed so let's start with the PKG format first so here I just quickly reorganize my window on the left side is our PS3 emulator on the right side it's my external hard drive I have all my PS3 game ROMs installed on this external hard drive so that's why I am installing all copying the files from the external hard drive but you don't have to do this you can actually use the steam deck to download the game directly but I am not able to show you where to get the game ROMs because they are copyrighted but I'm pretty sure you will find it somewhere pretty easily okay now I will just start installing the PKG file so all you need to do is drag the PKG file into the rpcs3 and then you will get this message just click yes the PKG installation usually will take about 5 to 10 minutes after the installation is complete now you will get this window just click okay here if it's the PKG format it usually has the WAP file make sure you drag the wp file into the emulator too nothing will show up that's normal just remember installing the WAP file without WAP file the PG cannot be played now if we go back to our PS3 emulation folder go to hdd0 then go inside the game folder this is the location where the PKG games are installed then I will just go back to our PS3 emulation folder next I'm going to copy the second type PS3 game ROMs the second type is ISO it's also called the folder type if you are not familiar with PS3 game ROMs you can check out this video on my channel I explained very detailed for different type of PS3 game ROMs okay on the right side I have this folder type PS3 game ROM I will copy this PS3 game ROM from my external hard drive into my steam deex SD card so just make sure you copy the folder type game into the PS3 emulation games folder once the game ROM are copied over then we can click the refresh button inside the PS3 emulator the PS 3 game that we just copied over should be detected under the game list there is a great feature with the PS3 emulator is the game patch file the game patch file can improve the gaming performance so it's quite useful so to apply the game patch select the game then right click and select manage game patches then click download the latest patch from the bottom left corner click yes to download the patch and click okay again then if we click on the game name there are so many pats that we can check from here so for this game here I will check unlock FPS so I can reach 60 FPS and also I will check skip intro video so when you're setting up a PS3 emulation game it's better to check out the patch file first see if there is any performance Improvement we can apply here so at this point we have successfully set set up the PS3 emulator and also we have added two games into the PS3 emulator for the PKG format game I suggest you to launch the game from desktop mode at least once once the game is opened you can just close it if you forgot doing this step you will get this Arrow message try to launch the game from Steam tech gaming mode so try to run the PKG game from desktop mode at least once if you previously used the em deck for your PS3 emulation and if you want to copy the game save files into the stand alow PS3 emulator this is how to do it so go to your emulation folder location and show on my screen once you get into this location just copy the save data folder then we need go back to our PS3 emulation folder and paste the save data folder into the location as show on my screen check applying to all and then click right into now you have successfully transferred the game save data from Emil de into the stand alow rpcs3 the final step we need to do is to adding the PS3 games into our steam deck gaming mode so we can launch the PS3 game just like a normal PC game to do this just select your game from the game list then right click then select create shortcut and create desktop shortcut and click okay I will just repeat the same process for the other game now we should have two new desktop shortcuts on our desktop then select the desktop shortcut and right click select properties then click on application tab there are four percentage symbol under arguments sline we will delete one percentage symbol here and then delete another percentage symbol here so make sure you don't add any extra space all deleting extra stuff here only delete the 2age symbol that's all we need to do here then click okay then right click on this game and select add to steam I will repeat the same process for the other [Music] game after games were added into steam we we can delete the desktop shortcut there is no need to keep them we can also delete the PS3 system update file there is no need to keep this file then we can just switch back to the gaming mode then if we press the steam butt then go to the library under no steam the PS3 game should show up here it looks so ugly without game artwork so let's use steam de great DB plug-in to add some game artwork first I'm not going to show how to use the steam grade DB here it's pretty easy to do after the game artworks are applied now we can launch the game it will take a while to load up the game for the first time but when you load up the game second times it will be faster yeah the Skate 3 looks really awesome on the steam deck we can play this game at 60 FPS and it's pretty solid actually let's close this game and move to the next game and we can just do a quick test [Music] [Music] here this Damon so is a PKG game for the PKG format games make sure you launch them at least once from the desktop mode before you start it up from Steam OS gaming mode otherwise you will owned up with an arror message from the gaming mode that's pretty much all for this one if you have any questions please leave a comment below as always thanks for being here
