Eli5 the difference between this and emudeck
RetroDECK aims to be an all-in-one solution. No need to mess with the terminal or anything.
It automatically configures the emulators, has a fantastic custom controller configuration, and is very easy to update through flathub/Discover.
Sounds exactly like emudeck
Yeah at this point they’re basically the same thing. The important difference you have to know is that Emudeck will install emulators independently, and show them as their own games in your Steam library, whereas Retrodeck will install ES-de and only show one executable in your Steam library, from which you will launch your emulated games. It’s a matter of preference.
This one is a single flatpak that is self contained, the other one is a script that downloads the emulators one by one, in both cases you can pick and choose which ones you want to download from a list and they’ll do the rest if you provide the ROMs
My fav #emuation method. I hated how EmuDeck takes anywhere from 25-35gb’s of SSD, and in so many different places if you uninstall.
Recently uninstalled EmuDeck to go back to #RetroDECK. Wondering why it took me so long! All-in-one is a win in my eyes. And even more glad that Ryujinx has been half solved. Looking forward to getting back to my Switch games.
