Setting up NFL2K24/25 ON Emudeck?

Hey guys, I have been playing NFL 2K5 on and off for a while and I have been looking into being able to play the modded NFL 2K on the go.

I was able to follow this guide here https://www.reddit.com/r/NFL2k5/comments/1amsx2q/comment/kpwggps/ to get this working on the Steam Deck. The Caveat is that I have only got it to work on Desktop mode.

Booting the thing in Game Mode doesn't really yield any results.

Is there anyway to get this working on EmuDeck/Game mode? I wanna make sure the memory cards and textures load
