Want to play your legally owned retro games on your Steam Machine? In this complete tutorial, I'll show you how to install EmuDeck, organize your ROM library, import games into Steam, configure emulators, and get everything running with a clean interface.

This guide covers SteamOS installation, ROM organization, Steam ROM Manager, controller setup, artwork, emulator settings, and even how I use my iPad as a portable display.

This video does NOT show where to download ROMs or BIOS files. Please only use games and firmware you legally own.
