Note: 1. The Steam OS 3.5.17 update causes PS3 Games are unplayable on steam deck. Here is the fix: Go to your EmuDeck- manage emulator- RPCS3- uninstall it - then install it again. now RPCS3 can be opened from desktop mode and PS3 games are running from Gaming mode. 2. Make Sure You *EJECT(UNMOUNT) ISO* File on Windows After finding the title ID. Otherwise, you will get an error msg with ISO tool. 3. If after using ISOTOOL you get an ISO file with .enc extension instead of .dec this means your original ISO file has been decrypted. you can use 7zip to extract the original ISO file and put the extracted game folder(single folder) into the ROM folder it will work with the emulator.

What a fantastic video. Straight to the point and nicely explained. I wanted to install a ps3 emulator to play Demon's Souls and i was so lucky to find you. Everything worked perfect, thank you.
First of all, thank you for this video! It goes far and beyond and helped me to successfully launch the game on deck! Would like to share some addition: if you want your games to appear in Emulation Station too (or just prefer to use Emulation Station to launch the game): place your game folder like in the video : /Emulation/roms/ps3 and rename the directory "Skate 3" to "Skate 3.ps3", adding .ps3 in the end. That way it will be detected by Emulation Station. After that go to Emulation Station settings -> Other Settings-> Alternate Emulators -> ps3 and choose "RPCS3 Directory (Standalone)" (need to do it once) Note: if you have already created a link to the game to be shown in Steam UI, you have to recreate it or edit it to reflect the change in path.
wow, thank you so much. this addition is really helpful if someone need to put the games into emulation station. Really Appreciated for the extra information here. Great Job! 😊
Demon's Souls runs almost perfectly at 60fps when using the 60fps hack, but you have to drop the resolution to 75%. It's not bad looking since you can use RPCS3's FSR anyway
@@DerKrazyKrautGaming Yeah that's usually the case in most games that I've tried, but the decrease varies a bit depending on the game. On the newer releases that I tried, the battery life gets basically halved whenever I run them at 60fps, whereas in older games the decrease wouldn't be as drastic (around a 25% hit to battery life give or take). So I'm curious over how big of a hit this hack would be. But I guess I can always test it later to find out!

great video, as a new steam deck user this helped a lot. a question about yuzu, been looking to install it but the findings are mixed and i don't know which one should i install. can you perhaps direct me to something that won't cause serious issues to my steam deck?
I installed FIFA 17 and installed it according to your instructions. Everything is perfect and the game runs and opens. But when I start playing it plays in slow motion and sometimes the audio lags too. The game is “playable” on the compatibility list so I thought it was gonna work perfectly. Do I need to install an update file or lower the graphics?
Yes you can try install updates and also You can follow my optimization guide here: ua-cam.com/video/32trjgRSeys/v-deo.html to improve the performance. but some ps3 just can’t be emulated well on Steam Deck. The compatibility list is based on Windows PC with dedicated graphic card .
I followed exactly your instructions but every time I do the ISO crypto step the file ends up being an .enc (encrypted) file instead of .dec (Decrypted). Does anyone know why this is? thanks
Thanks for the reply, the file is unmounted, because when I right click it gives me the option to Mount it... Sorry I'm useless at these things just I'm not sure where I'm going wrong @@ED4T
I have a question. After the whole process, it says my file is encrypted not decrypted. I followed your video to the letter even did this twice to make sure i had done it correctly but it beats the same results. Help please.
if it says encrypted that means your original iso has been decrypted before. all you need to do is unzip the original iso and put it into rom folder and you are ready to play.
@ED4T i did both following your instructions on video and description... so strange. To make sure I didn't get the mount problem, for one ISO file I didn't even open it (I already knew the name of the file to find the corresponding IRD).
Boss, I did everything the exact way for the ISO method. After I try to load it to my steam, it got stuck at the steam icon and circle forever. I can't figure what is going on. Please help.
Having problems with PSN games that have DLC. Castlevania sticks on “loading” after pressing start, Tokyo Jungle stays on a white screen after starting survival, & Hard Corps: Uprising doesn’t even reach the title screen Also, how do you disable the pop up about the shaders across all emulators?

Hello! Followed all your instruction to the dot but I am getting a .enc rather than a .dec.iso file whenever use the ISO tool. Was wondering if anyone could help. I've been trying to run Armored Core 4.
If after using ISOTOOL you get an ISO file with .enc extension instead of .dec this means your original ISO file has been decrypted. you can use 7zip to extract the original ISO file and put the extracted folder into the ROM folder it will work with the emulator.
cool thing about psp and ps1 games. they use the same iso format so you can even put them in the same folder and the emulation can play them. thats why its called PSX for emulation of psp and ps1 games.
im stuck on the Isotool exe program. im trying to crypto Kingdom Hearts 2.5 and getting a invalid iso file. File does not contain PIC/D1/D2 data error?
i donwloaded ufc undisputed 3. Everything worked fine, the game starts. But after 1min in the menu, the sound stops and when i try to load in a fight or so, it just loads forever. May the iso not be running correct?
Was able to follow everything up until the 3k3y part, my steam deck opens and closes the isotools.exe file automatically. I tried an older version of 3k3y that I found online but still not working, anyone know what’s wrong? Thanks guys
@@ED4T I actually just uninstalled it cause it was Japanese version and there were no English subtitles. But on default config i was getting 40-60fps . I’m new to RPCS3 so I still have to tinker a bit
Uncle, just to be clear. The PKG file installed to the emulator is stored in the internals, and not the sd card? I have a 64gb steam deck. I have my other emulators set on my sd cards. I see you delete the PKG file afterwards. I buy sd card for that reason, put the games inside
sorry the pkg will be installed on SD card too. if your EmuDeck was set to SD card, the pkg files will be installed at this location on SD Card emulation\storage pcs3\dev_hdd0\game you will find the game installed folder in this location.
Quick question! I installed a PKG file and it works good but in the steam collection it created a new folder than my other ps3 games. Is there a reason why? something i need to change?
pkg was installed in a different location comparing to iso that’s why it will show up in a different collection. EmuDeck need update this and have this fixed in future update . But I think the best way to manage all game roms is to use Emulation Station for now if you don’t want to see other ps3 collections.
@@ED4T Got it. It’s not that big of an issue i was just curious. However it didn’t matter much because i just checked my game didn’t work as well as i thought 😅 It isn’t compatible with the ps3 emulator. It is what it is. I’ve used a lot of your videos to help me set up my steam deck. Thank you for all your help!! I appreciate how much effort you put in to making the videos as easy as possible for new people like me.
no you don't. you can also use a stand alone emulation by just downlloading rpcs3 from there site or the software manager. but emudeck is better for most things as it auto sets up your button mapping so if you dont feel you can setup your own buttons dont use stand alones. but if you are like "im just playing this and that" and dont need to do emudeck you dont need to. i been posting on ed4t's videos on a lot of stuff telling people where to get like bio's and roms so i hope its not making him mad and telling people how to fix things. i just like helping so i hope this helps
how did you get the buttons and all that on the steam deck to work on the ps3 game? i can connect my ps4 controller to it and it works fine but i cant get the steam deck to work for it for some reason which sucks
IDK if you'll see this, but I need help. I've tried PKG and ISO files. The ISO file I seem to have used was already decrypted because the method you did just encrypted it. I have the PUPUPDATE file on RCPS etc, but nothing will work. I even used the ISO file after patch and even tried it before seeing your video of it not being patched, but nothing will work. I just want to run The Godfather II PS3 game, but I been trying for 5 hours now.... they make it so damn hard
If you iso file has been decrypted then you can just unzip the iso file and you will get a folder after unzipping then just move that folder into PS3 rom folder. It should work.
Make sure you eject the iso file before use patch software RPCS3 PS3 Game ROMs Setup Guide / Tutorial / How to (2023) ua-cam.com/video/MpsuwGG1U0o/v-deo.html
Thank you for the tutorial. I did everything the way you had it. But with iso games, after IRD and decrypt, I could not get the games to start. The steam icon spins forever after I tried to load the game and would no move pass it. Can you give some advice? Thank you!
@@ED4T yes sir! I did everything that you had listed line by line. I downloaded the iso, then download the IRD. Eject the file before the patcher tool. Then decrypt the iso, extract it using 7 zip. Load it into Emulator Ps3 rom, it shows up in RPCS3 but only when I try to load it from the steam, it would not load. At this point, I am about to give up.
@@Thevinn1 glad to hear it! I am new to the scene of emulation and have been running into my own problems, including what you listed above- so I am glad I could help! Best of luck moving forward :)
Hi, Great video. tell me I have a question about the game the lord of the rings: the return of the king on PS2, it does not work on PCSX. You would have a solution ?
have you tried setting the CPU to run only one cpu while in game. some games run better with only 1cpu. if not look up "decky" for steam deck and "power tools" almost might want to try out cryoutilities steam deck as well.
Yes 90% will be same. Only different is steam deck use emudeck. Ally use rpcs3 directly. All you can use emudeck windows version this will be very close to this video
Wait, so for me to get games running for ps3 on steam deck, i dont Need a bios, just the firmware update and the steps you did in this video? If so thats great
@@ED4T thanks a lot for answering me. I got it to work again, i think i got some bad roms. I changed download site and im back on track again. Your video is the best one for ps3 emulation on steam deck , thanks again.

Thanks for the vid! I've a question... For some reason my Emulators are not loading up like they normally do on my Steam Deck. On the "play" screen on the Steam page if I click it Steam tries to load it for a second but then returns to the play screen... I don't think it's the actual emulators/roms having the issue but Steam itself. Might you know a fix for that? Thanks again for the vid! :)
@@MANNY100123 Try setting the compatibility layer to Steam Linux Runtime. For whatever reason, the emulators, when shown on your Steam Library, use Proton by default even though most of the emulators are Flatpaks or Appimages which run natively on Linux. Those apps don't need Wine or Proton to work.
I dont know if you still have this issue but i had the same problem and its because i had set the installation file as the steam app instead of the actual application itself
Note:
1. The Steam OS 3.5.17 update causes PS3 Games are unplayable on steam deck.

Go to your EmuDeck- manage emulator- RPCS3- uninstall it - then install it again.

I've been trying to run Armored Core 4.
If after using ISOTOOL you get an ISO file with .enc extension instead of .dec
this means your original ISO file has been decrypted. you can use 7zip to extract the original ISO file and put the extracted folder into the ROM folder it will work with the emulator.
I extracted the ISO but but it extracted 2 folders. PS3_GAME and PS3_UPDATE Should I put this in a single folder or just copy it as is?
@Azrel00 it should be just a single folder. I think you should have 2 folders and one file inside the single folder. I showed in the video.

@Azrel00 not sure different game have different files

But I think the best way to manage all game roms is to use Emulation Station for now if you don’t want to see other ps3 collections.
@@ED4T Got it. It’s not that big of an issue i was just curious. However it didn’t matter much because i just checked my game didn’t work as well as i thought 😅 It isn’t compatible with the ps3 emulator. It is what it is. I’ve used a lot of your videos to help me set up my steam deck. Thank you for all your help!! I appreciate how much effort you put in to making the videos as easy as possible for new people like me.
I have a window pc do I have to download window emulator on my steam deck to order to play emulator
Just follow my video and install EmuDeck on your Deck. You don't need to download a windows emulator. Emudeck will install the emulator for you.
no you don't. you can also use a stand alone emulation by just downlloading rpcs3 from there site or the software manager. but emudeck is better for most things as it auto sets up your button mapping so if you dont feel you can setup your own buttons dont use stand alones. but if you are like "im just playing this and that" and dont need to do emudeck you dont need to. i been posting on ed4t's videos on a lot of stuff telling people where to get like bio's and roms so i hope its not making him mad and telling people how to fix things. i just like helping so i hope this helps
Great video! One problem though, Im facing problems with pkg downloads not appearing on the steam rom manager, is there any fixes for that?
Pkg should be installed inside rpcs3.
@@ED4T thanks for the reply, it is on rpcs3 and works but doesn’t appear in steam rom manager
@@DarthB4derI’m having the same problem. Did you figure it out?
how did you get the buttons and all that on the steam deck to work on the ps3 game? i can connect my ps4 controller to it and it works fine but i cant get the steam deck to work for it for some reason which sucks
try to reset your RPCS3 emulator's configuration by default the controller should work.
IDK if you'll see this, but I need help. I've tried PKG and ISO files. The ISO file I seem to have used was already decrypted because the method you did just encrypted it. I have the PUPUPDATE file on RCPS etc, but nothing will work. I even used the ISO file after patch and even tried it before seeing your video of it not being patched, but nothing will work.
I just want to run The Godfather II PS3 game, but I been trying for 5 hours now.... they make it so damn hard
If you iso file has been decrypted then you can just unzip the iso file and you will get a folder after unzipping then just move that folder into PS3 rom folder. It should work.
I do that, but it doesn't seem to work...@@ED4T
9:09 for the ISO Crypto part it won’t work for me. It says Invalid file, this file does not contain PIC/D1/D2 data
Make sure you eject the iso file before use patch software

@@ED4T thanks that worked!! But now I’m just having issues finding the storage drive for the deck on my pc.
Thank you for the tutorial. I did everything the way you had it. But with iso games, after IRD and decrypt, I could not get the games to start. The steam icon spins forever after I tried to load the game and would no move pass it. Can you give some advice? Thank you!
did you reject/unmount the iso file from Windows before you use the patcher tool and crypto tool ?
@@ED4T yes sir! I did everything that you had listed line by line. I downloaded the iso, then download the IRD. Eject the file before the patcher tool. Then decrypt the iso, extract it using 7 zip. Load it into Emulator Ps3 rom, it shows up in RPCS3 but only when I try to load it from the steam, it would not load. At this point, I am about to give up.
@@KriQz thank you! I got it to work per your instruction.
@@Thevinn1 glad to hear it! I am new to the scene of emulation and have been running into my own problems, including what you listed above- so I am glad I could help! Best of luck moving forward :)
Hi, Great video. tell me I have a question about the game the lord of the rings: the return of the king on PS2, it does not work on PCSX. You would have a solution ?
some games just cannot run. have you tried another game rom? sometimes it is caused by the ROM..
have you tried setting the CPU to run only one cpu while in game. some games run better with only 1cpu. if not look up "decky" for steam deck and "power tools" almost might want to try out cryoutilities steam deck as well.
would this work on the rog ally??
Yes 90% will be same. Only different is steam deck use emudeck. Ally use rpcs3 directly. All you can use emudeck windows version this will be very close to this video
In my case iso game shows as a folder ?
Unable to play ps3 game using Xbox controller..Game loads absolutely fine..unable to start the game..
Thanks, it’s really helpful, can emudeck play sega model 3 games like hyperspin?
sorry i am not sure. you have to test out.
Hi! Why do you not use PS3-ISO-Rebuilder?
when I go to the ps3 sony website, it shows firmward 4.90 and no option to download. Any suggestions?
Select install from computer the you can download it
does a rap file always come with a pkg file cause I got a pkg file that didn't come with one is that normal?
most of time it should have a rap file with pkg.
@@ED4T it was the army of two game.
Sorry for asking but when I unzipped the ps3 rom It had 3 pkg file how do I add All of them in one game and also it didn’t come with a RAP file?
You can download the rap files too if pkg does not come with it

Hello sir could you show me how to access debug mode in rpcs3 for steam deck? Thank you
My game keeps getting stuck on building spu cache. Any idea how to fix?
i have the same problem, did you fix that somehow?
@@zixen1452 nope some games load others just get stuck.
@@DONBLOBZ Ohh from where did you just download games? i was trying vizzlair or smth like that :P
the menubar is not show like File / Emulation etc... how can I activate it?
try to reinstall the PS3 Emulator from EmuDeck and reboot your steam deck too.
13:22 is when the .PKG tutorial starts
wow, thanks for pointing this out. its fixed now.
Wait, so for me to get games running for ps3 on steam deck, i dont Need a bios, just the firmware update and the steps you did in this video? If so thats great
Yes just do what I showed in video. No bios required just firmware and game Roms.
Some help please? This works perfectly but after a while the games become ENC files instead of DEC files and will not play.
you have to re-get dec files. i am assuming you might accidentally use EmuDeck file compression tool.
@@ED4T thanks a lot for answering me. I got it to work again, i think i got some bad roms. I changed download site and im back on track again.
Your video is the best one for ps3 emulation on steam deck , thanks again.
Great Video! Thanks! Not sure why in the IsoTools app it always shows encrypting and not decripting, for me how do I change this?
pes13 ps3, any chance to get and play it on the deck?
Ay, Do Any of You Know What to Do For PSN on Black Ops III?
which 7 zip did you download? cuz im somewhat new to this and i see alot of choices.

Make sure you eject/ unmount Iso files from Windows before you use patcher software
@@ED4T dude your the goat
I have a small issue, whenever i try to parse games with steam rom manager it doesnt even detect that the games are here, any explanations ?
are the game roms in the correct rom folder ?
also what rom format are you using ?
@@ED4T yes they are in the right rom thingy and wdym rom format ? I dont see what you mean
Are they ISO format or a folder type ?
@@ED4T my game file is in a folder
how do we install dlc for game?
Whenever I try to put the extracted file into PCS3 it’ll act as if the game doesn’t exist and it can’t find the file
You need run EmuDeck first then boot into steam gaming mode after you back to desktop mode it will show up in RPCS3
@@ED4T thanks so much I actually see the file now I’m having trouble getting it added I’ll go to add games but now I’m so much closer than I was thank you
@roscoegrant7665 no problem buddy happy gaming 👍
@@ED4T it’s saying no playable data found am I possibly missing a file with the game
Thanks for the vid! I've a question... For some reason my Emulators are not loading up like they normally do on my Steam Deck.
On the "play" screen on the Steam page if I click it Steam tries to load it for a second but then returns to the play screen... I don't think it's the actual emulators/roms having the issue but Steam itself. Might you know a fix for that?
Thanks again for the vid! :)
have you try to reboot the deck? It. sounds like a glitch with Steam OS.
@@ED4T Yes, I've tried that a couple times it hasn't fixed it yet... I will keep trying some things.
@@MANNY100123 Try setting the compatibility layer to Steam Linux Runtime. For whatever reason, the emulators, when shown on your Steam Library, use Proton by default even though most of the emulators are Flatpaks or Appimages which run natively on Linux. Those apps don't need Wine or Proton to work.
I dont know if you still have this issue but i had the same problem and its because i had set the installation file as the steam app instead of the actual application itself
Where did you get your ISO file from? I have tried 3 different ISO's and every time it tells me the ISO file is invalid.
Make sure you eject/unmount iso before using patcher tools
Hey i ran iso crypto and it gave me a .enc file instead of a dec.iso one will this still work?
If not what do i do to get the dec.iso?
if you get .enc that means your iso have been decrypted before, you dont need to do it again
@@ED4T Cheers!
