Switch Emulation (Yuzu) Guide for the Steam Deck

Switch emuluation is here and it’s wonderful. In this Yuzu guide, I go over connecting controllers, preparing files, installing the emulator, running it in Gaming Mode, and configuring some hotkeys using SteamInput.

I think it’s time to Ditch the Switch and Fan the Deck.
