######IMPORTANT!!!!######

– CoinOPS-Legends4-Deck.tar.gz should extracted to “/home/deck” for internal storage, or “/run/media/mmcblk0p1” if installing to SD card

– So your path after extracting should be one of the following:

**Internal Storage:**

/home/deck/CoinOPS-Legends4-Deck/CoinOPS.sh

**SD Card:**

/run/media/mmcblk0p1/CoinOPS-Legends4-Deck/CoinOPS.sh

– Other paths/locations will work if they do not have a space or certain special characters, however the above locations should be used if you are having issues.

FAQ:

I. CoinOPS Legends 4 for Steam Deck does not start after installation:

– The most common issue is a space in the full path to CoinOPS.sh.

– The build should be extracted to “/home/deck” for internal storage, and “/run/media/mmcblk0p1” if installing to SD card. So your path to CoinOPS.sh should be one of the following after adding it to steam:

**Internal Storage:**

/home/deck/CoinOPS-Legends4-Deck/CoinOPS.sh

**SD Card:**

/run/media/mmcblk0p1/CoinOPS-Legends4-Deck/CoinOPS.sh

– Other paths/locations will work if they do not have a space or certain special characters, however the above locations should be used if you are having issues.

II. Change controls for a game in MAME (Must be in Gaming Mode!):

1. Press both thumbsticks (L3 + R3)

2. Go to “This Games Controls”
