|
||
|
||
1. Open **EmuDeck**, then navigate to *Manage Emulators.*
|
||
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the *Manage your Tools & Frontends* section. Click **Steam ROM Manager**.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
2. Open the Start Menu and Launch ***Steam ROM Manager***
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
***TIP***: Your layout may look different depending on how you installed *Steam ROM Manager*. You may need to go to **Settings → Theme** and change it to *Classic* to follow along.
|
||
|
||
</aside>
|
||
|
||
2. Switch off all Parsers by hitting the *Toggle Parsers* switch.
|
||
3. Scroll down the list on the left-hand side and look for a parser called *Nintendo Switch - Eden* and switch it on. This parser may not exist depending on how you installed *Steam ROM Manager* (EmuDeck creates it for you). Follow these steps to create it if it is missing.

|
||
### Creating the Eden Parser
|
||
|
||
1. Select Create Parser and in the *Community Presets* option look for **Nintendo Switch - Yuzu**.
|
||
2. Change the **Parser title** from *Nintendo Switch - Yuzu* to *Nintendo Switch - Eden.*
|
||
3. Hit the **Browse** option under the *ROMs directory* section. Select the directory containing your Switch ROMs.
|
||
4. Under *Steam collections*, you can add a Steam category name. This just organizes the games under a common category in your Steam Library, this is optional but recommended.
|
||
5. Scroll down slightly to the **Executable Configuration → Executable**, select **Browse** and select the Eden AppImage.
|
||
6. Leave everything else the same and hit **Save** to save the parser.

|
||
|
||
4. Click the Eden parser to view the options on the right, select **Test** at the bottom of the screen to ensure that *Steam ROM Manager* detects your games correctly.
|
||
1. *Steam ROM Manager* will start to scan the specified ROMs directory and match them to games. Look over the results to ensure they are accurate. If you do not see any entries - check your parsers ROMs directory field.
|
||
1. When you are happy with the results, click the **Add Games** → **Parse** to start the actual Parsing.
|
||
1. The program will now identify the games and pull artwork from [*SteamGridDB*](https://www.steamgriddb.com/).
|
||
2. Review the game matches and ensure everything is there.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### Correcting a Mismatch
|
||
|
||
If the game is not identified correctly, you may need to tell *Steam ROM Manager* what the game is manually.
|
||
|
||
1. Hover over the game card and click the magnifying glass icon.
|
||
2. Search for the game on the *Search SteamGridDB* section and scroll through the results, selecting the one you want.
|
||
3. Ensure the *Name* and *Game ID* update in the **Per-App Exceptions** and press **Save and close**. The game should now update.
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Excluding Matches
|
||
|
||
You may want to tell Steam ROM Manager to ignore some files (updates/DLC/etc.) that it finds in the directory. This is how you do so.
|
||
|
||
1. Hit the **Exclude Games** button in the bottom right.
|
||
2. Deselect the game you want to exclude, the poster artwork should go dim and the **Number Excluded** number should increment up. Repeat with any other exclusions you want to add.
|
||
3. Hit **Save Excludes** when you are happy with your selections.
|
||
---
|
||
3. When you are happy with the results, select **Save to Steam** to save the results.
|
||
1. The program will now start writing the entries into the Steam Library. You should get pop up notifications of the progress, but you can monitor the progress by selecting the **Log** on the left-hand side if needed.
|
||
2. Restart Steam to have the changes take effect. Check your library to ensure that your games are there, in a category if you defined one in the parser.
|
||
3. Try to launch a game and ensure everything is working. You are now good to go. |
