Emu Station for Steam Deck

A port of the Emu Station to SteamOS Game Mode, using the emulators EmuDeck installs.

C++LinuxSteam Deck

The Steam Deck version of JTOP’s Emu Station, ported from the Windows original.

How it works

It runs on SteamOS in Game Mode, added to Steam as a non-Steam game, and uses the emulators EmuDeck installs. The same code still builds and runs on Windows.

Game Mode shows one app at a time, so each game’s emulator takes over the screen and the shell comes back when it exits. The in-game menu freezes the emulator and asks Game Mode to show the shell in its place.
