With more features than you can count, RetroDECK has you covered. We're adding more with every release, so be sure to check out the Wiki for the latest updates.
Don't waste time on setup
Once installed, you can start playing with RetroDECK immediately. No setup wizards or configuration needed (although you can get into the weeds if you want).
Browse your games in style
Because RetroDECK is built on top of EmulationStation-DE, your game library will be matched by ScreenScraper and TheGamesDB. Metadata like cover art, release dates, and summaries will be automatically downloaded.
Access emulator settings without breaking your flow
The custom RetroDECK controller profile makes use of the left touch pad on your Steam Deck. Just touch it, and a radial menu will appear. Menus are tailored to your current emulator and include features such as save/load state, upscaling, and more.
Use your official and unofficial controllers
Use your first-party Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo controllers, as well as many 3rd party controllers. Guitar Hero controllers? ✅LEGO Dimensions ToyPad? ✅
More supported controllers and how to implement them can be found in the Wiki
