lemonade is dead but lime 3DS lives [Music] on hello everybody Welcome to the channel today let's talk about Nintendo 3DS emulation on the steam deck Steam OS if you didn't know already Citra the popular open source Nintendo 3DS emulator that's dead okay it was taken down Nintendo sued Yuzu and then um yeah they settled out of c and Citra died with it unfortunately and we had a promising Fork lemonade I even made a video showing you how to install lemonade emulator it's a fork of Citra onto your steam Deck with mu deck and you know add all the shortcuts and stuff like that if you watch that video this one's pretty much similar so you might want to skip this one but uh yeah it's dead so if you go to the lemonade emulator right now and you try to download it uh you can't anymore can't download it anymore not found okay I think it was like rumor has it that it was still in code but it's open source I guess they weren't giving the proper um credits I'm not really sure how the open source um stuff works I think you have to give credit or something like that uh they do have some uh stuff you have to comply with okay even though it's open source so now we do have something called lime 3DS so this is another Fork of Citra so lime 3DS is a project which aims to revive and continue work on Citra a popular open source Nintendo 3DS emulator which sees development so hopefully this um you know lasts longer um you know I hope the you know they've got a strong team um yeah that's that's something we really need okay so I'll link this in the description go here to the GitHub page and then releases get the latest one right now as of recording it's 2109 okay just download this the app image okay I already downloaded it so it's right here 2109 lme 3DS okay unzip it uh you just need the Lime cute. app image so just drag it over okay and I normally put my okay so I put my app images for emulators I put them in my home directory and then applications so it's all here so I'm just going to move my my lime 3DS app image over here to Home applications move here okay and you want to open it double click it and then execute okay and then the first thing you want to do is double click to add the games list the game folder so double click and locate your ROMs folder I have mine uh because I've got muut installed right I I'm assuming you o have it so if you don't go here mud.com links in the description as well just go to download click Steam OS and you should be able to download a file called mud. desktop double click it click execute and it's like a Windows installer just follow along just next next next next next install it okay um and then you know you run it um you get to choose between installing it on your SD card or your internal SSD I like to keep my emulation stuff on my SD card so once you've installed it on your SD card you get a new folder called emulation and then ROMs so here's where I put my ROMs so 3DS okay it's either 3DS or n3ds um depending on which one it's the same they're linked to the same so it's n3ds but I also have a SIM link so um yeah so n3ds or 3DS and here are my ROMs okay so I'm just going to go to computer deck then if I want to locate my SD card it should be under I find it oh here it is Run Okay so run media run media um how did I get to this page oh actually it's here so go to slash and then um here run media and this is my SD card and then it's inside the emulation folder ROMs then uh 3DS or n3ds they link to the same it's a Sim link so n3ds so here's all my ROMs I'm going to cck choose then you see my ROMs just populate okay and I think you want to change like here you want to use openg GL or Vulcan depending on the game I find that open go works fine some games probably that you find don't run that well you might want to change it to Vulcan click on it I'm going to use open GL for now okay and then you want to go to configure okay controls all right so this is the keyboard controls at the start and uh if you click autom map okay press okay and then I'm going to press a button on my steam deck okay and you can see here I think this is the like desktop mode this the desktop game it's not Gamepad mode so if you didn't know uh there's two modes for your steam de controls in desktop mode it's either desktop mode or Gamepad mode so if you see start button is button six it should be Gamepad mode so what you need to do you need to hold press and hold the start button of your steam deck for like 1 second and you hear a beep this is game pad mode now if I move my right analog stick it's not moving so I know it's good so if I click Auto map again then click okay and I'll press a button on my steam deck okay you can see here button seven is the start button yeah this is the so when you go into gaming mode it's definitely Gamepad mode your your your controls so you want this controls okay so make sure and then motion touch you also want to click in here and you might not have simu hook UDP right now so in order to get that you need to go to your muud deck and then here third party tools gyroscope make sure you install Steam deck gyro DSU so install this Okay click on it and install it once you've installed it you should have these two desktop icons okay update jarro DSU or uninstall so that means you've installed it so once you've got this installed on your emulator when you press motion touch you select simu hook UDP okay and everything is on default so make sure the server and the port this default okay and you click test and it should be successful if it's unsuccessful it's mean something's wrong you probably need to reinstall the um jarro DSU okay so yeah mine successful done and then um let's click okay and then um for the view you can also select the screen layout so depending on what you want I like large screen so it depends on the game I guess so large screen is you got one big screen and then the bottom touch screen is just a small one on the side okay so once all that's done um you might want to like different games might need different configuration settings for your graphics and stuff like that I like to set the internal resolution to 3x uh for my steam deck and then yeah depends if you want to change these settings I'm just going to leave at default for now okay and yeah we're pretty much done so just close it what you really want is you want to open Steam ROM manager to um create the steam shortcut so you can launch the game in gaming mode so I'm going to click here steam ROM manager and then it forces you to close steam so just click yes and steam should shut down all right make sure this Steam logo on the taskbar that's gone as well okay that's gone now here too passes I'm just going to turn them all off because I just want the new one uh you won't have slime 3DS here all right I did have um I created one before for um for 3 lemonade but I don't need that anymore to so just click here settings I think a lot of people don't know this you can go here select theme select classic and you can actually create your own passes so click here create passes okay and then um search for a preset I'm going to search Citra because it's very similar so I'm just going to select this one Nintendo 3DS Citra okay and then here configuration title I'm going to change Citra to Lime 3DS and then here steam category I'm just going to keep it at 3DS so if you have other like 3DS emulators you might want to change this all right so let me like change it so you know what I mean lime 3DS okay and then path to the ROMs you need to select the ROM path so click browse this is my SD card here select it emulation ROMs then 3DS n 3DS n 3DS folder and you also need to PA to the executable so click browse and I'll put mine in Home applications then lime shot app image this one okay and then I think everything else is okay make sure you click save okay and then scroll at the bottom it should be come at the bottom okay so I've got here lme 3DS and this is the old one lemonade let me show you like in case you have other 3DS emulators make sure it's not conflicted you want to change this the steam category so make sure steam opens a new category if you don't want to like put them all into the same 3DS you don't know which emulator it's going to use okay so save and then go back to settings here and then we want to select the theme mu deck go back to the normal view click preview pass and yeah it's loading we've got two of each because I've got two emulators now okay so save to steam make sure you click this button and make sure on the top right here it's going to say like done so make sure you get that before you close it so let's wait for it doing it thing like don't panic here it feels like nothing's happening you might want to just close it no just wait for that message on the top right corner to say like done finishing the batch or something like that okay doing batch it's still doing its thing not done yet now done adding removing entries there make sure you have that then you can close it close it and then let's go to gaming mode so let's test it out in gaming mode see you back there okay welcome back to gaming mode so you want to press the steam button and then go to library and if you can see collections I've got two separate see even like they're the same games they're sharing the same ROM path but I've got two like different emulators so this one was my old one which is using lemonade and this one's the new one lime 3DS so depending if you want to separate it okay now let's load up a game Let's load up aaren of Time 3D one of the best games out there in my opinion okay so I'm not sure why but it opens up like it doesn't open up in full screen if you know how to fix this let me know in the comments but um what I like to do is because the total full screen button is f11 so I press the steam button again and then go to controller settings controller settings I'm going to enable back GP buttons okay and then so make sure this is toggled on and then I select R4 and I'm just going to use the like keyboard f11 button okay so now if I press my back button I can toggle it between full screen I was saying this is the large screen screen layout so you can see um okay let me show you different layouts so view you can screen layout you can do hybrid screen um you can do yeah so whatever you want single screen um yeah you can test this out yourself I like large screen okay file and then you can see here open lme this lime 3DS this is the line 3DS emulator um yeah that's how how it works so yeah I'll leave it here um yeah I hope this video helped you out if it did please hit the Thumbs Up Button really helps out the channel and I'll see you guys in the
