Just the vid I was looking for after watching the lemonade one last week. Thanks for all the helpful tips!
it's pretty much the same steps :)
I can’t thank you enough for such a well crafted, thorough, and detailed guide. I got mine up and running no problem. Your steps were precise and easy to follow. Thank you thank you thank you!
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for the nice comment! I like the well crafted part 😀
Every time I have had a Steam deck Question or issue your videos have helped me. You are the best man.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment!
Honestly i love you for making this video first off its only 14min which isnt alot and you explain everything easily without being complicated people like me who have never done something like this before can def understand this also you didnt talk about any unnecessary stuff and i love how you replied to most comments so people that have issues can get them fixed by just looking at the comments nice video man!!
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate it 😁
The fact nintendo is doing this is becoming a nuisance
Not sure if it's Nintendo this time, could be just the team behind this project having their own issues.
ya how dare Nintendo not let you play there games for free it's not like they are a company and there whole goal is to make money not they are a charity
@@jsmith3946People would happily give nintendo money to purchase handhelds that play 3ds games. Or even purchase the games themselves!
But Nintendo discontinued their production in addition to their online store. Can you really blame people for emulating the software? A mint condition new 3ds XL goes for several hundred dollars at this point and the price isn't looking to go down at all.
@@jsmith3946
I don’t think you know what an emulator is.
@@jsmith3946 If you bought a copy of the game, you are legally allowed to emulate it. Emulation is legal, piracy is not.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Everything worked perfectly for me, and I don't think I would've been able to do it this simply without your help. ♥
You're welcome 🤗 thanks for the comment!
Thank you! This finally allowed me to get Pokemon X running natively on my Deck!!
It's emulation still but I'm glad you're enjoying it! Happy Gaming 🥳
@@GrownUpGamingGUG haha yeah I know, but feels native how well it runs! Mapped the back buttons to go into full screen and swap between the top and bottom screen too!
Glad you're enjoying it 👍
Thank you so much!! This made it so easy!
@@kalilili9309 you're welcome 🤗
I’ve got to do this. Thanks for sharing
You should! Happy Gaming 😁
The newest version out of lime3DS is marked as GUI and not a QT anymore for anyone wondering. use the GUI of the 3...it is the larger file.
Also thank you so much I am so excited to play some Pokemon on my Steam Deck.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
You're a lifesaver bro, thanks so much
Hey guys so to have it play in full screen you’ll open your controls after hitting steam and you’ll set them for this game and set one of the back paddles or any button you want, to F11. That’ll put it into full screen, I did this for suyu(yuzu) and it fixes it. Then also set one for esc, or don’t doesn’t matter if you just close the game all together
Oh never mind I paused to comment this and you just did that😂whoops
Lol 😆
I hope that this will stay for long time as main 3Ds emulator. After all Nintendo is not supporting 3DS platform anymore!
i wouldn't mind more emulators actually, the more developers the better it gets really.
If Nintendo lets say wanted to re release Kid Icarus Uprising or Tomodachi Life (finally), these emulators would still be an issue.
They can do lots of things to make it not an issue.
All games mirror desktop mode. So to default to full screen, enable full screen in the app on desktop mode, launch a game then quit. On returning to gaming mode it should just boot automatically into full screen.
Did that work for you? I tried, not working for me.
When I try to open the games in emu deck it says ‘ couldn’t find emulator citra: has it been properly installed?’
And the parser thing is not showing up on my account:(
Not sure why your parser is different, maybe update your emudeck and double check. I have a settings option and can switch to classic mode. I can create new parsers for different emulators.
Silly question, im renaming Nintendo 3DS citra to Lime3DS, the keypad doesnt come up in this mode to rename anything. X and steam + X doesnt seem to get it up
ua-cam.com/video/JRSdBLOQWqI/v-deo.html try this
@@GrownUpGamingGUG yup worked ✅️ do you have any vids about which emulators to get rid of from emudeck, installed pokemin red and have about 5 icons on the steam library
i recently got a deckmate phone mount. was wondering if you could figure out a way to set up phone as a second display? to play 3ds games or use as a secondary monitor? the closest i could get is by using deskreen but it doesn’t have touch input. thanks
ua-cam.com/video/Fuq0rLNA41o/v-deo.html this is my setup
@@GrownUpGamingGUG is it possible to do this but use an iphone as the monitor? is there any other possible way?
You need to find an app that makes the iPhone to be recognised as a monitor, I'm not sure if there is a solution out there right now.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG i’ve heard about weylus. it does support linux apparently but can’t seem to get it to work on steam deck. i think this seems like the best app out right now, it’s also wireless
After installing GyroDSU and launching Lime3DS, what settings for gyro should you have on your Steam Deck? "As Mouse", "As Joystick"? Unfortunately none have worked so far 😞
See if this helps ua-cam.com/video/q-ehLPk9HXI/v-deo.html
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Sorted. Followed the instructions for Citra. Gyro isn't precise, but it's doable.
If there's a button to reset gyro, that's great. If not, thank you for helping me with an actual in-depth video.
Most people are too scared to give these tutorials out of fear for big companies (such as the Big N) taking down their channel through a barrage of copyright strikes).
@@bumly7149 glad it worked 👍
Sorry, i downloaded the files on the github, but the archives inside the zipped folder have different names. Do you know which one is the right file?
Yes the one that says lime3ds-qt.appimage.
It’s qui. now instead of qt
Thanks!
for some reason version Lime3DS 2110 when I double click on the lime-gt.Appimage it does nothing am I missing something, like the old lemonade-qt-Appimage still works any help would be great?
I haven't tried that version yet. Will try later.
Someone left a comment saying you need to change the os update channel to main and enable developer mode for this to work.
I downloaded it on discover and it works fine
I don't know when Sudachi will become Linux compatible, but I hope you'll be ready for a new video when it happens!
I will try it out later, I'm still using yuzu and ryujinx mostly 😂
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Well I can't use Sudachi on Steam Deck yet, so I'm not sure what are the alternatives besides Ryujinx at the moment. Though I heard Suyu got an update recently, but I'm going to hold off on that right now just in case.
Does it usually take a while to boot up the game? I’ve had the valve logo spinning for a few min now
a few minutes seems a little too long.
Any solution yet to Lime3DS showing the window when starting games in Gaming Mode instead of manually selecting full screen?
Yeah that's weird. I haven't figured it out yet.
Awesome video was super concise and easy to follow its just that on the latest release 2114 the lime-qt.appimage isn't there. The only appimages in the folder are .cli room. and gui.appimage. Any idea which one I use as the path to citra?
Use the gui one.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG I did that but now when I launch the game in game mode it says that the emulator citra is not found
It works in desktop mode? Then it's most likely the short cut problem created by steam rom manager.
I installed it and tried to play Mario 3D Land and NSMB2. Both runned well, but the controls are very slow, and the character moves like 3 seconds after I do the action. Could anyone give me a clue of how to solve this? Thank you!
I don't play a lot of 3ds emulation but I know it's not perfect. Do those games run well on pc? If it doesn't then it obviously won't run better on the steam deck. Maybe check for some best settings online or switch between opengl and vulkan to see if it performs better 👍
Got it all to work but when I’m using the “main” OS update channel my screen is all fuzzy but it’s the only way to launch the from game mode. If I switch back to stable to get rid of the fuzz and whitish screen then I can’t launch lime 3ds.
Maybe try a different version of lime3ds? I'm using 2109
Hey, the appimage wouldn’t launch on my steam deck and I have no idea why, I downloaded it from discover now and by the life of me can’t find the „appimage“ file to link the parser, does anyone know where it could be?
Other than steam deck I have no idea about Linux :(
Use the 2109 version.
My steam deck doesnt let me use my cursor when lime is open on desktop and it wont let me click via touch screen to add a directory
Hold steam button and use right touchpad as mouse and R2 as left mouse click.
Does anyone know how to apply update patches to the roms? Im trying to get my copy of mh4u fully updated
You need to have the game update CIA file and there's an option to install CIA with the emulator.
Is there way to configure the steam deck touchpad to control the 3ds bottom touch screen?
I haven't tried that, there might be a way. Need to test it out.
At Emulator window, go view > full screen to open emulator at full scree.
Thanks but I mean starting the emulator at fullscreen from gaming mode. Do you know?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Turns out doing this in Desktop mode fixed the problem. So just go to desktop mode, open Lime3DS, go to view > full screen. Go back to steam mode and enjoy :)
@@erikahlundhelguera I think I tried that but I'll try again.
How is touch input in these emulators (excluding the ones for Switch and PSVita) on a Steam Deck?
I haven't noticed any problems with steam deck touch input so it's the same as any other touch input like phones, switch, 3ds, etc.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Good to know. Thanks for the feedback! Saves me the trouble of trying to get a computer with dual screens as a substitute to a 3DS system.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 this is what you should get ua-cam.com/video/Fuq0rLNA41o/v-deo.html
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Yeah, I don't want to have to buy yet another device just to get some kind of authentic DS experience.
Is it possible to point the parser to a flatpak? Easier to keep updated that way
I've not tried. If you test it out please let us know.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG tried but haven’t figured it out yet, will let you know if I do! Would love a fullscreen arg on startup as well
I have a question that I think you can help me with , so I don’t have enough internal storage to download games , but I do have a 500gb sd card , so I wanna put my downloads folder in my sd card , it lets me extract and everything but when I launch the game it won’t let me play them , but when I put the downloads folder back in home the games work fine , but to continue getting games I need my download folder to be in my sd card , how do I fix it ? The games just won’t start when I switch the download folder to my sd card
Did you change the games folder path in the emulator?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG can you be more specific I’m sorry
@@k.ingdoa in the emulator there's a place to point your games directory right? Did you point it to the new location on SD card?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG steam directory or roms directory?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG or is it the category that says path to start
I have added the game to steam (it ran on desktop mode on lime) but when I open it on the steam library, it never opens. I see the steam logo for a moment and then it closes.
I just got a new steam deck and these videos have been amazing
Thanks. For me it works in both desktop and gaming mode though. Not sure about your issue.
haven't tried yet, thumb-up first
i wish every viewer did that :)
The parser doesn't show up in Emudeck. I followed every instruction. I can only launch the game through ES
I had to create it like I did in the video.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Did that. Still wont work for me. It's showing up on emudeck and on game mode but it wont boot. I'm just gonna play it on ES, works just as well.
@@ericrhodes5174 alrighty
Anyone know why nothing comes in the parser search when I try to create the parser?
It could be your internet, try again later or switch networks.
i do not have a file named "lime-qt.AppImage", the program was updated and now its not the same
Use the gui one. It's been updated like you said.
You are awoseme! :)
Thanks bro 😁
Found the solution for version 2110 app image not opening. Turn on dev mode in system, and also under system change OS update channel to "Main".
Wow, I always have developer mode enabled as I need to switch between game window and trainer window. Didn't know it's need to run an appimage.
I cant find system in system settings
In gaming mode, press steam button, settings > system > enable developer mode
@@MythHead Settings> System> OS Update Channel> Main
I'll try it thanks!!
Whenever I go to Game Mode and launch a game whatever button I press is not detected. Any fix for this? 😢
Enable back grip buttons and bind a key to keyboard F11. Press it to go to menu and setup input controls. Gaming mode input might be different to desktop mode.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG thank you for the tip!
I tried what you did, but when I press a button on my SD it doesn't change controls (input)? In Game Mode I can change controls but I can't save.
Sorry I don't understand your question.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG I mean setting up the controls in lime 3ds.
@@spidertrickstar can't save in gaming mode? Is it you can click the ok button? Maybe connect to a keyboard and press enter? Sorry I haven't used this emulator in a while.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Can't see ok button in gaming mode. That's why I can't change controls and save the changes I made.
Have you tried connecting a keyboard?
I followes the steps, but my controls arent working in the emulator when i start up games. No button does anything
Try holding the start button in desktop mode for like 1 sec and you should hear a little beep. That's gamepad mode for your controls. See if that helps with input controls.
I have the same problem and I’ve tried holding the button
@@TheonlyNickEvans i tend to setup everything in desktop mode first. Have you tried holding the start button in desktop mode for like 1 second and you should hear a little beep. That gets you gamepad mode. Try it out. Hold start button again if you want to change buttons back to desktop mode.
I have a question.
My games have a strange "piss filter", how can I get rid of it?
(It only happens in desktop mode)
Not sure but why are you playing in desktop mode?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG to get a better resolution, as I'm stuck with the standard one on Steam and I don't know why
You mean resolution scaling?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Exactly. Btw I fixed it, I don't know how, but if it works, it works, right? Aahhahaaha
Anyway, I have just one last question, is it possible to swap screens in-game?
One thing i know for sure. That's way to much work to make a single emulator to work.
Lol 🤣
could still get citra in the discover store, didn’t have to change any parsers
Great 👍
My controls aren’t working for some reason and I’ve set the controls to the same as you had
@@TheonlyNickEvans i tend to setup everything in desktop mode first. Have you tried holding the start button in desktop mode for like 1 second and you should hear a little beep. That gets you gamepad mode. Try it out. Hold start button again if you want to change buttons back to desktop mode.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG It’s working through citra on emulation station and I’ve tried putting it on desktop mode and it didn’t work
Not sure but mine is working fine somehow.
My rom is unfortunately encrypted any idea how to decrypt them?
There's a tool you can use and get from the internet to decrypt 3ds roms. I won't share it here but I'm sure you can find it.
I followed every step, they show up in gaming mode but they start to launch, then return back to steam
So you get the shortcuts but they don't work? Maybe the shortcuts generated by steam rom manager has problems? Check the parser settings in steam rom manager.
Thx for the tuto. But where can i get the games ? Im not english so sorry if you already said it in the vidéo 🙏
You are supposed to dump your own games from your 3ds.
romsfun has tons of roms
Hi is there a way to know if the games you have already installed are already decrypted?
If you did it yourself you would know 😂
I downloaded the game and put it in the rom file like that so I'm just curious if there's a way you can tell if it's already decrypted. (Soz if this sounds dumb)
It just says fatal error occurred when I start it up
@@trickshot9460 i'm not familiar with downloading roms but from logic, if it doesn't work then it's obvious that it's encrypted 😉
Yes, it turns out the file I downloaded first was encrypted, but I didn't know that's when I decided to download it from somewhere else, and it said that the file is decrypted so everything is good for me now. Thanks for that
Seguí todos los pasos y me muestra los juegos, pero al iniciar el juego me dice Your ROM is encrypted.
Please follow the guiedes to redump your... y continua con unos links que están caídos, alguien me ayuudaaaaa!! :(???
As this emulator is a fork of citra, citra requires roms to be decrypted.
I got it to work, the problem was the .3ds files so look for another page for the download
Hello, thank you for the guide! I run into an issue when it comes to playing the actual 3ds game and get a "fatal error" message. The 3ds games do not work for me. I have tried opengl, vulkan, and software.
Are your roms decrypted?
@GrownUpGamingGUG yes, roms are decrypted
@@davidg047 I've read that the emulator settings of region might help with that but I've never encountered that issue. Maybe you got a bad dump?
@GrownUpGamingGUG every time I click "open log" to check the issue, I get a screen of a kde wallet system. And the webpage does not load.
have you tried another rom?
Mine doesn’t auto map which button do I press on the steam deck
Yup I press the steam deck controller button and it will auto map.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG found it!
Great 👍
When I pick the folder is says nothing is in it
What folder?
Anyone know any good 3ds rom lists/downloads?
Nope
You're supposed to dump them yourself 😅
google search is free 😑
I'm not sure why, but whenever I start up a game, it says fatal error occurred despite following all the steps.
Did you get them to work on citra previously? It's basically the same really so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Check your settings, roms, there's not much more.
I didn't have citra before as I never set it up. I watched this video first as it was the most recent
Go to settings > graphics > advanced > uncheck "Enable Hardware Shader". See if this works for you.
Yeah, I tried it, but it still didn't work, unfortunately.
@@zelionhd372 how many games have you tried? Do you know if it's an emulator issue so all games don't work or is it just some games?
It says fatal error occurred when trying to play Pokémon ultra sun help
Most likely rom issue.

Community preset not show up.. can anyone help?
You could pause the screen and set it up manually. But I'm not sure why you don't have community presets.
Did the same for me but updating rom manager fixed it
How does this work for Rog Ally 😭
get the windows build and double click it.
Why not continue to use citra? It’s still out there.
@@DaiChurch yes, just getting prepared since it won't be getting updates anymore.
Trying to open the App Image and it’s just not opening
Do other appimages work? You need to pinpoint the issue. Whether it's the appimage you are trying to open is the issue, or your steamos is just not opening all appimages.
Same issue, other app images work just not lime
Having the same exact issue here. Lol Trying to figure out why it isn't starting up.
@@GreenNinja2525 if it's just lime3ds then maybe that's the issue. Try redownloading it.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG already did that, nothing
Nintendo is weird for taking down ways to play their games that they don’t sell anymore and barely rerelease properly
I don't think it's weird, if they were my properties I'd probably be more aggressive 🤣
@@GrownUpGamingGUG eh I disagree because if I’m not going to continuously keep it available and i technically don’t lose any money then I wouldn’t be aggressive
@@mannyblight6140 they are mostly striking down switch emulation stuff which is the current generation console.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG yeah but cites did 3ds which they shut down the eShop for years ago but I do hear you
yuzu and citra were the same team so that's why they were taken down together. and they are also rereleasing 3ds stuff, most recently luigi's mansion 2 hd. but the main point is, nintendo owns them so they can strike them down even if they don't do anything with them now. gotta respect that.
If it's a fork of citra it has code that Nintendo now owns
I'm not familiar with how the open source license works. Are you saying Nintendo can change those code from open source to closed source now? So all the forks need to shut down? Is that how it works? Are there any examples of this?
only just got a PC. finding this so confusing
Pc? Handheld pc?

I don't have the auto map button , how do I add it ?
