hi...

installed and tested with both options.

when starting a game from within emulationstation, it jumps right back to game selection. but when opening the file browser (F1) and then starting yuzu from there, it is working.

es_launch_stderr.log es_launch_stdout.log

i discovered something strange.

i installed the same batocera image on a mini pc, then installed this switch addon, works normal.

did a clean batocera install on steam steck and switch addon, same issue as before.

This means you've installed with a filesystem that doesn't support symlinks (FAT32, etc) for your userdata. Unfortunately this is not a supported configuration.

paparansen commented 6 months ago

did you even read what i wrote?

beside that, since when there is an option to choose filesystem?

download batocera image, flash to drive, done.

Actually, looking over your logs, this indicates you launched Yuzu via F1 first and then ran the add-on (this causes the same error) This unfortunately breaks the needed symlink which is necessary.

Remove the /userdata/system/.local/share/yuzu folder, launch a game at least once so the add-on creates the directory, and then you should be able to use things.

And while there's no option, people re-format userdata to different file systems all the time.

"did a clean batocera install on steam steck and switch addon, same issue as before."

ordovice commented 6 months ago

There are other steam deck users .. can you try removing the folder I mentioned and then launching a game?

"i guess the install script wont work anymore"

paparansen commented 6 months ago

It still works. Edit the config file to not try to update yuzu.

paparansen commented 6 months ago

ok then, will try fresh batocera instal & yuzu install script, then first start a game directly.

"It still works. Edit the config file to not try to update yuzu."

which config file?
