Hi guys! I’m going on a trip where I’ll have a bunch of kids playing Mario Kart on my Steam Deck. (Full setup, connected to a TV and a bunch of controllers…last year they had a blast). I just was testing this before the trip: Seems the Steam Deck’s input is not being…registered on the game? I can’t control anything. Also, seems to ignore a connected keyboard input, like if I hit Alt-Enter to leave full screen, I can see it kinda flickers, but doesn’t get it to show the menus, and remains in game. But only while on SteamOS. Desktop mode with big picture gets the input correctly. Any idea what might be failing?

    I’ve had good luck with RetroDeck both docked and on the deck with multiple controllers. Not saying it is always smooth. But at least got it working in some emulators pretty steadily. They have put more effort into controls than I have seen from any other emulator aggregator.

      Thanks…this is a bit rushed, but I’ll try to install it alongside EmuDeck, which is what I was using last year when it all worked smoothly. I’ve had issues trying to get it to detect a new PS3 PKG file earlier this week, so I’m not so sure what’s up.
