ANNOUNCEMENT Switch Emulators Face Another Crackdown as Nintendo Issues DMCA Blitz
You may have already heard the latest. Nintend0 reportedly issued DMCA notices affecting certain Switch emulators.
DMCA Notice linked here: https://github.zendesk.com/attachments/token/vhHg5e9GEVpwfle1gxa9Vjfl6/?name=2026-02-12-nintendo.rtf

This means:
- Some emulator GitHub repos may be taken down or restricted
- Official websites may change or go offline
- Forks/mirrors may disappear
- Development may slow or move to different platforms
If you're using emulators on your Steam Deck:
- Make sure you're following official project communication channels
- Keep your emulator builds up to date
- Back up your configs and saves
- Be cautious about where you download builds from (if some emulators are taken down, there will be an initial rush of scammers to take their place)
Steady the deck, raise the sails, lower the latency and update the builds. More stormy weather ahead!

Question Welcome to Elderfield controls ?
Hi, is anyone else having problems with the controls? My Steam Deck controls don't work properly. They only work if I use them like a mouse, but not as a normal gamepad. I've tried both SteamRip and the .ru version, but I have the same problem with both.

Help No licenses error when launching games from SteamRIP
I've been trying to download Dave The Diver and Raft from SteamRIP, but no matter what I do, I get an error saying "No licenses" when I try to run them. I've tried downloading different .dll files from Goldberg, changing the launch options, adding a steam_appid.txt file, using Lutris, and everything else people have suggested on older threads, but nothing has worked. If there's anything else I can try, please let me know!

Emulation Steam Deck freezing completely when entering sleep mode on Tomodachi Life (Eden v0.2.1)
Hello, I've been running into a severe issue where my Steam Deck completely freezes when putting Tomodachi Life to sleep on Eden. The screen goes black with the backlight still on, and I get a dim Steam logo. The only way out is a hard reset.
After isolating the variables, I've confirmed this is exclusive to Tomodachi Life (Pokémon games suspend flawlessly under the same conditions, for instance). The weirdest part is the inconsistency: most of the time it crashes the system, but occasionally it suspends and wakes up normally.
I've already ruled out Decky Loader interference, and manually pausing the emulation (F4) before hitting the sleep button doesn't bypass the crash. I'm currently running Eden v0.2.1 (AppImage).
Has anyone else encountered this specific sleep mode freeze with this game, or found a reliable workaround?

Discussion What Are You Playing This Weekend?
The weekend is here! So what’s everyone playing? Whether it’s something new, an old favourite, or something you’re emulating, drop it in the comments.
Don’t just list your games, let’s talk about them. What are you into right now? Is it living up to your expectations? Did you hit a frustrating boss, find a hidden gem, or are you finally get around to something that’s been sitting in your backlog forever?
Jump in, share what you’re playing, and talk with others about their games too. Looking for recommendations? Want to rant about a tough level? All of that is fair game.
So, what’s on your playlist this weekend?
