Steam Deck with SteamDeckGyroDSU

How to get the Steam Deck working with SteamDeckGyroDSU to enable Gyro via the DSU protocol.

Prerequisites: RetroDECK Steam Deck Controller Layout

Make you have RetroDECK: Steam Deck Controller Layout installed and enabled.

What emulators support SteamDeckGyroDSU?

The DSU hook should be enabled by default.

  • Dolphin
  • Cemu - Cemu has a profile with Gyro Enabled for P1.
  • Ryujinx

The following emulators where removed from RetroDECK but had support:

  • Yuzu (Legacy)
  • Citra (Legacy)

Installing SteamDeckGyroDSU

Go to Desktop Mode and open the built in terminal Konsole from the KDE Menu (Start Menu).

Copy the following command into the terminal and hit enter:

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kmicki/SteamDeckGyroDSU/master/pkg/update.sh)

This will Install SteamDeckGyroDSU and create a new folder under HOME $HOME/sdgyrodsu/ in most cases it's home/deck/sdgyrodsu (unless you have renamed the deck profile).

In that folder you will find two other files that is good to know about:

  • update.sh - For updating SteamDeckGyroDSU

  • uninstall.sh - For uninstalling SteamDeckGyroDSU
