Importing Games into Steam with Steam Rom Manager

Use this when you want to import your games inside Eden into Steam to launch with artwork from Steam Game Mode without needing to launch Eden first.

Click Here for a version of this guide with images & visual elements.

Pre-Requisites

  • Steam Deck Set up and Configured
  • Eden set up and Configured
  • Internet Access

Steps

  1. Press the STEAM button and then go to Power → Switch to Desktop to enter the Desktop mode.

  2. Install Steam ROM Manager, there are 2 ways you can accomplish this, either manually or through EmuDeck.

    Manual Installation

    1. Open the Discover Store and search for Steam ROM Manager.
    2. Select the Install button to install the program.

    Installing Through EmuDeck

    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.

    3. Click the Install button on the right hand side to install it.

  3. Open the Start Menu and Launch Steam ROM Manager

  4. The program will now launch and show you a window with parsers.

  5. Switch off all Parsers by hitting the Toggle Parsers switch.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. When you are happy with the results, click the Add Games → Parse to start the actual Parsing.

  10. The program will now identify the games and pull artwork from SteamGridDB.

  11. 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.

  12. When you are happy with the results, select Save to Steam to save the results.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Try to launch a game and ensure everything is working. You are now good to go.
