To update EmuDeck after it is already installed, go ahead and just run the EmuDeck script again from your desktop.

If you haven't installed yet, you can install EmuDeck from its website and following these steps:

1. If you plan to store your roms on a SD card, Format your SD Card in Steam UI. SD Cards need to be on ext4 (or btrfs) to work on EmuDeck. Then go into Desktop mode by pressing the STEAM button, Power -> Switch to Desktop
2. Download the Installer down below, copy that file to your Deck's Desktop and run it.
3. Now close Steam and run Steam Rom Manager when asked by the app.
4. Click on Preview, then Generate App list, wait for all the images to download and then click Save App list. The first time it could take some minutes, check on the Event Log tab to know when the process is finished.
5. Close Steam Rom Manager and the Installer window, click on "Return to game mode" on your desktop and you are good to go!
