Help Set up PCXE 2 and Duck Station to boot in Big Screen mode

[Airvanz]

Ive Managed to set up ps2 and 1 in big screen mode for my Refurb 64 gb LCD Steam deck by added these parameter

-bigpicture -fullscreen  

After upgraded the NVME SSD to 1 TB, i cant make it work,the emu wont work unless i delete The parameter Which previously work

RetroDeck or EmuDeck are the easy ways to set up emulation on the Deck.

Man Before move to other app,is there any fix for my problem? the emulator playable 95% its just that KBM interface that annoy me,i want to make it Controller friendly by always launch in big picture mode. i done it before but now i cant? Why? especially its linux native app its kinda dissapointment

if you problem is related to the controller with other games and apps, maybe you could check if this helps:

https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

that one isnt updated (and uses an outdated version of python libraries which prevents it to work; maybe someone could port all code to python 3, who knows), but there are forks based in it, and i think some versions were supossed to run in steam deck. is like a driver + app that allows you to set your own steam control profiles without having to launch steam client, so you can use it with other games and emulators too.

you could try luck with this one:

the first guy had it right. Put your roms in a safe directory, uninstall everything related to the emulators, and install Emudeck instead. Its the most user-friendly way to do things. Only took me an afternoon to get SNES, PS2 and Gamecube games running in game mode.

To get the emulators to recognize the steam deck controllers, you need to go into the input settings and select "SDL/0" in the dropdown. Once you do that, you can even edit the controller configuration within steam, like any modern game.

The Emulator Runs Great its just i Need to Enter Big Screen mode every time i want to Explore Emulator Settings with Steam deck Controller, because its Launch as PC Desktop app for Keyboard and Mouse not in Controller Mode

Its Baffle me that Epsxe and Duck Station doesn't have "Always launch in Big Screen Mode" Toggle Like Steam Does, to the point i need to write those parameters in to get what i wanted. Its Work Once then no more somehow

Anyway i got myself some 1,5 TB Micro SD for my Old Game Hoarding Tendency i gonna put The ROM and ISOS there and Emulator / PC Game at SSD, wish me luck maybe
