The Valve Steam Deck is the device that gamers have been wanting for many years. It puts the performance of a bulky PC in your hand allowing you to play most, if not all of your favorite titles on the go, something that was pretty much unachievable just a short time ago. Even though this is the case, the Steam Deck isn’t a perfect device and is somewhat locked behind the Linux OS, not allowing you to really customize it to its full potential.

One area that many have been looking to boot up on their Decks is emulators in order to experience some classic titles that would otherwise require some old-school physical hardware to boot up. You install emulators on the Steam Deck in a couple of ways and we’ll be talking you through these below so you can get to retro gaming with zero hiccups.
