Steam Deck / SteamOS
- Use the x64 Linux asset only (e.g.
x64.AppImageorLinux+x64). ARM64 builds are not for Steam Deck. - Work in Desktop Modefor setup. You can Add to Steamon the AppImage for shortcuts in Gaming Mode.
- If the app never starts, an old config may block it: see config folder (first-time setup) — back up
~/.config/Ryujinxand try a fresh tree. - EmuDeck / Steam ROM Manager: point the Ryujinx executable at the same Canary AppImageyou downloaded; update that path when you upgrade the file.
